yank my poooor tired cups up 'n outta the sack ~~early~~

before the crack of DAWN!...

and hang me on a bush to catch sight of this

glorious sunrise on Florida's eastern shore!

*sigh*

Sorry, 'twas NOT good idea...

And now I'm goin' back to bed!

Please visit Sugar Queen's Dream to read the rest of the story...

Lingerie - for the bedroom

Our clients often ask us if we're planning to introduce lingerie to our line. And they mean lingerie that is meant to be taken off. And as we work with lingerie retailers across the nation I hear them also ask, "will you make lingerie for large cup ladies that's meant to stay in the bedroom?".

Boudoir wear for the full bust is very hard to find. The closest thing I see on the market is the Harlequin brand (Masquerade in the UK) by Panache. The brand's tag line is "Made for Romance". Aubade, Elle Macpherson and Pour Moi? manufacture underwired babydolls, but I'm not sure if they come in the large cup sizes.

This is walking a fine line because by definition *sexy* pieces don't have a lot of coverage, being either low cut or sheer, but no woman I know feels desirable when her voluminous breasts are resting on her tummy. We need lift to feel good about our selves.

This Betsey Johnson babydoll actually has potential because it has a tie back, so you can cinch the support under the bust, and the shoulder straps are adjustable. Maybe one of the best things is that usually this type of garment doesn't stay on long.

Readers, please clue me in if there is a great boudoir wear line out there for the full bust that hasn't made it on my radar. I know some are in the works: www.bijte.com.

Vroooooom-Vroo( . )( . )ooooom!!! Daytona Beach/Florida

Gentlemen...(and Olga)...start your engines!....

We're off to the races!

My Sweeeeet Dayton Beach Chaperon, Sugar Queen

strapped me in and took me for a ride over to see the

Daytona 500 Experience at the

Daytona International Speedway in...

Daytona Beach, Florida!

(Did I mention I am currently visiting Daytona Beach?!?)

What a thrill it was to get up close and personal with one of the greatest NASCAR drivers in the world, Mr. Dale Earnhardt...

and as you can tell by his pose,

Dale was pretty pumped to see me too!

And as I lay my straps down upon Mr. Earnhardt's special plaque on the

Walk of Fame...I heard him whisper some sage advice to me....

Psssst, Olga...

"You've got to be closer to the edge than ever to win.

That means sometimes you go over the edge,

and I don't mean driving, either."

And I said; "Ditto dat, Dale!

But...I think we'll ALL winners!"

A blast to the past - the Longline Bra

We hear all the time that our clients aren't comfortable in a strapless bra. More often than not this apprehension isn't attributable to a specific characteristic of the strapless bra, but rather an overall sensation of, "this isn't working".

If you have a hard time wearing a strapless bra, give the longline bra a try. The longline bra is a decades old style that used to be a staple in every woman's wardrobe. All those sundresses of the fifties had such a pretty shape in large part due to the longline.

Widely available in strapless and/or convertible versions, a longline offers more support than a strapless bra because of the width of the back, and the boning down the torso; it is a substantial garment. A longline bra is not a basque or bustier because it stops above or at the belly button - your natural waist, while a basque comes down to the top of the hip. Also a longline bra doesn't have garter clips/suspenders.

The Goddess longline bra pictured at the top begins at 34 and goes up to FF, although since Goddess is a full figure brand, the cups can accomodate quite a bit of breast tissue. Wacoal's (I know some of you are die hard Wacoal fans) longline starts at 32 and goes up to DD.

Do you any of you wear a longline bra? If so, is it in lieu of a strapless bra?

Remember, if you have any questions about the best bras, swim & tops for your full bust, contact Bratique Helene today; being well endowed is a blessing and not a curse.

A Couple of Great Big Double-D Woo-Hoos! (& Beauty Skool Update #8)

My cups runnneth over (again) 'cuz my humble (well, sorta) Travel-Blog

has been chosen by Tripbase travel website as one of

2009's Best Travel Photography Blogs!

"The award for best photography blog is given to those fortunate few bloggers that were able to combine a wide range of incredible photos along with evident enthusiasm for their work, which is keeping fellow travel enthusiasts well-versed with what was happening along the away, also allowing readers to live vicariously through the blogger and being able to indulge in their passion of travelling."

I am truly honored to be included on this list of award recipients...'specially since most of them are professional travel-photographers...and, tho' I am a professional globe-trotter, I simply canNOT get the hang of snapping a decent (or, indecent) picture! Plus, if I took the pictures, then I wouldn't be IN them, now would I?!?! (duh.)

ALL of the photos you see on my blog have been taken by one of my awesome Chaperons, or my trusty Blog-Mistress (who also is responsible for ~~making up stuff~~ penning the adventures that go along with my photos.)

So I'd like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my cups to Tripbase for the honor of this award, and give a couple of great big Double-D WOO-HOO's to ALL of my Chaperons for your fantastic support ~ if it weren't for ya'll, I'd never have gotten very far!...or had any decent (or indecent) pictures to show for it!

As for my Blog-Mistress......she can go get her own dang award!

Actually, she did.
