So today on my walk to the train I accidentally exposed myself to hundreds of people in Harlem. Once before one of my boobs accidentally popped out of my tank top while a friend was over and that was awkward, but he was a friend so it wasn’t too big a deal. This was an entirely different experience.
I have lost a fairly significant amount of weight over the last year but I am still wearing most of the same clothes. All the new clothes I bought are for the summer and my work frowns on capri pants and the like so I am still wearing my fall/winter clothes for work for a while yet. This means that my work clothes are quite big. So big, in fact that when a gust of wind blew it caught my shirt it acted like a parachute and pulled up over my face, exposing my breasts and my see through bra to the world. Well, to 125th street anyway. :o
So what is your embarrassing story for the day?

No embarrassing story today, but I so wish I’d been there to see that.
The is the age of mobile phone cameras. Did anyone get a snap?

I hope not! I did get a round of applause though.

_horrified laughter_ Oh wow. Well, it was applause. 😃
Hmm. I can’t say I have an embarrassing story for the day, either.

I don’t have any embarrassing experiences from today, but I do have a similar boob story to share. My friend worked at Cedar Point park in Sandusky, Ohio. I visited her and she got me into the park for free. The only problem was that she was working, so I had to go around the park by myself. On the roller coaster that goes straight up and then straight down, my right boob popped out of my tank top during the super-fast start. It wouldn’t have been too big of a deal, but, because I was alone, they sat me next to someone else who was riding the ride alone. He had somehow smuggled a digital camera (they made me stick my book I brought to read in lines in a locker, but they let him have his camera…grr) that would also work for short movies onto the ride. He used it to film himself riding the roller coaster, so there’s a decent chance that some random guy has a short film of my right boob on a roller coaster.

Mmmmm… boobies.
You made a whole lot of men have a happy day all by your lonesome; I wouldn’t sweat it.

I don’t get it.
first you pray to his noodley goodness for a man. then when you get touched by his noodley appendage in an attempt to attract a man, you start a thread complaining. :dubious:
Make up your mind.

Hmmm…I hadn’t thought about this as being a part of the FSM’s ultimate plan. Do you think this is His way of telling me that I should be flashing men regularly? 😉

There are a bunch of us getting together in Chicago both next Tuesday, and probably on the 31st.
You and the girls are invited.

Apropos of nothing in particular, the weather in Los Angles is nice this time of year.

They were a big hit in New York. Now you need to capitalize on this by taking them on a national tour.

Well, think about it. It’s not the **FSM** ’s noodley appendage she’s after; it’s the male homo sapiens variety of noodley appendage.
Well, not unless she’s kinky that way.
