Free saggy boobies
This post is reproduced from a former blog that is dying a slow and painful death. It (the post, not the blog) was birthed on May 01, 2004.
I saw Courtney Love on The Late Night Show with David Letterman last night. Look, I know the boob-flashing incident occurred on March 17, but our TV networks here are slow, ok? So it only got here on May 1.
She wasn’t wearing a bra. (Duh. She flashed him, didn’t she?!) Made me wonder, what’s up with Western women and bralessness? We females are constantly told that we have to wear bras to give our breasts good support. Otherwise, we’re told, the perky things will start to wilt. Or something like that.
But Western women tend to love going braless. At least, that’s my personal observation. I live in an Asian country and female Western tourists are more often than not seen walking around here with boobies bouncing free under a tank top. You can tell because every man’s eyes will be glued to those two nipples obviously poking against the blouse material. I know the weather’s hot… but still!
Don’t Western women worry about the possibility of sagging and losing that nice perky firmness? Oh wait, I forgot… plastic surgery is so common nowadays…
Bras are pretty common out here. Some women may go without them short-term, and we certainly have our naturalists who don’t believe in shaving or deodorant, either, but most are conventional.
Courtney Love is not your typical american woman.

Actually, it may be a cultural thing. Some Western women here may actually be wearing bras, yet they look like they’re not due to the so-called “evidence”. A Canadian living in Malaysia once blogged: “Back home, bras seem to serve one function: support. Here, they serve two functions: support and concealment.” Women here always wear bras with padding. It’s considered immodest if the outline of the nipple can be seen through your clothes.

Ahh.
Here, they wear bras that both support and show off the nipple. That way, adult women can pretend to be 16 again.
