The Sounds of Cup Sizes
December 20, 2010
I was blown away by the cleverness of a recent Christmas ad by the lingerie manufacturer La Senza. They have seven models ranging from cup size A to G. They then assigned each model the musical note to match her cup size. Then, with each model lying down on what sort of look like piano keys – and of course scantily clad in La Senza lingerie– each sang her note to the tune "Deck the Halls." Appropriately called "The Cup Size Choir" this video went viral and has over a million hits on YouTube in less than a few days.
All I can say is "Wish I’d thought of it." Enjoy!

Kim Kardashian’s DD’s – Not!
October 28, 2010
She’s on the cover of the latest W Magazine nude. Then inside, Kim is nude but for silver spray paint all over her body. She has now left nothing to the imagination; Kim is standing full frontal and showing off her actual breasts. But then the article claims they’re the cup size of DD. Well, on that point, I disagree.
Being in the boob business, I deal with this all day. In my opinion, she’s a larger cup size than she is claiming in this article. What many may not know is that Kim is actually quite petite. She stands only 5 ft 2 inches. Her claim of having a band size of a 32 is therefore quite plausible. But her cup size is more like a DDD or even a DDDD. So, why not tell the truth?
Here’s my speculation. She’s claiming double D’s because it sounds better. Here’s a woman known for her hour-glass figure, yet even she doesn’t want to admit her true bra size. This is also one of the reasons why women are in the wrong size bras – they don’t like the sound of their real size. For example a 34G. It just doesn’t sound sexy. "Look at those E’s!" Anything more than a DD and it sounds like you have implants or are abnormal. The funny thing is that no one knows your bra size but you. And, the right size makes you look thinner and younger.
What a missed opportunity for full-figured women everywhere. Kim is willing to be photographed naked, yet can’t confess to her true bra size. It could have done so much to help larger cupped women feel more comfortable about their bra size. And, it could have gone a long way in educating men that there are cup sizes larger than a Double D… and they’re pretty terrific too.
