I’m not often exposed to bare boobs, at least not like those found in the new Kickstarter book project, Bare Reality: 100 Women and Their Breasts. I’ve seen my fair share of breast images; hiked up in racy bras or teeny string bikini tops (giving the wearer that “tits on a platter” look). If they…
I was a bit surprised by the moral outrage expressed over the recent publication of stolen celebrity nude photos. There’s been a general consensus (after the initial slut shaming) that the right thing to do is to boycott consumption of the pictures. Conservative and liberal commentators cautioned readers to refrain from re-posting the photos; not…
Sometimes it’s hard for me to block out the noise of everyday life and listen to my own authentic voice. There are articles to write, updates to social media, and too many emails to answer. But that’s what I’m working on this week. I’m in Taos, New Mexico, attending a writer’s retreat at the historic…
Would you wear The TaTa Top? It’s inspired, in part, by the #FreetheNipple movement, an effort to achieve greater gender equality. The hashtag comes from the movie, Free The Nipple. The film questions the necessity of laws governing exposed nipples. While it is legal in the US for men to bare their chests, only breastfeeding…
Please join me in welcoming Laurie Shapiro as a regular contributor to The Breast Life. I first met Laurie in New York, when I was invited to preview her luxury line of lingerie, Toad Lillie. I loved the intricate details of her designs, her choices of fabrics and trims, and the impeccable construction of her…

Parent or not, you may call, text, or visit a mom, mother-in-law, or grandmother. This annual day is the way we recognize and thank women for bringing us into…
Ever thought about putting on a pair of pasties and giving tassel twirling a try? I never had, until I started writing my book. I knew burlesque theater was coming back in vogue. What I didn’t know is that Seattle (where I lived at the time) is home to Miss Indigo Blue and her Academy…
Do you remember what you wore on your prom night? Back in the early 1970’s, my Mom bought me yards of baby blue brocade fabric and a pattern for an evening dress. In those days it was cheaper to make your own formal than to buy one. My prom night That wasn’t the case for…
You don’t have to live in the heart of Hollywood, as I do, to be exposed to celebrity wardrobe malfunctions. You can find photos of these breast displays anywhere; whether it’s a supermarket tabloid, entertainment website, or mainstream media outlet. It’s still viewed as “shocking” news when a well-known woman has a breast related wardrobe…
I just returned from New Orleans with a ton of Mardi Gras beads. Did I have to flash my boobs to get them? You might think so. It’s common knowledge that women routinely show their boobs along Bourbon Street, in exchange for plastic Mardi Gras beads. Everyone knows Mardi Gras celebrates indulgent and bawdy behavior:…
Until she wrote a book on the subject, Elisabeth Dale didn’t know much about her breasts. She created this site so that readers can find the best products, clothing and surgical options—anything and everything related to bras, breast health, and well-being.
