“I’m gonna have you naked by the end of this song…”
-Justin Timberlake
Last night, I had a wardrobe malfunction. While it wasn’t to the epic proportions of the Janet Jackson boob-flash during the SuperBowl (there are no epic proportions about my boobs, after all), nonetheless, it was a wee bit mortifying, and to be honest, I still have no idea if anyone else but me noticed. The sad thing is, I think they did and were too polite to say, “Hey you – put those away!”
Last night as I was getting ready for our night out, I grabbed a pretty low cut shirt out of my closet. It comes to a pretty deep-v in the front, and often, I wear a camisole underneath for fear of flashing people. Last night, for some insane reason, I figured to be less “safe” about it, and figured also that the shirt was fitting well enough when I put it on that everything should stay put. I skipped the cami, did my hair and makeup, spritzed on some perfume and headed out the door.
I grabbed a hoodie to take with me, so I made it through dinner without putting on a show, but when we arrived at the theater we were nearly an hour early (and hey! We went to see Sex and the City – so now I’ve seen it twice), so we went to the game room so that my husband and Bromance could play some air hockey. I didn’t notice a breeze or anything, but at one point, I looked down and realized, Oh my hell, there’s my bra! Trying to figure a way to delicately say, nearly the whole right side was visible because my shirt had creeped down. Fuuuuuck. I quickly adjusted, and once we were in the theater, I put on my hoodie and kept it on.
My husband said he didn’t see the bra-flashing (I think he was disappointed), but I have no way of knowing if either Bromance or his wife saw it. The thought kind of embarasses me, but such is life, I suppose. Next time, I’ll give much more careful consideration to my wardrobe.
Oh, who am I kidding? I probably won’t.

Your husband couldn’t possibly have seen a “boob-flashing”. All you’ve described is a “bra-flashing”. ;o)
Embarrassing for you none the less…

True enough. No actual boob was flashed – guess I should edit the phrasology there.

Hee! Given how often you can see bras, bra straps, and various other parts of underwear peeking through designer duds on SATC, perhaps they all thought you were trying to dress in accordance with the movie you were seeing?
I own more than one dress that I can’t possibly wear a bra with, and I have become good friends with double-sided tape.

Double sided tape! Goooooooood idea.
if I had given any thought that the cup in its entirety would be hanging out there, I would have worn a more exciting bra.
