Super Sized For Your Pleasure!
Ok, maybe not specifically your pleasure. Everyone likes something different and that's true if you are the user, admirerer, or owner. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I'm talking about America's average bra size. You think I kid? Time Magazine says so, and that's good enough for me. They're not always accurate, but they are within acceptible tollerance. Plus my own eyes give me ancidotal evidence. Basically America went from a 34B to a 36C.
It should be noted that we're talking about bra sizes and not what fills them. That's another entry I haven't worked up the courage to hit publish on yet. By the way, any other bloggers out there write stuff they just can't click "publish" on? There are probably several reasons working in concert for this sudden "growth". I am sure part of it is the fast food lifestyle, we're all packing on the pounds and the ladies have a garmet designed to support some of them. Also, it's hard to get good advice about something that is so often considered an "unmentionable". So maybe because of Oprah, maybe because of the internet, whatever reason, women are becomming more willing to talk about their boob slings using scientific method to come up with a proper good fit.
Me, I'm not there yet. Yes, there have been times I have really wanted to walk up to the stranger on the street and politely mention that her bra doesn't fit so she has the quad boob thing happening. Rarely, but occasionally I witness empty bra syndrom where due to its not being filled one cup colapses. Talk about sunken chest! But I will never approach these women. One, I am shy about that stuff, and two not even my own wife will tell me when my zipper's fallen down on the job. At least in your case you can see your own fit or lack there of in the mirror. Men's rooms aren't famous for the full length mirrors required for us to notice our zipper's down fall.
So to summerize, I am in support of the bra boom. Like batteries they are engineered in different specific sizes for different specific needs even though most of them deliver the same voltage. Lifted, separated, and equal to all others.

You are very cool, Woody. How many men write about bras rather than breasts? Anyway, you're also too young to die, so yes, please stick with your plan not to walk up to random women and tell them their bras don't fit right...
By the way, my moms group recently went to a park. There, a nice dad played with his kids on the playground. His fly was down the whole time. One of my friends did tell him to zip it (politely). Had he turned to her and said, "Yeah, well your bra doesn't fit..." this would not have had the same effect.
