Yesterday my husband and I were doing some shopping at Costco. We had our nine year old son with us, and we were just wandering around, picking up stuff. I noticed the crowded aisle in front of us kind of parting like the red sea, so I was wondering what as going on....
There was an attractive woman, probably mid-thirties or so, with very, very, very large breasts pushing a stroller with a baby in a carrier on top. Now, the thing that made this such a spectacle wasn't just that she was well endowed, it was that practically her entire breasts were exposed. Not just a lot of cleavage in the front, but a lot of "side boob" action. She had on a sundress that looked like a pool coverup, with a strappy top and a racer back....very cute, but it was so revealing that if you saw her from the front, you saw either side of her breasts, and from the side, you saw almost the whole breast. She could not have been wearing a bra.
I am not trying to cast aspersions on her character, or anything like that.....but when I see women dressed this way, it gets me to thinking.......what were THEY thinking, especially when they are out alone in public with their children. As you can imagine, men were staring with their mouths wide open......it even caught my son's attention, and I had to remind him not to stare.
I don't think there is any way she could not have known that she was showing 75% of her breasts in that outfit...so she had to know, and she also had to know that people, especially men, were going to be fixated on the boobs. Isn't that kind of scary to them?
That's the part I don't get - when I am out with my son I try NOT to wear things that are going to attract tons of attention from strange men, especially when my husband isn't with me. I would be reluctant to wear something that was so suggestive if I were out alone with my son, because I'd feel like it was putting us both at risk for attention from the wrong kind of person, you know? Even my husband said he'd never want me going out alone in something like that, he said he'd be really uncomfortable with me revealing so much. I think if you are going to a club for a night on the town, great, go all out.....but shopping at Costco in Gilbert? Too much. Maybe I'm turning into a prude in my old age, but I was nervous for her.
Another thing I don't get.....sometimes when you see ladies that wear super revelaing tops, they seem annoyed by all the attention..........and I wonder what they expect when they wear tops that expose a lot of their breasts.....especially when they are surgically enhanced. If I wore a pair of super short shorts a la Daisy Duke, I'd expect people would be looking at my butt!
I watched this show on the BBC channel called "my big breasts and me" about these three British girls with naturally enormous breasts, and all the problems they face. I felt for them, because they seemed to feel it was a burden, and did everything they could to downplay their chest size......and yet there are so many women going for that look.
I agree with you on this
I agree with you on this topic. I am well endowed myself and all throughout high school and even now my breasts have always been the attention getter. I never wear anything revealing because I know what attention it will cause and it makes me uncomfortable. I don't understand why women wear stuff that they know will attract such attention. They must want the attention, I assume.

Oh man I know just who you
Oh man I know just who you are talking about.
She came into a place were I worked temporarily in the spring. It was a print store and she came in to get a copy of her driver’s license and she just had the hugest man made chest and we (all ladies) just could not stop staring. She came in at 9am and looked like she was going to a club. She was very pretty, but man cover up.
I am no prude either, but there is a time and a place completely!
I am on the other end of the scale as far as man made boobs go. I had mine reduced from an "H" to a "D" 3 years ago. My doctor took off 3 & 3 1/4 lbs off each side! I couldn't be happier with the way I look now. I wish I had the channel that you have. I'd like to watch about those ladies. I always tried to play down my chest. I had to wear 2 bras not just to work out but to keep them from moving all over the place. From the time I was 13 I was teased and tormented about the size of my chest. By kids and adults! A man once commented on my good looking chest and he was married, a father and a member of my church that I saw one time at a grocery store! Kinda like when you have a pregnant belly people just felt it was their right to say "man you've got big a big chest" or something sexual from guys.

I know - that's why I don't
I know - that's why I don't understand the perspective of women like that....I am between a b and c, and there have been times where I have been uncomfortable with the amount of attention paid to my lil' ol boobs.......where I have wanted to say "hey, I am up here, dammit, they are not going to talk to you"...........so I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to have extremely large boobs.
One time there was a creepy dude following my son and I around a movie rental place....I was wearing business clothes, so I looked nice...a dress and heels...it was after work. It made me think about how maybe the way I look could make us a target for the wrong kind of attention. I try to dress down for outings with him - little to no makeup, nothing attention getting.
Ewwwwwww. I don't
Ewwwwwww. I don't understand the whole: "I must show you all my cleavage" thing at all...much less being barely clothed. I hope this trend of 4 inches of cleavage will go the way of the leg warmers and shoulder pads...but somehow I doubt it.
I think there was actually
I think there was actually more of the "side boob" than the cleavage, and that's what made it so eye catching, because it was pretty close to seeing her entire breast, you could see the whole bottom of it from the side,too......I think if she would have made a sudden move to the side, it would have been all out there. Even I had to mentally slap myself across the face and think "don't look, that's rude"......it just drew you in!
I am guessing they were impants.....I don't think natural breasts that are that large are so buoyant. In about five or six years she' going to be a fan favorite among the fathers at her child's school if she keeps dressing that way, lol....but how embarassing if she has a son....boys hate other men looking at their mothers that way.
That is pretty extreme, even
That is pretty extreme, even for this town. Because of the hot weather, I assume, we see alot of women braless wearing strappy tops and short shorts. It really is kind of cheap looking. She really must be an exhibitionist,with that much boob revealed. Some women really do like the attention. Most 'normal' women wouldn't. What really gets me is all the women who wear low cut tops that show cleavage in the work place. That is really strange, why do so many women/girls think they need to dress that way at work, unless they really are trying to turn some guy on? As for dressing that way at clubs, well, where ever you dress that way, you're going to get sexual attention from men, so if it's at a club or elsewhere, I hope women actually are aware of that. I think most women are aware, and they just like it. They would have to be so dumb not to know that is the kind of attention they will get. I just don't even believe them if they say they aren't doing it for attention.

As a women with very large
As a women with very large (DD) non man made breast I take total offense to women who wear these items. I too am very cautious about what I wear with just me and my kids and on a night out with either my SO or my friends I make sure my outfit choice is cute but tasteful. Some women can't stand not having all eyes on them and unfortunately they are asking for problems (let's be realist, some guy is going to try and do something to someone baring it all over me who's not). Very sad that people need attention this much. I hope for her babies sake that she learns the art of covering up before daycare, preschool and school.

I once had large breasts - I
I once had large breasts - I hated them so much that I had mine reduced (a pound each) and my insurance covered it.
I used to get 'bassett hounds' drooling all over them. They would never talk to me in the face, they would talk to them. It was awful!
I used to had to wear TWO bras when I did equestrian competitions or jogging...
To this day, I love what I have now - C cup.
I never understood and still don't understand these women that Katy1999 is referring to. Just disgusting...

yikes!! I think some women
yikes!! I think some women like the attention they get when they go out like this. I wouldn't! I would be very uncomfortable.
I have seen "my big breasts and me" on BBC. I was so surprised to hear the doctor say that a breast reduction is harder than enhancements. But it makes sense.

I agree too. I don't think
I agree too. I don't think there is a time and a place to look that way at all ever, but especially not at Costco. I also wonder why women think that kind of attention is good attention...especially when they are fake.

Oh my goodness I guess this
Oh my goodness I guess this is everywhere lol! I just moved here from NY When I used to pick up my kids from school I would go in my sweats w/ my hair in a ponytail then there would be moms w/stiletto pumps and B&B shirts (belly& boob lol). The best is when I would see these same moms at a dinner or parent outing where I would be dressed up, no sweats w/my hair done & makeup they would be so surprised and scream oh my you look beautiul you really clean up well. I would never judge and these are great women but I always resented when they said those things!! Its nice to know I'm not alone.
What a shame that this
What a shame that this woman feels she to expose herself to get attention. What kind of a message is she sending to her kids? Especially if she has a little girl? I hope she tones it down before her kids start school. Can you imagine how embarrassed her kids will be having a mom like that?

Oh gosh, I can't stand this
Oh gosh, I can't stand this either. It's everywhere and I wonder the same thing - what are these women thinking!?! I imagine that they have low self esteem and are desperate for any kind of validation.
I actually took a CPR class last week and the teacher's 21 yr old daughter was helping in the class. She was wearing one of those, spagetti string, v cut, lacy tops that I swear was actually meant to be lingerie! AND, come on! She was doing CPR in front of a class!
If you MUST show yourself off, then wear a form fitting top and leave something to the imagination! Do those women REALLY BELIEVE that when we stare, it's because we think that they look good or are jealous, when we are really thinking that they look like tramps????? I've seen women who are 100 pounds overweight wearing skimpy stuff too!
But, then again, no one seems to bat an eye at the new fish-net stocking/short leather jacket Barbie. And we wonder why girls grow up to think that flaunting their bodies is appropriate. That stuff is great - in private with my husband!

I guess you can find everything in bulk at Costco! (Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;-) )
I guess we could walk up to 'breast-on-display' mom and say: "oh, are you breastfeeding?" "No, why do you ask?" "Well, I thought maybe you had been breastfeeding and then forgot to cover up again. Sorry, my mistake!"
I know that sounds catty, but hey...why should we (and our children) be subjected to somebody else's breasts hanging all out?? If a man showed his private parts, he'd be arrested.

I completely agree with
I completely agree with you.
I had a friend in high school who loved to show off her cleavage. She had very large breasts and I think she considered it her best asset. It always made me feel so uncomfortable to see guys just staring at her. She didn’t care, but it bugged me like crazy. Mostly because I knew she was such a sweetheart and no one could get past her “knockers”.

I also swear your thong lady is following me around! Everywhere I turn: moms at school, the lady at the grocery store, the park, the bouncy house places.
Come on!
And speaking as a former huge boob girl and now a medium boob girl from the sounds of it this was no case of can't find something cool to wear. This sounds like asking to be looked at.

Hey, and while we're at it...let's talk about 'thong lady!"
You know the one...she bends down to look at something in the store and your kids are staring at her a** and thong sticking out of her low-riding pants!!
I hate that!
As a woman with supersize
As a woman with supersize breasts myself, I feel sooo bad for women like the one you mentioned. It's hard to find an outfit that's not too revealing, yet allowing us to remain cool while being tasteful.
I would love to wear a little strappy sundress. But I can't, without looking like a nursing water buffalo. Plus, most little straps are a tenth of the size of my bra strap... I just can't see myself wearing a teeny cami over my industrial strength Bali...
It's really hard for gals like us. If we wear anything that's a little low-cut, everything hangs out, but if I wear anything that's too high up in the neck - I just look fat.
My compromise is to wear v-necks that aren't too low, or scoop cut necklines - deep square ones work well too.
Oh well. At least my big chest balances out my big bottom :)
Its obvious this woman does
Its obvious this woman does not respect her body or have any respect for anyone around her, such as children or elderly.

This is all cracking me
This is all cracking me up...I have never seen such a variety of venacular that all says "Big Boobs." I guess I used to be considered 'big' once upon a time, (in high school/20's maybe), but that was before silicone came on the scene...between a C and a D isn't really big anymore.
I wear v-necks, (not low ones) but am always pressing my shirt against my chest if I have to bend down to sign something...I don't want to give anybody a swinging view, even if I'm not big! ;-)
Yikes! No, I don't think you
Yikes! No, I don't think you are a prude. There is a time and place for everything and Costco is not it. You should have seen the girls out in Scottsdale for all the superbowl parties. Holy silicone Batman. Talk about eye fulls. Remember how cold it was then too?
Anyway, I find it very sad that these women choose to not give themselves credit for other assets that they may have. My girls will not be dressing in daisy dukes and high heels. That seems to be the trend I see these high school girls wearing. Where does this come from? Yegads!!

I can not understand why
I can not understand why someone would want to wear something like that out in public, but I am not surprised. When we first were checking out AZ before our move we had an experience I will never forget. We were in a Starbucks waiting for our drinks when a woman wearing a very revealing top started talking to another woman about her twins and when she had them done. She stood to the side and was showing the woman her chest and cupping her breasts. They continued to talk about it and the one lady proudly announced that she was so enjoying buying a whole new more revealing wardrobe and that she loved the attention she was getting. I was amazed.
I tried to ignore the conversation but believe me it was quite a spectacle. I thought the kids had not noticed until we got to the car and one of the boys asked me where the twins were that the lady kept talking about. It was hard not to start laughing when I had to explain what was going on.
