Hopalong:
My girls haven't just gone south, where they could simply be collected at the train station, but they've also split up and headed east and west, which is much more difficult to track. They're twins but not identical, so they won't stand out the way one might expect.
It's a great adventure for them, however. Their messages home are gleeful.

Ah.... WHEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee!
And now we're off into giggly sillies-land. I keep seeing that aging isn't for sissies - and won't deny that. But we can AT LEAST LAUGH at the realities of it, as much as possible.
But if a fairy-godmother showed up and said she'd grant my erstwhile, sometimes wish to at least LOOK the way I did at 30... I think I'd have to turn her down. My vanity would absolutely adore that. For a short while. I spent a lot of time dealing with my middle-aged (and then older) body and accepting the authenticity of it as an expression of who I feel I am now. I think it might be some kind of twilight zone nightmare to be an old lady trapped in a younger one's body, ya know?
There was a LOT of stuff I worked on about that, being a rape survivor. Dealing with Mike's expectations & fantasies. It was complex and tricky and honestly, it still comes up for me from time to time. So, I'm currently looking for compromise: between how hard I'm willing to work for the standard in my brain which is unrealistic (and yes, one trades a lot of time & energy for that "standard") and just feeling comfortable in my own skin.
B has his own touchy areas - given the form of rejection he experienced from his ex. His scars really aren't that prominent or ugly. I spent a LOT of time in "life drawing" above & beyond requirements with both male & female models. And this man is ideally proportioned & put together. So he has scars? whoopdedoo. For all I know - the ex has some triggers of her own. But there was no crazy fantasy stuff for us, right from the beginning. We're old people, and like alot of classic cars we have rust spots, bondo, pitted chrome, & dings. There's only so much "cosmetic" work can fix... so why not just broaden that standard of physical beauty enough to include us "over 60" crowd?
LOLOL, even Hol is trying to figure this out. She has a friend from work; they get along very very well. He's in his 50s; so a decade older than her. She saw a guy on set (from the back) that got her attention immediately. He turned around and she had to smack herself in the head. "Of course, it was "so & so". But I think she's a lot more forthright, direct, and unencumbered by hangups than maybe our generation is (despite popular fiction about the "sexual revolution").
But the bra "problem solving" is more a functional issue for me & her. We do a lot physical work - so we're looking for functional; yet comfortable to wear for a full day.
Hopalong:
I'm trying to take a practical approach, ya know, "the gift within the problem."
If the girls head much farther toward the coasts, they'll plunge into the sea.
I may loop them together at my upper back and use them as a modified backpack. Kind of a shelf design.
Very handy.
sKePTiKal:
IMO, it should be common practice that after those "glands" are no longer needed for their primary biological purpose, they should be shrunk to be a reasonable representation of the female human form. Binding is starting to sound good, btw. Maybe they can be espaliered like some trees?
:rolleyes:
Hopalong:
OOOO! I love the creative thinking!!
Espaliered boobies, YASSSSS Amber!
I believe this could be the start of another farm microbusiness, eh?
:)
