Nipples which point away from each other, which if they were eyes, could stare at opposite walls in a room. Mine are slightly crosseyed.

No, it is not that I want to know so much as it is the statement about you being far older than **KellyM** when you started transition. She was about 30 and you don’t look far older than that. But hers came into a full A within a year and by two she had barely Bs and now it they are full Bs.

[QUOTE=Auntbeast]  
The fist between the breasts thing is hilarious to me. My boobs fluctuate with weight/pregnancy, everywhere from an A to a HOLYSHITMYMILKCAMEIN DD, and everything in between. Never, ever would anyone other than Andre the Giant have a problem placing their fist there with no interference whatsoever.  
[/QUOTE]

The rule is, if you can put a fist between them without touching either one then they are probably fake.

That can’t be right. I am an A cup, and what boobage I do have is primarily under my armpits. The central part of my chest is quite literally flat - you can see my sternum quite clearly. You could lay your hand flat, sideways across my sternum and only just barely touch actual breast. (I’m not giving you permission to, I’m just saying it would be possible to do so.)

Translate: Fiver’s one of those people we hate for looking young. I look every bit my age, and it’s about 8 (IIRC) years younger than her.

I have the cohesive silicone ones (they’re like jello, not liquid) and I love them. Gingy felt them when they were new, before they’d softened up. They feel pretty much just like real boobs now (waaaay more real than the liquid silicone gel or the saline ones). I had a breast lift + implants as reconstructive surgery after losing 100+lbs and my real boobs turned into empty sacks of skin. The scars have almost totally faded now, too. I had it done in fall of 2004, btw, and I went to Brazil for my surgery (had other surgery done at the same time and it was way cheaper to do it that way). Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Mine, too. Opal must be exceedingly teeny. I’m 5’2" and weigh 107 and I’m bigger around than she is!
