what did you just say?

OK, guys. Don’t get excited. This one if for the ladies.

This week, I had my first professional bra fitting and it was very exciting. I heard about this new place, Intimacy, that opened recently in the Copley Square Mall. I had been meaning to check it out for months but was a little hesitant due to the location of the store. See, it’s right between Barney’s New York and Christian Dior so I fully expected the staff to be all snooty. Of course they would laugh at my boobs and my Target bra and I just wasn’t sure I wanted to subject myself to that ridicule. But I seriously needed a new bra so I bit the bullet and headed over during lunch the other day. And guess what? It was fantastic! These guys are serious pros and the entire staff was incredibly nice and helpful. I filled out a short questionnaire (one one of the questions was ‘do you think a bra can change your life’) and was then led to a lovely and spacious dressing room with Ebony, my own personal specialist. On the way she explained that they don’t use tape measures. Huh? We get to the room and she basically said ‘show me what you got’, so I did. And she didn’t even laugh. I knew then we would be BFFs and she was going to take good care of me. She looked at my current bra and how it fit me. Then based on her assessment of how it fit me, she brought in an armful of bras – one size smaller and one cup size bigger than I currently had. I had my doubts as I tried that first one on but of course, she was right. We tried on a variety of styles, made some adjustments to the straps and I was a whole new woman. The “basic” bra was $69. More than I think I’ve ever spent on a bra, but it fit perfectly and I do wear them every day so I splurged and got one black and one beige. She did bring me a handful of the “fashion” bras to try on as well. Oh, they were pretty but I caught a glimpse of the $117 price tag and passed. This was my fav. I snapped a pic of me in it in the dressing room before Ebony took it away….
