Last night,while shopping for new underthings at Nordstrom's, I heard one of the scariest things ever: "Oprah said...".

Next to Tom Cruise opening his mouth and pretending to be straight, or practicing medicine without a license ... hearing "Oprah said/ says..." really disturbs me.

Especially since I've deemed these women (usually middle-aged soccer mom types) to be Disciples in the Church of Oprah. Don't even get me started on Dr. Phil ... that's for another time.


Anyways, back to the underpinnings and the Soccer Moms. Apparently, Oprah was pretty much creaming her jeans over the Le Mystère bras, which sent a couple of said Disciples to Nordstrom's, in search of said bras. Yes, dear sheep ... Oprah could tell you to engage in self-immolation in her name, and you'd do it, wouldn't you?

Personally, I'll stick with my Non-Celebrity-Approved* Wacoal bras. They might look average - and seem expensive - but they are certainly worth it. Especially since I kind of like to have The Girls nicely supported, while still looking reasonably pretty.

*Well, okay ... donia seems to be a bit of a Wacoal fan, and she was on TV, once upon a time. So, I guess they *are* celebrity-approved, in a way. ;)

Huh. What's the big hype over the Le Mystère bras?

Oprah was freaking out over Wacoal a few years back. My roommate used to commandeer the TV at 4 pm daily, so I'm all up to date on Oprah circa 2000.

I think it's so very cool that someone who was on What Not to Wear has an el jay.

I still think Wacoal rocks! They may be a bit pricey for my budget, but they last and do the job well. If I want to look sexy, I get naked, simple as that. Now where the hell's my sponsorship deal?
