    Okay, H, minus the orgasm face, is actually pretty cute.

    One time, a few years ago, I happened upon a cone bra in a Macys, so I decided to try it on for shits and giggles. The end result was that it made my breasts look like something out of "Dr. Strangelove."

    Who decided that cone-boobs were an attractive look? Sometimes* cultural beauty standards baffle me.

    *Usually...
    Maybe always.

    @KentuckyBabe: Oh yeah, I totally agree. Mine look pointier when my nipples are soft and rounder when my nipples are hard (TMI?).
    Personally all I want from a bra is to stop them from jiggling around and to hide hard nipples... basically to make them as not-noticeable as possible. Or, sometimes, to make mondo cleavage when I'm feeling frisky. I don't want my boobs to look like spikes OR globes... just like boobs...

    @TurtleSpeak: I just want elevated and lack of jiggle - unfortunately the ones I find most comfortable do nothing for the jiggle factor. I don't even care about about hiding the hard nipples.

    I also wish I could find a cute bra that didn't also have designs which showed under every t-shirt I wear.

    Honestly, I was only in for a few months before they switched to the digital wash and wear with the Timberland knock offs, and I was very pleased to make the change. Freed up hours of my Sundays.

    @i'm a bottle: Well, I can safely say I miss the way it looked, and I enjoy complaining about the laziness of troops these days as much as the next gal... However, I do remember cracking the box of suede boots open, and realizing I would never again stub my toe on the curb heading to Monday morning formation and becoming homicidal because I fucked up my beautiful shine. I did continue to iron my cammie blouse after the "change" though. I suppose there was some nostalgia in there, after all.

    @i'm a bottle: Sadly, I also have terrible terrible memories of my days in ROTC, which were full of fail, because despite all those hours of practice, I never really learned the patience to shine properly. And the ironing! Here's a little bit of military related discrimination that most people don't know about. Most dry cleaners will do what they call a "military press" which means they iron in pleats into all the places that they are supposed to be. The kicker is, the pleats for women's uniforms are different (or at least they use to be. This was over ten years ago), and the dry cleaner on campus did not offer the kind of pleating that we needed. So while all the guys would just drop off their uniforms and spend like $7 to have it cleaned and pressed, the handful of women in our unit had to do everything by hand.
