Important Subject Matter
Ladies, gentlemen and all you other crazy people, we need to take a break from this diet shit and have a serious chat about a serious subject matter:
Bras. Under t-shirts. Old, see-through t-shirts. In the office.
Look, kids, I take a lot of pride in my appearance. Oh sure, from time to time I've been known to sulk about in pajama pants or crappy jeans- we all have those days. But when I go to the office, I try to pick out something tasteful (mostly out of fear my boss will think I am dressed inappropriately). My underwear is certainly not visible through my pants, or when I sit down. My midriff is not a noticeable attribute at the office. Even my (let's face it) massive cleavage is contained to the best of my abilities, ok?
So lately, where I work, there seems to be some consortium I missed out on attending because lately, all I see in the office are tits. I'm not joking. There must be some secret, spooky bra-club for these girls. You know what I am talking about. The see through t-shirt and the solid bra (see photo for subtle example).
Crowning achievement of the trampy-trampy-bra-club? A tattered t-shirt in a pale shade of orange brought to new life by a BRIGHT blue bra underneath.
This particular person? She makes more than I do. I just felt like that was worth pointing out.
Hey, to be clear, I am not saying I don't flaunt the twins from time to time. Nothing of the sort. On the weekends? At night? Homegirls come out to play. Wanna wear a black bra under a wife beater? Fine by me - do it up.
My point is just that at the office? No one needs to see what color your lingerie is. And it grosses me out. It's TRASHY. Don't you know you are dressing like TRASH in the office, ladies? Show some pride! Show some class! Acquire some taste!
It's an UNDERgarment, ladies. The only people I REALLY wanna see with visible undergarments while they're working? Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Take a lesson.






I'm not a big fan of that either. I dropped my preschooler off at school and every time the teacher moved I got a 2 inch view of her tummy. Not attractive either.

oh here here! seriously, what is with that?! i don't need to know the color of bras or panties (when they pop out, and they always seem to pop out of people's pants). but like everything, there is a time and a place for that and the office is not it.

I know your cellphone has a camera on it. It must.

Your posting is wonderful. I am not sure how I got it, but it must be fate. I am the single parent of a wonderful 19 year old female. My wife, her mom, passed away when she was 7, so I had the priviledge of raising her alone. Through tough times and wonderful experiences. I have printed your comments about clothes out for her, and she whole heartedly concurs with your comments.
You must be a very strong and confident woman.
I congratulate you.

I agree. Tits are great, in the proper time and place. Work is not proper ;)

I love the dichotomy of comment types you get. You are an advertiser's dream with your diverse readership demographic.

wait... who's dressing like this??? Is it someone who came on after I had already left?? SPILL!!
also, yes, that's only cool in a "I'm going out to a punk rock concert tonight" kinda way.
