Build A Bra

I recently went to Intimacy, a lingerie store at Phipps. I'm sure you've heard me talk this place up, but I wanted to get this story in for the record...

I was planning on going for a while, I wanted to wait until after Christmas so I'd have some extra cash, as the bras there are super high-end and you get support (heh, I kill myself with the puns, I swear) from a bra-fitting specialist. My friend Addie and I went together and made it a whole girl-day experience by finishing our bra shopping with a glass of champagne at The Grape. I mean, shopping is hard on a girl, you need some sustenance!

A couple days later I was getting dressed and Salem walked into my bedroom.
"Hey mom, is that a new bra?"
me: "Yes it is, it's really nice and pretty, huh? It was custom fitted just for me!"
her: "Wow! Did you go to 'Build A Bra'?"

I laughed so hard I had to sit down. For those of you who may not have kids, Build A Bear is a place where you customize your own Teddy Bear. It makes perfect sense for a 5-year-old to equate a custom bra fitting with creating your own bear. Too Funny.

Addendum: At the time of this post, I had no idea that there was an iCarly episode with references to 'Build a Bra'. I have been referred to as 'stupid' by some readers within my comments section. Here is my response to my haters or should I say "Folks with a negative opinion" on this post:

"On the subject of stupid, you failed to read the previous posts to find you're not so clever yourself. I know you must engross yourself in tween television in order to catch that comedy "bit", but I, like most adults, find an interest in programming geared to a more mature audience."

  1. Its an iCarly reference... when a woman's TV remotes are stolen from her house and she is recounting why she wasn't there she says "Well, I was a build-a-bra (where I built the most lovely bra)"...

  2. Did you have to recite a pledge?
    "I promise to hand-wash you in Woolite, and never, ever put you through a washing machine."
