Cleavage

Lots of focus on Hilary's extremely modest display of same. I noticed the last couple years at work that the underwear as outwear style had surfaced, and some ladies (?) were wearing lingerie under suit jackets. Well, O.K. One of them always wore thigh high skirts and stiletto's, so displaying a lot of chest seemed her thing. I always thought displaying thigh, breast or what have you (sounds like chicken recipes) at work was a bad idea.

But lately, these cleavage displays are everywhere, all the time, and the interesting thing is as cleavage comes to the fore, so to speak, ah god, the possibilities for puns are endless, the bras are getting less and less transparent and unstructured and more and more like (thank S.O. for this similie) Panzer tanks. I mean we are talking serious padding and thrusting. I am shocked when I walk by the display at Kohl's how fierce the bras look. Like they might jump off the rack and come after you.

So apparently one wears the wispy little camilsole's instead, if one wants to display cleavage. I got inspired when we went to the theatre Friday and also wore a camisole under my jacket, but all evening, whenever I looked down, I thought, holy shit! and pulled the jacket together. Suddenly the whole get up seemed like a bad idea. Cleavage is better left to formal dress and costume parties and young actresses. I dunno. I dunno.

Poor Hilary, lampooned in the press no matter what. It is good to fly below the radar. It is good to be anonymous. It is good to be Grapeshot.

Who is wondering if there is a middle line between wispy camisole and Panzer bra. Whatever happened to the "No Bra Bra." Whatever happened to anything?
