Back hamsters??

Ooopsadaisy · 25/04/2011 17:47

Sorry - confession time.

I have dark skin (for a white person - iyswim????? - I tan really easily and naturally), am a toned and sporty size 10 (with a flat stomach), always wear a supportive, discreet bra and live in strapless boob-tube t-shirts in summer.

Sorry. Blush

I agree that they don't suit everyone, but I do think they suit me.

Scuttles away in shame ......

noddyholder · 25/04/2011 17:49

I think they look good on some people. I have one but it is part of my 'garden only' collection

DuplicitousBitch · 25/04/2011 17:51

it is quite the thing to wear a brightly colour bra with a white boob tube round my way atm. i live near a beach so it is like some sort of unflattering clothes competition every summer

dickcheeseandthecrackers · 25/04/2011 17:59

They ming. Especially with tramp stamp on show too

MrsCampbellBlack · 25/04/2011 18:00

Saw someone in one earlier teamed with the chiffony pleated skirt that you love

Ooopsadaisy · 25/04/2011 18:04

I'm posting again to clear my name.

I don't wear a bright coloured bra with them.

I don't have a tramp stamp anywhere on my person.

I wouldn't be seen dead in any kind of skirt at any time. I wear them with jeans cut down to shorts of various lengths.

I own 5 of the offending articles.

1 red (plain)
1 black (plain)
1 black and grey (random pattern)
1 royal blue (plain)
1 emerald green (plain)

Sorry again.

TheGirlWhoIsBootilicious · 25/04/2011 18:11

I have one of those Bravissimo/Pepperberry hidden bra strapless tops from their past seasons summer collections.

I have nice shoulders and look loverly in it. Don't wear it unless on the beach/on holiday tho' as don't think it is quite the thing in town.

MrsCampbellBlack · 25/04/2011 18:49

Oops - sounds like you've got a pretty amazing figure so am sure look great in them.

However I do think they pull the boobs down at the front unless you are very perky.

AmIAPayne · 25/04/2011 19:05

Am fairly perky and have no tatts to show.

I have very nice shoulders

cyb · 25/04/2011 19:08

I want to hear more about noddy's garden collection

DuplicitousBitch · 25/04/2011 19:09

arf @ noddy slagging it about le jardin in boob tube and white jeans

TurtlesAreRetroRight · 25/04/2011 19:12

Linky link please. I have no idea what you're talking about. A boob tube? In t-shirt material?

I saw a young lady in The Range today in cropped jogging bottoms (but with tight elasticated bottom to them), halterneck crop top (eh?), dolce and gabanna sunglasses and ridiculous stiletto heels. Is this some kind of protest? Fancy dress? Uniform? DH held me back while I tried to ask.

Ooopsadaisy · 25/04/2011 19:19

MrsCampbellBlack - thank you for your understanding. I am aware that it all sounds a bit tacky but I have inherited wonderful genes body-wise (we are all as mad as a box of frogs though) and also am very sporty.

Boobs are not as perky as they once were. I have a rather wonderful strapless bra that enables me to wear these offending articles without bashing my knees as I walk. Grin.

Am also interested in noddy's Collection au Jardin.

Please tell .....

noddyholder · 25/04/2011 19:48

It is stuff i buy from primark that would never see the light of day in public. i buy it for 'gardening' but often choose hideous stuff just for the sake of it. Had a playsuit last year towelling Shock

cyb · 25/04/2011 19:59

Yes I have a booobtube cheesecloth dress

Wore to a parents evening (what was I thinking) and the puppies threatened to escape several times

noddyholder · 25/04/2011 20:00

Oh I have had it all obscene shorts also towelling visors boob tubes

cyb · 25/04/2011 20:01

nodders on the patio

noddyholder · 25/04/2011 20:02

I had those very clothes as a teenager inc boots I modelled myself on hot gossip much to may parents Hmm

Hassled · 25/04/2011 20:04

Oops - stop apologising :o. You sound like you can get away with them.

I want to know about the back hamsters - I can't picture it. You'd need a hairy back to get the full rodent effect wouldn't you?

pantaloons · 25/04/2011 20:06

Ha, this is the only time that being small of nork comes as an advantage. I have 2 boob tubes bandeau tops and they look alright as
a) I have no boobs and wear a strapless bra.
b) they are a kind of slouchy style rather than being spray on.
c) they are mainly worn in the garden to try and get rid of 55 different sets of strap marks!
