Happy National Cleavage Day!
You’re thinking I’ve made this up, aren’t you? Well I haven’t made it up. Today is seriously National Cleavage Day.
I can understand why some would find this day to be very subjective and enforcing of the stereotypes of women as merely objects and not people. I can also understand how people would see this as a marketing ploy from Wonderbra. Sex sells and everybody likes a nice pair of ta-tas. My first reaction to today after reading about it was to stop and question. A day to celebrate cleavage? Well, who celebrates? Is it just where women flaunt their cleavage and men profit from the whole thing by being allowed to oogle shamelessly?
My final tought about today isn’t one of questioning. Today can be something fun shared by women. By celebrating the beauty of some glorious cleavage you are not being counter intuitive to the feminist movement. I think that by embracing your cleavage, you are embracing your femininity. There are so few things anymore that are feminine in a singular way. Natural beautiful breasts are one of those things. So here’s my tiny contribution to my support of today and it’s celebration of the feminine. My freckle-ridden, super pale cleavage for the whole world to see. Why not? I just announced to you all recently that I cry sometimes when I orgasm…..what are boundaries anyway?

Ok…this is my third time trying to post…I must not be a very good lesbian because I have known you over half my life and never noticed you had such wonderful cleavage…yum yum…LOL!!! There is this girl (around 28 or 30 yrs old) who comes in the bar. She had the most perfect cleavage I have ever seen. I am not a boob girl, but I can’t help but stare. Then I catch myself staring and try to look away bc I don’t want her to think I am a scary lesbian,LOL. But her cleavage is like a magnet to my eyes….it’s much too perfect. She has to wear some kind of bra that makes her boobs perfect or something.

Thanks nelle! And Aschlie, we should go to cafepress.com and make a t-shirt for you that says “I promise I’m not a scary lesbian. I just like your cleavage” and you can wear it to work. That would be so awesome.

And show your butthole day and celebrate pooping.
Tits are just tools to get the wrong kind of attention.. Do you want your guys staring at younger girls perfect tits all day???? Seriously?
