30DD. They FIT!

Now ordering stuff off bravissimo website for trial...

:snerk: grabbed Lissy (who's wailing about being a 32e, but a very comfortable 32e), going 'oo, look, the purple one would look good on you', then glance up on hearing a 'hmm' that sounded a bit deep for either of us, and see two of the lads doing the thinky pose whilst staring at the webpage. 'Don't mind us. we think this is necessary and a serious subject too.'

of course, I have to be doing this on the morning after the Reasons to start the 'Open Source Swift Kick in the Balls Project', part the first. explodes. Many more people have been more articulate than me. Because we really *need* more objectification and being prized for our bodies, not our minds. Or to put it another way : your inability to get laid and social fuckwittery is not my issue to fix.

And yeah. I'm saying this as a costumer, someone who is pretty touchy feely, has no personal space and is a paid up member of the Seamstress Guild who runs around conventions wearing bugger all clothing. Of course, Seamstress Guild has been known to fine people for unlicensed oggling, let alone touching, which would result in swift elbow to the throat.

:deep breath: on a lighter note, Tosh is very upset about what Jack thinks the internet is for. Yes, [livejournal.com profile] snowballjane, another one to watch with your hand clamped over your mouth. While you double-click. (heather mutters about the original broadway cast being nowhere near as good as the london one.)

question for the americans. (yes, I've been reading too much Afterelton and out.com again...)

How many of your primetime/valued time slot presenters are gay? (this requires being out, not just suspected/open secret)

in the UK, most of the primetime presenters are comedians. And because they're high profile, articulate, quick and funny, they end up presenting a *lot* of stuff, including the one-off galas/festival coverage/etc, etc. Combine with relatively few channels and the ease of crossover between radio, tv, presenting, drama and comedy shows, and boy do you get saturation.

The current list of the out presenters :

Stephen Fry (QI, acting, _insert topical and comedy radio show_)
Graham Norton (_insert topical and comedy radio show_, anything on BBC that's a one-off like New Year quizzes, most BBC Saturday night variety shows, his own talk show)
Alan Carr (Friday Night Project)
Simon Amstell (Never Mind the Buzzcocks)
John Barrowman (slowly ramping up his presenting credits)
Sandi Toksvig (_insert topical and comedy radio shows_)
Derren Brown (Illusionist/hyponotist)
ETA:
Julian Clary (not as much as he used to, but talk shows, etc)
Paul O'Grady
John Sessions
Paul Gambaccini
Dale Winton (haven't seen him on tv for ages)
Michael Barrymore (rarely on tv these days)
A couple of the Dancing on Ice and Strictly Ballroom judges

Can't say much for news readers, since their sexuality *never* seems to be discussed - they're practically inviolate; the only time you hear anything about their sexuality is if they're on Desert island Discs and mention is made of their family (male) or get married/up the duff (female)

high profile comedians who aren't presenters : Mark Gatiss, Matt Lucas, James Dreyfuss (can't include Eddie Izzard because he's not a drag queen, he's a tranny.)

UK lot, yell if I've missed anyone.
