If you’re like me, you subscribe to a bunch of different blogs. One of my favorites is Nancy’s Point, written by a wise and compassionate woman. She talks about breast cancer and loss, no easy topics to cover. Nancy recently challenged her blog writer friends to join her in going a bit off-topic, for a change…
I know what you’re thinking. Breasts have no moving parts, so how can they hold any shortcuts to living a happy and productive life? The female breast has been worshipped and adored for thousands of years. Yet scientists know little about them. No one knows what keeps them up, or why they appear on our bodies long…
Fashion websites have been falling all over themselves to celebrate the latest advertising trend: women over 50, 60, and even 80, fronting for brands in the fashion world. Joni Mitchell, Joan Didion, and now Twiggy, are the current hot senior commodities selling stylish designer products. I love to see older women celebrated and honored in this way. Now in my late…
I almost missed The Smithsonian Channel’s documentary on breasts. Truly Strange: The Secret Life of Breasts premiered last Spring, but I didn’t catch the episode until mid-December. Given the shocking premise of film, it is truly strange that it didn’t receive more media attention. The questions raised by The Secret Life of Breasts are ones I’ve thought about for years…
I’ve spent many a cold January day making up a list of New Year resolutions. I’m not sure how many of them I kept, but it doesn’t matter anymore. Writing anything down helped me focus on my goals. This year is different, though. One phrase keeps popping up in my head. It’s a simple and straight forward message…
There was plenty of boob news that could have made this list of 2014 best and worst breast news stories. Many hit on issues from past years; like public breastfeeding, celebrity cleavage, or pink ribbon campaigns. But a few stories stuck out for me, thanks to their stupidity or smart thinking. Most of my picks for “worst” breast…
It’s easy to think modern society is the source of all our breast obsessions, whether it’s a media emphasis on everyday cleavage or sexualized images of women’s bodies. But tens of thousands of years ago, breasts were also the center of attention. Goddess worship was common because the female body and breasts symbolized fertility, birth, and nourishment. Think about it: a woman…
Are you offended by the latest Victoria’s Secret “perfect body” lingerie ad? Many are concerned that the ads shame women of different sizes and shapes. There’s even an online petition demanding that Victoria’s Secret apologize and kill the campaign. Here’s the ad in question: Yes, Victoria’s Secret is selling their line of “perfect body” lingerie by showing…
The summer I was sixteen years old, the pill changed my life. The unexpected transformation started with a three-week period — the female kind. It took the form of a raging, disastrous storm in my ovaries filled with a torrential down-pouring of my insides, painful cramps, and a lot of tampons, all while attending a…
I’m baffled by news stories shaming female celebrities or other women who go braless. The headlines are written to shock and meant to embarrass and chide them, as if they forgot their bras or suffered a wardrobe malfunction. It’s assumed that the women in question are committing some kind of fashion sin. The strangest part is…
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.
