Shallow Boobs, Not Small Boobs

The quest for the perfect bra

Shallow Boobs, Not Small Boobs
Venusian Glow

When I was twelve-years-old, I decided for myself that it was time for me to get my first bra. My mother was extremely hesitant on taking me to Victoria’s Secret for my first bra fitting. After all, I was more flat-chested than my male classmates. My twelve-year-old mind was dreaming of the legendary Victoria’s Secret Angels. I thought that buying one of their gorgeous, lace, push-up bras would make me as beautiful as they are. I was wrong.

The lady at the store measured my size and came back with ten different nude bras all in their smallest size, 32A. I tried the first bra on only to be mortified how I looked in the mirror. I looked nothing like the Angels on the runway. The band was hooked on the last set of hooks, the wires sat on top of my breasts, and the cup gap was far too large. It was the smallest size! How could it have not fit?

I have shallow boobs with a wide root. What does this mean? There are two types of breast fullness, shallow or projected. Projected breast are what you normally think of breast, full, round, and a handful. Shallow breast means that the root of your breast is wide spread across the chest. I found in my perfect bra hunt that a majority of the bras made are made for women with projected breast. What I need were bras that sat correctly on my ribcage and shallower cups. I found the most idea style bras were plunge and balconette bras. These style bra cups generally are made to leave the upper part of your chest uncovered. An example of a plunge bra for shallow breast is the Natori Feathers Contour Plunge. The bra is cut leaving the area between the breasts open.

As your body changes constantly, your breasts do too. The search for the best fitting bra continues….

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
