I'm flat chested. I'm fine with this. I wish the bra companies were. For some reason, they seem to think the only bra wearers in the world are models. When I find bras that fit, I have a tendency to wear them til they fall apart and the ink disappears from the tag.
I don't know why it took me so long to search online for special sizes. It seems that I'm living on the wrong continent. Half the sites I found were British. Here's a list for those looking for AA or AAA bras:
FigLeaves.com (cheap shipping, free returns!)
Lula Lu
Bare Necessities
AA Lingerie
Know Knockers.co.uk
Dainty Lady.co.uk
Even then it's hit or miss about the fit. And some of them are so very plain. One day I'm going to give up and throw them all out and never look back.

According to my dad, my grandfather hung out with Jim Henson and Jimmy Dean.
Which, after hearing this, leads one to quote: ""I'm not Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim, He's Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim!"

Happy New Year!
For the first time since I can remember, we celebrated New Year's day. It was a fantastic family party. Mom's cousin had a picture of herself, my mother, and my two aunts that had been taken 42 years ago on New Year's eve, and wanted to do another one with everyone all grown up. So mom threw a party. We don't get to see that side of the family very often, so everyone was eager to see each other and catch up on life. Even my great-uncle Ralph and his wife Betty came! Betty is absolutely gorgeous, but painfully shy. I suppose with age she's mellowed out some, as she chatted with everyone and even asked to be introduced to mom's friend Joyce. And, as always, we tried not to stare too hard at Ralph. Karen probably put it best when she said: "He's got my daddy's twinkle in his eye." We all recognize it and miss it and want it back in my grandfather where it belongs. Mom got a fantastic picture of Ralph and my grandfather together They're both looking right at the camera. It was a nice start to a new year.
With my room being clean, I ended up conducting small tours of people who wanted to see it and my miniatures. Everyone loved it. (I got a ton of undeserved compliments tonight!) Then - I got a commission. My cousin wants me to make a clay character of one of his game characters - an Argonian from The Elder Scrolls. (he even offered money! I'd call him a geek, but I can't talk, since I have a clay figure of one of MY characters in a box somewhere) He sent me a bunch of photos immediately after he got home. No clothing or hair to deal with, as the whole thing will have to be done in clay. It's a lizard-man wearing armor. Should be an interesting challenge.
My first problem was baking the clay, I'd have to do it many many times to create the character, and that would take up a lot of oven time, and who really knows how safe polymer clay is? Another option was to buy a toaster oven, and those can be expensive. (at least, the one I wanted was!) As I was discussing my first doll commission (or should I say action figure?) with Mom, she started laughing. "Karen got one for Christmas! She didn't know what to do with another one, and asked me if I wanted it!" Is 11:30 too late to call an aunt? Apparently not. I now have a toaster oven.
I'm taking this as a sign to go ahead and make the little lizard guy.
