ON SALE, BITCHES!

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO WHERE IT SAYS "HERE WE GO" IN BOLD IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ MY MILDLY AMUSING RANT ABOUT BRAS AND SALES.

I always imagine that if there was a room full of big boobed ladies and I walked in with an armful of new bras in their sizes and yelled, "ON SALE, BITCHES!" that they would trample me, but I would die a happy woman.  Why?  Because let's be honest, we're used to paying a LOT for bras.  I'm not sure if it costs more to make such large cups or if we are being punished for having such fabulous breasts, but I sure as Hell can't buy a $5.00 bra at Walmart.

However, this is actually a good thing.  I occasionally fall into the trap of reading fluff pieces on the Yahoo News front page and there's always the one about saving money tips.  The tips are always so fucking stupid that I usually walk away and eat a tub of icecream and order Manolo Blahniks just to spite the stupid articles.  I love "make your own coffee at home, and stop buying it at Starbucks!"  REALLY?!  THIS IS SHOCKING NEWS.  "Bring your lunch to work!"  NO LIE?  THAT'S ALL I NEED TO DO!?

Anyway, once I actually read a good tip and it was: don't buy certain items cheaply because they wear out quicker so you buy more, thus spending more over the long run.  It got me to thinking about how many pleather handbags I had bought recently for $20 just because "hey, that's sorta cute."  In about a month, the handle is fraying and I'm looking a hot mess carrying it around.

We can relate this to bras as well.  When I was pregnant, I refused to buy bras in my right size and was actually stuffing myself into 38DDs from Target and Walmart.  Yes, I know, I am going to Bra Hell.  I refused because I figured "I'm not pregnant for that long," in retrospect I want to punch myself because 9 months is a hell of a long time to be uncomfortable day in and day out, but whatever Past-Me - you suck, moving on.  I have a LOT OF 38DD bras that are frayed, ripped, with straps that simply snapped in half, cups that just gave up.  I imagine those bras saying help meeeeeeeeeee when I was wearing them.

But do not despair, I eventually stopped being an idiot and my breasts are no longer smooshed like googly eyes every which way and are happily supported in quality bras!  And these bras last a long time.  True, I hand wash them like a maniac but then, these bras are like my children and I would not throw my child in a washing machine, no matter how many times they got crumbs on their faces.  When I first delved in the land of Happy Supported Breasts, I admit I probably paid full price for a lot of bras.  Now, I am going to let you all in on something:  SALES.

Here we go:

Figleaves promo code, good until 8/26/12, 10% off your order: us10spring

(this was found by simply Googling "Figleaves Promo Code" SO I will leave the dirty work for other places to you for the time being!  Leave a comment if you're looking for something specific and I will keep an eye out!)

Lately, I have been wanting to try some Curvy Kate bras (I will admit I was boycotting them because they do not allow women with breast surgery into their modeling competitions, which I think is a load of BS, but I will write more in depth on that subject later).  I finally succumbed recently because it's hard finding lines that go up to H-J cup and I found a pretty sexy price for the Thrill Me:

Brastop has the Thrill me for $20.32! (Yes, I did the US conversion for you because I am nice like that!  Anyway, for $20, you really can't go wrong!  I would imagine a bra from the Showgirl range is a nice way to start out your CK collection because they're flashy and everyone wants one, including me!)

Barenecessities also has FREE SHIPPING on all orders right now.  ALSO a promotion code for 20% off is bnp20s1012.

I would find you more sales, but I am drinking red wine and have lost interest in everything but red wine.

HAVE AT IT, BOOBIES!

Much love and sky high cleavage,
Gigi
