A Perfect Figure
June 23rd, 2010
It's 100 Word Challenge time again courtesy of Velvet Verbosity. This weeks word is "bustier." Not bustier, as in Anna Nicole Smith was bustier than Kate Hudson. Oh no, "bustier" as in the French pronunciation. That bit of fabric designed to give every woman an enviable figure. Here's my entry..
A Perfect Figure
Her fingers trailed along the racks of silk and barely there chiffon, ribbons and lace. Sighing, she glanced at the life size posters on the wall. Models with tiny waists and gigantic breasts. They would look fantastic in one of the tiny teddys or babydoll frocks before her.
Glancing in the mirror, she sucked in her stomach and threw out her chest. She needed something with a little more structure. Groaning, she turned away from the ruffles and thrills and saw it, a white bustier with delicate satin ribbon detailing. It was her own hourglass figure made to order!

Wonderful imagery. I'm still afraid even if I wore a bustier, I would give 'muffin top' a new meaning.

I have to give a hearty second to Tara R's comment. A bustier would only make me look bustier, kind of like two peeps about to explode in a microwave. Lovely descriptions.

I have to… (oh, geez, I was about to say "weigh in," but I think I have to find a less revealing word).
I have to AGREE with Tara and Teresa. It would not be a pretty picture.
And, Lou, you are a rascal!

I'm so glad you came to see me! I tried to visit your site the other day and it didn't work!

I loved the bustier piece and am intrigued by what seems to be a recurring event – 100 word challenge. Visiting other Sitzahs' sites has opened my eyes to so many clever ways of other bloggers. Thanks for sharing!

Know how many of those model bodies are in the real world? 8! Nice job on the topic.

Oh I definitely understand the feeling there! Those cute babydolls just hang and drape over the rolls I wanted them to hide! Bustier it is!
