Oh heavens! What a wonderful lot of posts!
River I am in fits of laughter here! I did do the blonde thing once, actually went platinum, then various shades thereafter, but now that you have reminded me, the story of it might be a good starting point for another thread! (phoenix makes notes in jotter, erm, apricot, hairdresser in shock, mr p worrying about what he may have been up to, gradual recovery.........)
But as for the buxom!
Well, just lately my thighs and bottom have been making a really concerted effort to qualify for the "buxom" category, one can only admire their determination. The side effect of being eligible for the over fifties cellulite award is of course just the last thing I need reduced sugar icing on the fat free cake.
You see, it's my bosoms, or lack thereof. No matter how much weight I put on, it never seems to make a difference in the chest department. I have mentioned before my love of gel bras (Debenhams, can't remember the exact name of the band, might be Atlantis) or air bras from Primark. I seem to remember that years ago Gossard did an air bra that you could actually pump up to the required level, a friend of mine had one until an unfortunate incident one flag day.
The only advantage of my being at the back of the queue when chest allocation was being considered is that there is no droop. Zero, zilch, nada. Pencil test? I can only manage the fag paper test if I lick the gummed side and actually attach it!
Mammograms are a bit of a challenge too, might help if they would at least let me stand on a box.
