.....which I realize is a scary line to be in, I thought I'd toss out a clothing/underware question. Would you at this time in your life wear a low cut dress AND a push up bra? Have you ever? Do you want to but don't? I know this is a lot to think about on a Sunday morning.

If I still had a smashing figure I would. Well, maybe a modified low-cut. Oh heck, probably not 'cause even if I had the figure to wear one and did, I'd embarrass my grandkids. Embarrassing their mothers was just fun, but not my dear grandchildren.

However, in the early 70's I had this very slinky, black velvet dress with a gold & rhinestone braid that decorated the neckline that plunged halfway to my belly button. Loved that dress! However, even in peak condition I just couldn't bare that much skin so I always wore it with a safety pin holding that deep "V" together about halfway up. But, I did wear it with a push up bra...straight from Fredricks of Hollywood...and that definitely put a bit of a strut in my swagger! You see, being one of those people that wasn't terribly blessed in the upper region because of the family gene pool I splashed around in, that clevage went right to my head! To this day I can always get my roommates attention by just casualing asking, "Do you remember that black velvet dress I used to have?" The man was a sucker for velvet! LOL! Hugs! Kay

in my whole life i have never ever had a slinky black dress nor exposed my bosoms,cause i had no bosoms to expose!!LOL but if i did then, i doubt i would have exposed them being that i was raised in a very prudish italian family where you never ever shown any parts of your body that would appeal to the opposite sex.now today if i had some bosoms,i probably still wouldnt let it all hang out cause i am still the same body shy repressed person i was back then!!but one day,yes one day if my hair ever gets that long,i will ride horseback, naked thru the streets of bay view and expose my whole body to the neighborhood.thank god my hair has never grown that long and i dont own a horse!!LOL ((hugs))mindy

Oh, good grief!! Forget push-up, I'd need industrial strength fork lifts!! Either that, or just fling them over my shoulders.

Kay, you were lucky. My gene pool was, well, zaftig comes to mind. At 13, I was in a 36C, for crying out loud! Can you imagine what it was like to have a figure like that, and have NOT A CLUE (I was really, truly naive)! No low cuts for me, I was too embarrassed about having "those things" until I was way into my 20's!! ROTFL

If I only knew then what I know now......

Kay,

Interesting question. have never been into low cut anything for regular attire. Was a gogo dancer at one time tho. You know the kind, fringe everywhere and an out of the way platform to dance on. Kind of like Goldie on Laugh In. Oops, really showing my age now, or maybe saw it in reruns. LOL Back then, pushup bra...no way. Would have looked like a chin rest. LOL

Hugs,

Rain

Interestingly enough dh and I just recently had this discussion. Think it came from seeing a woman in Vegas with a balcony that was right out there and filled to the max. She seemed to be defying laws of physics. I told him that I didn't like the idea of putting that much wiggly up that high anymore. Just seems dangerous to me. Somebody could put an eye out or worse! He seemed to think that my balcony would at least look better than the one my sisinlaw had going in her bride dress at 70 plus a few years ago. (Bless him!)lol If ya ever do do it, take a picture for posterity! Hugs, BB
