Opinion


Mrs. Primbleton often wanted to give her opinion to the customers
about some of their purchases. She knew that this customer's
triple D's would never fit into the cute little demi cup bra that she'd picked out.
he he he.
My opinion: Purchase a bra that fits well and gives you good support.
The girls will thank you and so will the rest of the world.

Vanessa! This is absolutely STELLAR! So perfect for the prompt, so beautifully drawn and so full of your wonderful humor and joie de vivre!

Yowza! This is hysterical and thank GOODNESS you said it. So true, so true. One day Mrs. Primbleton is going to explode. As is her customer.

By the way, you may want to recheck your Illustration Friday link. It seems to be broken.

Love the delicate colours in your illustrations. In this one the combination of the broken line work and the soft palette works especially well.

I should tell you about the day my actress friend, Estrid, took me to get a proper fitting. This is going to get embarrassing. Suffice it to say one of the 34B generation discovered 30FF and has not looked back! It was also tremendous fun. Wonderful illustration.

Connie said...

OK, ignore the email. This time it worked and I adore the image. See above for corset size.
