Difference btwn BIKINI TOP and a BRA?
Background: 21/F straight, not a parent, never married/engaged, and no STDs :-) I grew upin a home where we had a pool and a boat. Bikinis were worn almost daily in the spring and summer, whether it was my bikini top covered with a t-shirt allowing the silhouette of my bikini (I like to show off a bit what can I say hehe) or just my bikini top out with cute, stylish colors and prints. Anyway, I would even wear my bikini top with no shirt around the house, doing yard/house work, and when i would make a quick run to the store or somwthing. Yes I have the body for it b/c I workout 4 days/wk and eat right, so I feel I have earned the right to wear clothes like that ya know? Back to the topic...
My Scenario: I play volleyball and have since I was a little girl. I usually wear the standard spandex sports bra-type top with my compression boyshort/hiphugger type bottoms. Well I went to a tournament at the state capital on the huge green grass lawn they have. I was running late throughout the day (errands) and so I figured I would change in my car when I got there. This was no big deal as I change in my car frequently (busy lifestyle, what can I say lol). Well, today I had grabbed the wrong bag before I left my place. My bag had none of my tourney stuff: water bottles, v-ball clothes, practice balls, etc. So I had on a mini skirt with a nice baggy-type t-shirt and wedges (I love shoes). Fortunately for me, I am a typical female and found some clothes in my trunk which i was happy about...I found a pair of my short shorts towear, but nothing for a top. I can't wear my baggy t-shirt because it would hold me back from palying hardcore. So I slipped on my short shorts and off came the shirt. Luckily, it was not a super-sexy bra day as I was just wearing my plain nude-color Victoria Secret t-shirt bra which literally looks like a bikini anyway. I played it off and wore my bra proudly and no one said anything, but some of the women there were obviously making faces at me about it. blah blah blah
Some of my girlfriends showed up about half way through the tourney and they were freaking out cause I was wearing my bra...like OMG right? Later that night, my girlfriends had come over with me to my parents house and they were talking about the tourney with my Dad, Mom, and my brother and sister. They said that I just wore my bra b/c i didn't have my sports bra top. My Dad and Mom freaked a bit until I calmed them down. My sister and brother were embarrassed and were worried that maybe some of their friends might have seen me in my bra and they might be teased at school for it or something.
Here is my thing....really, what is the difference between a bra and a bikini? A push-up bra is good for...yes pushing the breasts up and out whereas a bikini can do the same thing if you buy a push-up bikini top. A sports bra's purpose is self-explanatory (holding them in palce when active) whereas a bra really doesn't do that at all. Did I break some kind of moral code or something? A bikini top either ties at the neck and back (my favorite type) or they wear exactly like a bra...really other than the brighter "look at me" colors on a bikini and the "sexy" look of a push-up/lace/etc. bra, there really is no differenece. I don't know why girls use the "I don't have my bathing suit" excuse not to swim or layout...a bra is the same thing.
Am I way off base here or am I some kind of sexified girl that doesn't know where the line is that I shouldn't cross? Ladies, I guess guys too, what do you think about bras versus bikinis? Either of them okay in a pinch situation? Either of them to layout/swim? What about either of them on a drive to a convenience store quickey run? i am not saying wearing a bra or bikini is acceptable all the time, but int he instances a bikini is merited.
6 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoBra To Create Great Cleavage?
Maidenform Ultimate Push-Up Bra is awesome for cleavage creation :) They add two full cup sizes...which is totally amazing.
I am a 36A (on a good day) so what I did is I bought a 34A in this bra I mentioned then bought some breast enhancers from Target called Swimwear Breast Enhancers (they also have them at Kohls, Fred Meyer, etc). They were $5.99 for the pair and they added a full cup size. So now I am a 36A wearing a 34A that give a 34C look, then I pulled my breasts up and in as I inserted the breast enhancer. WOW! I cannot believe it! I have a 34D chest and my cleavage is my real breasts!
My friend is a 38, well he is a guy that crossdresses. He wears a 38A bra in this Maidenform Ultimate Push-up Bra giving him a 38C appearance. He uses the breast enhancers as well. his cleavage is not nearly as awesome as mine, but even he (a guy) has great cleavage. Maidenform bras are the only bra I buy other that Victoria Secret for those "special occasions".
I hope this helps.
5 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style1 decade agoWhat color tights do I wear with a white outer coat?
I bought this cute white outer button up coat with a waist belt. I want to wear my cute black pencil skirt with a grey tiered tank and black strappy heels. The top is a classy tiered tank with subtle shades of grey satin and lace tiers. What color tights would coordinate with this outfit? Do I match the coat or top?
I don't have another coat that I like so much, is the grey top a good idea with a white coat? Thanks so much for your help.

1 AnswerComputer Networking1 decade agoWhat bra adds the most cup sizes?
I want to find a bra that will make my 34A chest look like 34C or even better 34D? I want to add size not just lift, but lift is good too. I have heard of Maidenform offering a bra that adds 2 cup sizes and they look good, but is there anything better? My budget is about $25-40, is this possible? I am getting a breast augmentation inthe next year or so, but I want something in the mean time. And no, I don't want to buy mastectomy breast forms. Thx a bunch
3 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style1 decade agoSex with my Mom's boyfriend?
He is 38, ripped and toned and has been dating my Mom for only 2-1/2 months. They have sex (I know this because I can hear them) but they aren't very serious other than that. My mom dates other people, as they are not exclusive. I have accidentally seen him in his briefs when he went from the bathroom to my mom's room once and he is...well he has...he does not have to be self-conscious about what he is packing let's just say that. He knows I was looking at his...and he just smiled and apologized.
I know he is with my mom, but he is fine. I think the reason I am attracted to him, well want to be with him is because i know i shouldn't. What should I do?
