Boobs on a Wire (aka, BOAW)
Ta Ta Tamer (aka, TTT)
Lululemon has a new underwire bra out - the Boobs on a Wire. As someone who prefers an underwire bra it looks promising but I can't say I like the name. It'll be even more embarrassing asking for this than for a Ta Ta Tamer. "Hi, is the Boobs on a Wire in yet?" The image the name inspires is rather painful, too. From this point on I will refer to it as the BOAW. I wonder whether the 38DD will be as elusive to find in the BOAW as it is in the TTT. I'm not really a 38DD but the Lululemon bra band seems to run a size small compared to my DKNY and Champion Powerback bras.
The BOAW certainly looks like it has a more natural shape than the TTT. My boobs have a such a weird shape in the TTT - like half coconuts on my chest - and they sit up so high it's like they reside under my chin. Anyway, I look forward to trying this on. I'm excited at the thought of a really supportive bra in colors that match my clothes. Shivers!

OT but I found a picture of the Fireside hoody on facebook with the color labelled as "Heathered Amazon":

Whatever it's called, I like it... and some prints would be nice... ;)
Also off comment I saw a girl while out for a run tonight and she was wearing a fireside in olive green!
Interesting!
BOAW - I'll give it a try. The TTT never worked for me - way too much fabric and made my chest look weird.
OT - but do you think there will be a loot upload this holiday weekend? Seems to me the last big loot was on Canada Day/July 4th weekend. Also I recall a big one on Christmas '09. If there is more loot, I wonder what will be put in there. Some Strides or remixes? Lots of those it seems no one is buying...
Boobs on a Wire brings up strange images of S&M...I can just imagine the "brainstorming" session for that one.
Will definitely try it, especially if the straps can be worn two ways. However that name is just bad...
Sounds like a man approved that name
I wish Lulu would make something like this for those of us with smaller busts. I would love a supportive bra that wasn't a racer back (or where the straps could be worn both ways) - as it is I always pass on cute tanks like the Pep Tank and the Sunrise Tank because every sports bra I own is racer back and I don't like the look of a racer back under a non-racer tank.
BOAW looks super cute, functional, & great on the straps being able to be worn both ways, but the named...OH MY STARS!!! Are they nuts?????!! I look forward to seeing it & trying it, but to me, it will be the bra with no name, just the "new bra", when I ask for it....
ChiRunner, the TTT comes in tiny sizes too. It's always on the sale rack at my local store (unlike the big sizes they don't make enough of).
