Certifiably addicted

Richard the Lionheart claims to be a hoarder, one who has stocked up years supply of toothpaste. I on the other hand, am a hoarder of a very different necessity and I think I need to check myself in for rehab....I'm addicted to lingerie...more specifically, to the shopping of lingerie. La Senza and Women's Secret are now my favourites, having grown out of Triumph and Wacoal. I really can't help it, every time I walk past these stores, I'll pop in, telling myself I'll just have a peek at whats new. Every time I walk out...I have a new shopping bag in hand and a silly grin on my face, planning my next purchase. I think, if I lined my bra's and tied them together, they would make an excellent floatation device in times of emergency ( padding floats). I'm not talking about life-vest sized, more life boat sized...My undie drawer is virtually spilling over.

It all began in Uni, when a friend confided "You think this is real? I invest in good bra's...not cheap ones,ok? I'm half Chinese, do you think they come naturally?" in relation to her ample yet unsaggy bosom. Since then, I realised what she meant, being half Chinese myself. But back then, there was more Indian in me, I was a whole lot chubbier and bigger, so it didn't really hit me yet, this realisation. After losing weight and shrinking, I discovered the maximizer...and many other versions of this.

To my delight, a friend bought me a gift of lingerie once, and I discovered Women's Secret. Then came LA Senza to Mid Valley...and out went Triumph, Wacoal, etc. These days, the temptation is harder to resist, with unbelievable sales at La Senza...50% plus an added 20% if you purchase 5 items in a single receipt. Guess who went and utilised the 70% discount? And a few times at that? Hehehehe.....Well, at least some people appreciate them..not just me and BH, obviously, but also friends who see me in the gym locker...it's always nice to have nice lingerie...and its nice to be a woman in them!
