I want to be the “Hot Girl”…

Major NSV today…

So I have a love/hate (well, up until recently it was totally a hate relationship) with Victoria’s Secret.

I was always mad at Victoria’s Secret, because I think they sell really cute lingerie, and it seems that they have totally forgotten (or just dissed) the larger size women of our population. I even remember in college, being able to go into Vickie’s Secret and I could find and buy underwear in a size XL in the store. Somewhere along the way, they stopped selling XLs in the store, which was when I decided I was totally through with VS. When I went into full hater mode with VS, I decided that when I finally lost weight, they would NOT get my business because I didn’t think it was fair that they didn’t make lingerie for larger women (like Fredericks).

I caved today. *SIGH*.

So during my lunchbreak, I decided to take a little excursion into Victoria’s Secret. The associate that helped me was so nice and helpful. I’ve been guessing at my bra size for a while now, and I was guessing that I am a size 40DD, because all my 42DD’s are huge and gaping (which upsets me, because I spent A LOT of money on Torrid Bras, which I LOVE[or LOVED, past tense ]). Anyway, I hadn’t officially been measured, so she offered to measure me.

Drum roll please….

I am now officially a 40DD!!!!!! WHICH MEANS I CAN WEAR BRAS IN VICTORIA’S SECRET!!!!!

I ended up buying two of them (which fit GREAT!!!! They make me look nice and perky ) along with some flavored massage oil. I spent too much money but at this point, I feel like I deserve it.

I wonder if this makes me a sellout, though? I always said once I could fit their clothes again, that I wouldn’t shop there because big girls want to be cute too (and I am still a big girl, make no mistake)…and that they seem like they want nothing to do with the big girl demographic.

Does that make me a total and complete sell-out, now that I don’t have a reason to “hate” on them anymore?

And now, in other news…

I have a vacation planned Memorial Day weekend…a little fun and sun in Panama City, Florida. I guess it might be more than just “fun and sun” - initially I was supposed to be going with two friends, but they both backed out on me. I had then decided to go alone, so I could get away from Atlanta for a while, and just relax, cook out, have a few drinks on the beach, sleep late, etc.

Well, that changed two days ago…I’m not going alone anymore…my new found “friend” (the guy from my previous blog entry) is coming with me! I haven’t managed to scare him off and it’s officially been a month as of the 11th (and it’s so cute, he remembered!) - so I think that he and I will have a good time on this trip.

Wish me luck…I need it…
