Continuing the boobie discussion of the other thread: I was reading your view on the braless look this morning, and, eerily, for the first time (perhaps ever?), I didn't wear a bra to work today. Undergarment - yes. Bra - no. I don't think you'd be able to get any hints, though, about actual boobal appearance with what I'm wearing.

If you can swing that look, it looks good. Lose the jacket. But then you might get more attention from the cats who sit around you than you want.

Undergarment other than a bra? One of those sheer things (I don’t know what they’re called)?

All women who can should do the braless thing regularly. I am sick of the push up bras and cleavage enhancers. If you are large breasted and must wear a bra, I understand. But if they’re pert and stand on their own, why wear something you don’t need?

I was at a party over the weekend talking to a friend. She asked me whether she looked good in some dress and I complimented her on having gone braless. She said, somewhat perturbed, “I AM wearing a bra... Do they hang that much?” I didn’t know what to say. I just gave her some crap line like “Well, no, they’re just so big.” I may have to discontinue my breast commentary. Seems to get me into trouble.

I'm not wearing a jacket. Sweater - relatively thick knit, and loose-fitting. I can't lose it, or I'd be sitting here in only my undergarment, and that would be chilly. Last week, I wore a thinner-knit sweater, and discovered that I was sporting the headlight look (thanks to the cold). I was mortified, and spent the rest of the day in my office, or with my arms folded, hoping nobody noticed.

I just accidentally stumbled upon the braless thing. Long story, but the punchline is I was somewhere where the only clean clothes I had were white shirts, but I had only dark-colored bras, so I just went without. I may never go back.

I am a little concerned about the sag factor, however. Meh.

Yes. Thank you, pookie.

I would have responded last night but I was at a baseball game with my boyfriend, trying to figure out whether this guy jumped or fell into the net. Sportscenter told me later that he jumped.

There were a lot of words in that article......how do they distinguish it from the first two years?

What I found interesting is:

Hmmmm, hey douchbagg, how about just suggesting charging an "exit fee" of $20K at the end of the third year? The baseless sense of self-importance in this profession is nauseating. I quit.

I did a speaking engagement at a law school a year ago on becoming a lawyer. I proceeded to advise the auditorium that they were fucked and ought to either go into high end plaintiff’s work or transactional work, which would allow them to transition in house later and get the fuck away from the traditional firm litigator/service partner life, which is a shit existence. I then explained how they’ll be worked senseless and dumped when the partners deem their salary too high, and that unless they have business, they’ll be wage slaves forever.

Before the horrified faculty could drag me from stage, I managed to say “some folks call this a storied profession - they wind up teaching. It’s a business, and the sooner you learn that, the better you’ll do. If came into this looking to make it a life, you’re doomed.”

I was told by a faculty member outside that my candor was not appreciated. But an adjunct just stood there with tears in his eyes, giggling.

I have not, and will not, be asked back.

Explain.

I'm sure Sequels has one or two. It's sort of like a loose-fitting t-shirt thing, but more sheer. I'm not sure if it has a name. I will call it Jane, maybe. Without it, the wool from my sweater could be irritating on the sensitive spots.

Something had to distract you guys from losing.

Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrn.

Does it have sleeves?

Unless your boobs are huge and gravity is a significant factor, the sag factor depends more on the muscles behind the boobs that support them, than on whether you wear a bra or not. Or so my doctor told me when I asked her. I go without a bra whenever I can.

Nice try, but that would only be a burn if I or my companion were Yankees fans.

I have seen that also. BUT, if you can do exactly as TM says - bold faced lie and say "that ex sec is crazy", and take on all allegations with absolute denials and take offense at even being accused of impropriety or having your personal life examined - you can easily beat the Ex Sec. The problem is whether the Summer will go along with the lie. If she can’t be depended on, you can’t take TM’s prescribed course of action.

The solution is simple. Both the Summer and the Ex-Sec have to die. It's only a question of whether or not Too Wong Foo really has the balls to be partner material.

Then it's not sort of like a t-shirt. The sleeves are the t's cross.

Please note GWNC's excellent use of the subjunctive. She is to be emulated -- and is also quite the grammarian!
