Thought I'd talk about girly things today. My friend Sonja gave me this wonderful padded pink bra for Christmas. The great thing about girlfriends is that they often buy you things you would never think of buying for yourself, either because it wouldn't occur to you or you simply wouldn't dare. For me, well... pink! and then padded.........! Shriek!!! Never!! The straps are removable so you can wear it as a boob tube (remember those?) or put other funky straps on, like the diamante ones she gave me with the bra.

So yesterday I dare to wear it. Guess what? It fits like it was moulded on my body. It feels fabulous and I think it makes me look like I have a rack of note. Yesterday was spent feeling very boob conscious. I kept looking down and admiring the "shelf"!

It really is quite simply the best bra I have ever worn. It even has pretty lace detail on the sides and pink satin trim. I didn't want to take it off last night, wished I could sleep in it.

So there you have it I'm a convert, I shall now be shopping for pretty padded bras in all colours and varieties.

Thank you Sonja.
