I've been offline for a few weeks, my laptop once again had to go off to be repaired. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on you point of view, it couldn't be fixed and has now gone off to that great computer scrapheap in the sky.
In its place I now have a new HP laptop to while away the summer evenings installing updates and software on.
The last couple of weeks have been busy at work, I'm now working on a project that I've wanted to be involved with since I heard about it. Its going to be interesting and if things go the way that we expect then I might be having to help with a demo to our customers customer which is going to be a very interesting experience. I'm definitely not hiding myself away and hoping for a quiet transition, which is what I'd planned when I first started planning to transition.
The highlight of the last couple of weeks was a makeover and photoshoot that I did one Tuesday evening. I'm not going to go into it in detail as I want to write about it once I've received the pictures from it and scanned them in. All I will say now is that it was really good fun and I just wished I'd had the money available to buy copies of all 55 pictures that were taken during the session, 15 of which I selected because I liked them when I was whittling them down to the 3 I ended up buying.
The other thing that has happened is while I was making my way to the venue for the session I'd stopped off at one of the shopping malls in the area. As I was making my way down some stairs I realised that without a bra on my breasts were bouncing about a little too much. To solve that problem I popped into the local department store where I usually get my bras from and asked to have a bra fitting. My first ever bra fitting in fact.
The lady that served me was really good. After a bit of confusion as to the size I was looking for due to me wearing my breastforms, I was soon trying on a selection of bras for those times that I didn't want to wear my forms. Well it seems that I'm an A or B cup depending on the bra. All of the ones that I tried were padded which is great as I've not got anything to fill the one cup while having enough to fill the other cup.
After trying on about half a dozen bras I eventually selected 3 that were on sale, a great bargain.
After leaving the store and driving back to work I decided that after the weekend I would stop wearing my breastforms and would resort to what nature has currently blessed me with. Well my forms are a C cup, which is definitely noticeable or so you would think. Without them my bust is a lot smaller. In the week since I've had my homemade breast reduction not one person has commented. I'm not even sure if anyone has noticed the difference. I've definitely noticed the difference as its lovely to be able to do things without carrying the extra weight of breastforms around especially with the current warm weather. One thing is for sure though, I'm going to have to find somewhere to put a drawer full of bras until I'm big enough to fill them again.
Hi Jenna!
ReplyDeleteSo funny - I had *my* first bra fitting as well! lol Great minds, and all that, clearly!
The girls are still on the smallish side (they don't have much to work from in me!), but my "baby boobies" are big enough to warrant a bra now.
I too had a wonderful experience. I had my first public outing yesterday, and never once did I think about my bra. In fact, it felt so... normal to be out as myself I am wishing I did it sooner! lol
Can't wait to see the pics of your photo shoot, hon!!!
Hugs,
Cass
