> [@Lamia](#): > > When I was in high school I was playing a sort of Marilyn Monroe-esque bimbo character in a school play, and being a late bloomer in the chest department I wanted a little help filling out my costume. We wound up cutting some prop rocks (made of some sort of spongy foam) into the appropriate shapes. > > I was fully expecting to get a big laugh when I walked out onstage, since I was a skinny teen and my “boulders” appeared to be fully twice their natural size. I was a bit surprised not to hear even a giggle, and later learned that a number of people in the audience had actually been thinking “Wow, I had no idea Lamia was so stacked!” (This being the '90s I normally wore XL t-shirts, so I suppose my real figure was something of a mystery to others.) Anyway, the effect was apparently pretty realistic! I really, truly, wanted a “Hello, **Lamia** ”! event. ---

Would jello work? I’d let it cool a bit and then just as it starts to set, use a funnel to pour into balloons. Tie knot and refrigerate? ---

Awesome combination of OP topic and handle. Zebra seeks Z bra. Now that’s a big girl. (Apologies to _Laugh In_) ---

My favorite fake boob prop was a pair of stripper pasties with small motors that would spin the tassels. We had two stripper characters, one who spun her pasties the old fashioned way, and an, old, fat, character who had the motorized one. The young one would bounce all around in the befuddled male character’s face and make the pasties go, then everyone would turn to the old one, who silently reached up and pressed the button on the bra to make them spin. It always got a huge laugh. Anyway, go Nerf if at all possible. Use the spray foam insulation only if absolutely necessary. It won’t move realistically at all, and it doesn’t have much strength under stress of movement. The 1/2 or 3/4 of a Nerf football in each bra, liberally glued into the cup of the outer bra, should hold up better. Enjoy, Steven ---

**Lasciel** has great advice up there, but I wanted to let you know that Victoria’s Secret sells a bra called like Miraculous or something that is essentially fake boobs. It’s mostly foam and makes you look 2 cup sizes bigger. With that and **Lasciel’s** idea, you could get some pretty stupendous proportions fairly easily, I would think. ---

Just in case anyone is interested, the designer who made the fake stripper outfit for us uploaded a video of the motorized tassels in action, sans actress, to youtube. Enjoy, Steven ---

Soon I will post some photos of our results. We used several methods together. They’re fake, and they’re spectacular. If you are a NYC doper and want to see the show, PM me. ---

She is a lesbian and won’t have sex with me, which really sucks because she is hot, and very flexible. (and she’s a cool person too) If she’s so good, can’t she fake big boobs? ---

Not bad. The look is she bought a dress too small for her bosom and it’s cutting them in half, which is a look some women go for. I’ve never liked the muffin-topped-tittie look myself, but for an up close and personal performance, especially showing a lot of actual cleavage, it was a good choice. Enjoy, Steven ---
