Something tells me that burning bras is bad for the environment. But totes loves the spray-on abs!

i seem to remember something like this happening a long time ago, but i’m sure tyra totally came up with this on her own.

No. 3 blah says:

I never understood the whole burning bra ideal. Hey, if you’re a D-cup you CANNOT just walk around without those puppies strapped down. First of all, if they are real, they will hurt like hell the second you pick up a quick jog or start to walk briskly. Secondly, they start flopping all over the place - which leads to saggy, soggy boobs! No one needs to see that. Do you really want to accidentally step on your own boob! Wear your bra’s ladies. Don’t listen to this crackpot. You’re taking advice from a woman who is scared of dolphins.

I am convinced that early feminists were all flat - or willing to suffer for their cause. I am glad that feminism has gotten less radical, and I can wear my foundation garments. Zey maike uh bewbie ‘appie!

No. 6 janice says:

The point is NOT to burn bras, while wearing a bra. Way to start the revolution, Tyra.

Also, blah, seconded. Burning bras as a feminist idea is oppressive to the big hootered ladies. We needs them. It is just not comfortable to have them puppies unsupported. Plus, should I have to run for the bus or something, I would prefer not to create a scene, and experience the pain you speak of.

No. 8 Fiona says:

Sorry I missed the memo… just why is she burning bras? Why does everything she does feel like a massive publicity stunt, all style and no substance?

No. 9 blah says:

Well, I’m an A cup (wah wah waaaaahh), but my cousin is a tight fit in a DD. That poor girl was like that when she was 15!!! She had to shop in “the old ladies with big grandma boobs” section and get those huge 18-hour bras. Sadness.

I’d also just like to point out Mr. Pervy McWatchesalot in the bottom left corner. That is all.

they burning them and still wearing them. hows that work

No. 14 janice says:

That’s terrible, blah. Honestly, when you’re a teenager, them things can be a curse. You’re too young to know how to manage them, and people are either making fun of them or just fixated on them.

No. 15 yourmom says:

I had no boobs until March of 2005, when, as a 22 year old, I finally hit puberty and grew breasts. Let me tell you, talk about a life change. I went from an A to a large C without surgery, but if I could take it back without surgery, I certainly would. These things are still a pain, and I’ve had them for 2 years already.

No. 16 blah says:

I was jelous of her (which is weird because I’m 5 years older), but after seeing what she had to deal with…no thanks. If I want them, I’ll just buy them like God intended.

No. 17 Lisa(#1) says:

I had dubs in 9th grade. As an insult, some asshat called me “fat boobs.” I was so mortified, how did he know under my baggy shirt? Anyhow, he ended up being gay.

No. 18 deimos says:

i’ll keep my B cup. big enough to be noticed small enough that they’re not painful.

No. 19 blah says:

I used to be a C cup, but I lost 40 pounds in high school and they went away. Now I’ve been an A for about 10 years. Thankfully the weight never came back, but neither did the boobs. I’d like to lose 20 more pounds, but I’m afraid if I do, my boobs will become concave.

No. 20 Nicolyn says:

I had to start wearing a bra in 3rd grade! And not one of them training bras, like a REAL woman’s bra. It’s no fun. By the time I entered middle school I was already a C cup and once I was in High School I was a DD. Boys just don’t know what to say/do when they see something like that. Especially a taller girl with HUGE breasts who plays sports. I hated them then and I still hate them now. I’d love to have a reduction…

No. 21 janice says:

Sometimes I love them, because they can literally make any outfit look good. I can be wearing just a plain t-shirt, and, like accessories, they make it special. They also look great in evening wear.

That said, I’d also like to take the shrink ray to them, sometimes. It’s not the kind of attention I want. I’m a small girl, so they look ridiculous sometimes, and they also make it literally impossible to wear certain shirts without having people think I’m a slutbag.

No. 22 Cheeko says:

I’ve been a B since 8th grade, I kept waiting for them to get bigger…my whole family has large breasts…but i guess at 26 it’s never gonna happen. I’m kinda glad now, they seem like too much trouble.

No. 23 Cheeko says:

And yes, I would love to fill out evening wear just once. :)

No. 24 deimos says:

do what i do cheeko, buy a damn good push up bra. they work wonders for evening wear.

No. 25 janice says:

Also, just rock the really plunging necklines. Those necklines, with big bazoons, look strippery, but they can be so nice on the right person!

No. 26 blah says:

I wore a training bra in second grade. I convinced my mom to buy me one and she indulged me. However, I didn’t need one, and so of course it didn’t fit. It kept curling up on me because there was just nothing there to keep it in place. It must have looked really weird to see me in class trying to keep that thing in place.

No. 27 janice says:

Lisa, I missed your comment about “fat boobs”. I hope you punched him. Hard.

No. 28 Nicolyn says:

Janice - Agreed that sometimes they do make wonderful accessories. And for being such a large size, I must admit that mine are still rather perky and nice. But, having said that, do you ever notice yourself buying a larger size shirt than you actually need to? I mean realistically if I didn’t have DD’s then I would be wearing a Small or Medium sized top. But NO! I have to get either a Large or an XL so that I don’t look like a ho-bag with a shirt stretched over my bewbies. And what about wearing strapless? Just not something I even consider b/c if I do then I have no support. Ughh…trial and tribulations of being a woman. Oh to be able to pee while standing…

No. 29 janice says:

Hey Nic! My puppies aren’t too much trouble. They’re Ds, but small ones (30Ds) so it doesn’t throw the shirt size off too much. What does happen, is I can’t wear dress shirts because either they do the ho-ey button pop-open right over them, or they have about an extra 5 inches around the waist. I find it more affects the style of shirt I have to wear, than the size, cause I’m a pretty picky shopper. I usually end up just wearing stretchy t-shirts. I hear you on the strapless though. Unless there is some serious structure, like corseting or boning, you will not get me out in one of those. It’s just not appropriate. Ze bewbies need discipline.

Does anyone else think it’s cheap that she’s wearing a cut-off shirt, and everyone else is actually in their bra? Not fair, Tyra.

No. 34 lale says:

I’m wondering when up-to-the-bellybutton stretch pants came back in fashion. I have a pair of stirrup pants with a fancy pleat running down the front that have been burning a hole in my closet.

Posted: Feb 1, 2008 at 2:28 pm
No. 35 SeriousStyle says:

I hate my boobs. I once e-mailed Tyra’s show to help me fix them, because she does shit like that. Mine are small and very lopsided in that one is a medium B and the other is nearly nonexistent. Thanks genetics! I wear padded bras to even them out.

Anyway, I never heard back from Tyra or her show. I’d burn my bra, but I can’t take it off otherwise they’ll be uneven and wonky. So Tyra, if you had heard my pleas back in the day, I might be able to support your bra burning cause, but no!

Now you are dead to me…

…at least until Top Model is back on air.

FEBRUARY 20!!!!! It is a B-day present just for me, one day belated.

SS: Maybe you could get on Dr 90210 - does he do like charity and junk? That way those puppies are F.R.E.E.!

Lale: those pants sound hot. I would totally wear the fancy pleat if I could get Tyra’s ab-airbrusher to work for me.

No. 37 SeriousStyle says:

I was once told that insurance might cover it in the case that it might be a birth defect.

Great, now I’m defective.

LOL!

Besides, Dr. 90210 freaks me out.

No. 38 lale says:

Thanks, Lisa. I knew I was right in keeping them. Clearly, Tyra knows her fashion. Maybe I can be a guest on her show, with my stirrup pants, a bra, and my weight posted on my chest for the world to see. And she’s not fat, by the way. That loose skin is clearly a bad angle. Yeah, she’s the only one wearing a jacket, but that’s just to differentiate herself as the voice of authority, okay? Seriously, it’s not bad enough that she tries to make pudgy women feel comfortable showing their rolls to the world, but she’s gonna airbrush her ass to look decent? Not right. Oprah would never do that.

True, SS, he will just grope you afterward and tell you how sexy you are. Creepie.

I mean, come on Doc…I already knew that.

No. 41 Tamara says:

Not to defend Tyra or anything (she is one basket short of a picnic), but maybe they are burning their old, ill-fitting bras? She could be riding off one of Oprah’s previous shows where the women were told most of them were wearing the wrong size bra.

Dunno, just thought that was an idea. Methinks this show hasn’t actually aired yet. :o)

Let’s go with that Tamara. The only think I could think of all day to say was

“Tyra-don’t get too close to that fire and burn that wig.”

That shit smells nasty, when you burn it accidentally. (Don’t ask) (Romantic beachbonfire incident- mmmm)

I like your idea Tamara.
