I get to be part of it, too!

Manda, as I understand it when you go up/down a band size the cup changes so 34C/30DD are functionally equivalent, right? Is your upper torso 30 or 34 inches around without boobage? I am guessing that it is 34 because you say that is your actual measurement, if so then wtf is that webpage doing giving out shitty advice?
So anyway, why is there so much agro argument in here? I can understand a little bit of back and forth, but biting each others' heads off is uncool. Fashion isn't exactly black & white, and some of the people trying to pass themselves off as some kind of fashionistas in here are pissing me off because in my view some of their fashion choices are ridiculous. But then again I find most of the fashion that is seemingly popular at the moment all sorts of atrocious, so it shouldn't be a surprise to me. Here is a small list of my opinions on current fashion trends here in Sydney so that you may observe perhaps how out of touch or whatever I am:
- Neon anything is awful. It really only works on ridiculously good-looking people, and even then it's more a case of "despite the ..." than "due to the ..."
- Tights worn without some kind of actual pants/skirt over the top makes you look like you forgot part of your clothing before rushing out the door or perhaps maybe an actress from a local playhouse that is currently on a short break and just needs to grab a coffee before heading back to perform again
- Tight jeans work on slim people and that's about it. Please do not wear them if you are a larger lad/lass, they are not "slimming" as some would have you believe, they make you look like Tweedledum/dee
- At first I didn't overly like the knee-high socks with a short shorts dealio (as opposed to skirt) people are seeming to dig at the moment, but then I went to Japan where basically every girl and her sister is wearing them and I guess it's grown on me due to massive exposure.
- If you wear a large, oversized tshirt with huge words on it you need to realise that that was uncool about two years ago (here, at least) when it first re-emerged from a terrible slumber, blinking and rubbing its eyes, wondering where the 80s went and if anyone maybe has a copy of the latest WHAM! cassette they could dub.
- The massively busy patterned hoodies/tees are kind of growing on me because I like the designs on some of them, but I realise that I am far too old and unhip to wear them without looking like that guy.
- What is with these shoes that look like shiny plastic? Like tiny cut-off gumboots re-molded into shoes? Like Duplo toys upsized for people? They are normally adorned with some kind of neon too, which I've already mentioned is not high on my list of likes.
- High-waisted anything is a highly questionable fashion choice. High-waisted pants are old lady pants. Mom jeans are pretty universally fucking awful.
- Suspenders? Really? You are going outdoors wearing suspenders? Huh.
As I say though, that's all just my opinion. I'm sure that some of you may disagree with any/all of it. I am hopeful that some of the fashion from Tokyo will come over here soon, because they are getting back into distressed/dirty denim instead of this "solid block of colour that makes your legs look like they are made out of play-do" bullshit that's been around here for the last few years.

Is that a picture of your father on your shirt David? because it looks like you, except older, and with a mustache.
