BREASTS!So did the title get your attention? Sorry, you won't find a bunch of links to bare naked breasts all over the place; that's not what this article is about. Actually, I need to give some personal history to this article which might help explain why I'm writing it. On January 8, I was involved in a bad car accident with a close friend of mine. We were driving down a major highway during a bad rainstorm. Suddenly, our car started hydroplaning and ended up flipping three times. We landed upside down and were trapped in the car till some truckers pulled over and got us out. Luckily (and obviously) we lived. Of course, not without a lot of bumps, bruises and other odd sores. Now, to get to the breast topic . . . Two days after the accident, I was doing an inspection for new bruises. To my horror, I found out that one of my breasts had turned completely black and blue. (The seatbelt that saved my life was what was responsible for that bruise.) Right there, I started crying my eyes out. I told a close male friend of mine about this. He couldn't understand why I was so upset. He saw it as just another bad bruise that happened to be on my breast. I'm sure most men would wonder why any woman would get so upset about that. Ask any woman, and most likely she can pick out at least one part of her body that she likes the most. For some, it is their breasts. Of course, for others their breasts are the one part of their body that they want to have changed. I don't think I've ever met a woman who didn't feel one way or another about her breasts. Either you love them, or you hate them. Breasts are all over the place, and its hard to not have an opinion about them. Don't believe me? Go to a newstand and look at the covers of some of the women magazines. Chances are that there will be some model on the cover who is doing a really good job of showing off her clevage. For many women, its not the size of her brain that matters, but the size of her breasts. Not only that, but there have been lots of recent developments in the field of bras. Now there is the "Wonder Bra" and the "Miracle Bra" all made in the hopes to give some women a little boost. Women spend thousands of dollars every year just to make sure their breasts look good. And it doesn't look like they are going to be cutting back in spending anytime soon.
