Writing a book about women’s breasts made me appreciate the power of boobs. For example, I never realized how often women’s breasts appeared in the news. No, I’m not talking about public nip slips or cleavage baring celebrity selfies posted on social media. I’m referring to the stories that uncover every aspect of breast ownership….
An open letter to Victoria’s Secret from a young father went viral this week. He’d heard a rumor (untrue) that the lingerie giant was starting up an underwear line for middle school girls. His concern was how Victoria’s Secret new target market would impact his three year old. Said the Rev. Evan Dolive, “I don’t…
Does your breast life need a lift? Mine did. I hit my 50s searching for a quick pick-me-up. I took up running, signed up for self-improvement classes, and had a cosmetic breast lift. I wrote a short story in a random writing class about my perkier “girls.” That sparked a sudden and burning desire to…
Breasts were, as usual, the focus of attention during 2012. But this year offered up surprising new views on several breast fronts. Some breast stories revealed more than others. From Time Magazine’s image of a four year old boy standing on a step stool suckling at his mother’s breast, to the PR failures of the grand dame…
Back in high school my breasts often arrived in the room before I did. My breast size was a frequent topic of conversation. I sported a pair of DDs in the 1970s, rare in the decade known for encouraging bra-less freedom. That was not an option for my buoyant “girls.” And their power seemed out of my…
News reports leading up to Mother’s Day were obsessed with one specific breast: that pictured on the cover of Time Magazine. Despite the media hype, it makes sense since the word “mother” originates from the root “mamma,” or breast. But you don’t have to breastfeed, or even give birth to be called “mom.” You’re given that…
A recent display of bras on the pages from a 1979 Victoria’s Secret catalog made me reflect on what lingerie reveals about a woman, from the inside out. The changing breast aesthetic has always been driven by fashion: from the 1920s flapper with a flattened chest to the pointed missile look of the 1950s. Historians…
I felt some kinship with GoDaddy.com when I first launched my website back in 2006. They’d drawn attention to themselves by producing controversial Super Bowl spots, and it made sense to park my new boob domains with their company. Go see The Contract – Internet Only commercial at GoDaddy.com I hadn’t yet published my book or spent…
Actress Ashley Judd is in the news speaking out against the media’s obsession with women’s bodies. Her article in the Daily Beast is a response to comments made about her face. Journalists felt compelled to report on its “puffiness” and consider if it this was due to weight gain or cosmetic fillers. Ms. Judd detailed claims about her that…
I’m a huge fan of cleavage, if for no other reason than it’s proof positive that women’s breasts are powerful. They’re used to sell everything from beer to bras, and they never, ever lose their appeal. Everyone loves boobs, no matter their age, race, or sexual orientation. Cleavage is so attractive that it’s hard to…
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.
