I asked 
timscience what he thought should be done about the scandalous cost of big bras (having noticed the Boobs 4 Justice teacupstorm wimbling across my friendslist) and he suggested making them cheaper by using less material, so that they become more diaphanous and flimsier. Methinks I hear the voice of self interest there.
Speaking of bras, the photographer from the midsummer ball just got round to uploading his also rans (I didn't make it into his top 100, which will teach me to wear a high neck dress). Check out special midsummer masquerade Jeremy! With pint of ale, mobile phone, and oh, a photograph I didn't notice being taken. Deluxe version comes with horsedrawn carriage, Baileys over ice and says "Let us in we're disabled!" to night porters when startled by Salisbury squaddies.
Oh, and to the 1.5 people who might be interested, here's a house. It'll certainly go before we can get out purchase requirement ducks into even a vague row, but it's nice, isn't it? You're looking at the slice o' brie shaped corner plot. We also saw a small place with a heavily overlooked garden, a broken boiler, and a cenobite in the corner of the kitchen which was, well, less enticing.
The estate agent recognised me from last time. For a moment she didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the house we were looking round contained a small and adorable rescue parrot called Alex, who broke the ice with a cheeky whistle.

Also liking the garden attached to the house, but the main thing I noticed from that picture is that every other house really does have a trampoline in the back garden. When did that happen? I kind of knew that it was happening because we started automatically excluding them from the liability element of household insurance policies, but that was in America. Sorry, I appear to have digressed. Good luck with the house though.
I can safely say it's a family area, though, hm?

Okay, I feel a little dirty now.
But just a little.
Moah leibensraum!
Oh wait -- no. It's a cat that looks like Hitler.

(What happened with the estate agent last time?)
Campaign I say - or don't and allow larger women to subsidise my underpants.
It's not usually a question of just scaling up -- although if they have some new budget range where this is what they're doing then a) the bras will be shit at any price and b) they certainly shouldn't be charging more for them.
The only out-and-out fair trade bras I've ever seen were aimed at people too ethical to need anything as mundane as actual support (look! a picture!).
Although M&S's Fair Trade clothes range doesn't include bras AFAIK as early sign-ups to the Clothes Code campaign way back last century sometime they have been doing their bit.
That clearly isn't the case any more, but possibly the bra companies are still trading on the imagined gratefulness of a deprived population -- which the 19 year olds, who can't remember a time before multicoloured £5 bras from Primark, are inevitably taking issue with.
P.S. A Facebook group? Ten minutes, tops.
