There is an actual sports mascot known as the [Nookie Monster](http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4049697). True Fact. (link sfw).

Yeah, well, we’ll know the Apocalypse is upon us when Sesame Street introduces a Snooki Monster. I mean, they’re right across the Hudson!

DD? I doubt it. My ex-GF was better endowed than Katy and she wore a D (okay, sometimes it did seem a bit tight on her).

Katy Perry is a very thin woman. I’m not going to sit here and explain how band size and cup size are correlated if you don’t know already, but suffice to say, because she’s so thin, she’s probably a DD. My tits are bigger than Katy’s and I only wear a D, but I’m also a lot wider than she is.

I’ve had my hands on a lot of tits in my day, and I’d be very surprised if she was a DD.

I’d let her prove it to me, though.

Didja see the skit she did on Saturday Night Live: [Katy Perry On SNL: Cleavage & An Elmo Shirt (VIDEO, PICTURES) | HuffPost Entertainment](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/26/katy-perry-on-snl-cleavag_n_739822.html)

That’s quite a shirt, quite a shirt…

How many bras have you fitted and purchased in your day? Just curious. Breast size in women is sort of like height in men-- it tends to get adjusted a bit when trying to impress others— so if your experience is limited to the ladies you’ve groped, that may not be an accurate representation. Women with circus tits often times to try say they are smaller than they are, women with ant bites try to say they are bigger than they are. And like I hinted at previously- a 28 DD is not the same cup size as a 44 DD.

I can’t find a link to the actual interview, but she claimed to wear a 34 DD on Howard Stern in April of 2008 [(Cite from a Stern Radio fansite)](http://end-of-radio.com/the-howard-stern-show/katy-perry-on-the-howard-stern-show/)

I see no reason to not believe her. 34 is still a thinner band size- most average, chubby to fat women probably wear a 38 and up. As someone who buys bras and wears them, I can buy a 38 DD, a 40 D, or a 42 C. Granted, the middle one fits the best, but I have bras in all of those sizes (sometimes you want a cute bra from Fredrick’s of Hollywood and you’ve got to get the 38 DD!).

No one mentioned that Elmo is **completely bare-assed naked**!

Pictures would help clarify this point;)

Well, as Russell Brand (rustyrockets) posted on twitter:  
@katyperry Today’s Sesame Street will NOT be brought to you by the number 34 or the letter D.

Sesame Street has always been big on the Parental Bonus. The idea is to give the parents a laugh every once in a while, while still being silly enough for the kids.

A few cites on her bra size

[32D in UK size](http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_Katy_Perry%27s_measurements)

While Russel Brand, her fiancee, said [34 D](http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2010/09/25/russell-brand-tweeted-katy-perry-s-bra-size-115875-22586081/)

She herself said she was a [DD on Howard Stern August 21, 2008](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kegxbpabgw4&p=08BD4F8B0117F1A9&playnext=1&index=10) (8 mins in). I’m going to believe her over [wiki.answers.com](http://wiki.answers.com) (wrought with speculation that includes comparing some anonymous poster’s tits to Katy’s). She says she is a 32 DD, which is, just about, a 34 D. Just like it’s a 30 E. Or a 36 C. Just like I can wear a 38 DD, 40 D, or 42 C. Doesn’t change the fact that one of those three fits me better than the rest and for her, it sounds like that’s 32DD. Again, the girl is little around, so it’s not that big of a stretch-- she’s far thinner than the average American girl walking down the street (volumewise 38 DD \> 32 DD …by a vast amount).

And I don’t get how Russel’s Tweet (which was posted earlier) shows she’s a D and not a DD. Since “Double D” isn’t exactly a letter, it would have been hard for him to make that joke in the same context, but since DD is. . . two Ds. . . his Tweet doesn’t really clarify if she’s a D or a double D.

I doubt that Sesame Street’s target audience would notice or even care. This whole fuss left me bemused because I had just watched a French family film (rated in France the equivalent of what would be a “G” in the US). In one scene, two brothers were playing outside completely naked, and in another scene, the mother was breastfeeding with her breasts visible to the audience.

I was all set to make a snarky comment about how we’re supposed to fight ignorance here rather than simply point it out, but then you had to go and give an actual explanation downthread… so, yes, ignorance fought, and I appreciate it.
