Jon and I are about ready to leave out tomorrow for businessy meetings in several states. When I last went out on tour I made one compromise to the t-shirts and jackets. I wore a minimizer bra under it all so it didn’t ruin the line of the shirt and jacket. Ruin the line of the t-shirt and jacket? Why should my body conform to the clothes? I’ve also been watching a little more current television. When I was a young girl a woman did not wear a shirt that strained across her chest. It was considered slutty. Now, everyone on television seems to be straining the buttons on their blouses. And most of these women have small chests. Those are push up bras under there, because most do not have enough body fat to have enough chest to threaten their clothes. But nothing fits my curves without straining a little unless I tame those curves. I was actually happy that I’d found some under stuff that allowed my curves to fit into the ever smaller and narrow shirts that seem to be out there for women, but no more. I’m striking a blow for women with curves. I’m tired of clothes making me feel like I need to hide some of me. No more. No minimizers on this trip. Maybe some designer out there will take pity and actually make clothes that fit and look good on someone that has a chest, and has arms, and thighs, and calves. All of me is round and bodacious, and I am tired of the fashion industry making me feel like I should apologize for that.
