While dressing this afternoon, I realized that the bra I wanted to wear under my Red Stapler t-shirt was not in my undies drawer. As I dug through piles of cheap cotton underwear, other bras, and ratty slips, it occurred to me that I haven't seen the particular bra in some time. Was it lost in the laundry? Did I leave it somewhere when I went on a trip? When the hell was the last time I wore that thing?
Since I doubt putting a picture on the back of a milk carton (Have you seen me? 34 B beige bra with little bows on it. Missing since sometime in 2007. If found, contact the Center for Misplaced and Runaway Lingerie) will lead to my bra's discovery, I am going to have to replace it. Unfortunately, it seems that the price has increased dramatically since I bought it two years ago. Harumph.
I think I am wearing it today. Seriously. I recently discovered a beige 34-C Victoria Secret bra in my drawer (I am a 32-B) but I figured I bought it by mistake and since the rest were dirty, I put it on this morning. Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteHummm maybe the dryer ate it? I lost one once, but it was later sighted being used by Airborn Rangers on a parachute run after funding cuts.
ReplyDeleteIt ran off with all my matching socks. You know, the good ones that don't slide down into your shoes.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain -- I bought a maternity tank top, wore it once, and haven't seen it since. It's hot pink. Where could it be hiding? I don't take off my shirts and leave them places...
ReplyDeleteHmm.."little bows on it", hey? I remember a long ago time when a little girl eagerly snipped bows off her bras!
ReplyDeleteMom - I know! I laughed when I typed that.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice - Love it!
Suebob & CM - I think all our stuff is hanging out together at some haven for runaway clothing.
Sara - Hilarious, but my bra is a 34 B, not C, and not from Victoria's Secret. I got it at Town Shop, which is the NYC equivalent of Schwartz's in Skokie (you know - where all the Jews go to get "good" bras).
My bras don't run away, the underwire merely comes out of one side and then I continue to wear them with the potential of looking lopsided. Hey, do you remember when I yanked the underwire out of my bra at my 26th birthday party. It was jabbing me so I removed it at which time a certain nutjob former friend of mine realized that it fit on her head like a headband? It eventually made it's way to my head and then I promptly forgot about it. I ended up wearing my underwire headband on the city bus home to my apartment.
