Pour les fringues de sport, et notamment les brassières, je commande chez fabletics parce qu'ils ont des grandes tailles. J'ai jamais eu besoin de renvoyer un truc mais je pense que les échanges doivent être plus faciles
J'ai regardé sur le site mais pour la taille, ils mettent juste L, XL etc et l'équivalent en 40, 44 etc. Moi je connais ma taille en t-shirt mais pas en soutif avec ces mesures là... Ils mettent aussi l'équivalent en cm pour le 'bust' mais mdrrr, j'ai mesuré et ça me ferait porter du S. Alors que je fais du 95F.

From Gaza to Chile, revolutionary women's brassières hanging like hunting trophies
Reflecting on the haunting imagery from Gaza of IDF thugs displaying the bras of Palestinian women as obscene trophies, I'm reminded of an art exhibit by the Chilean artist María Verónica San Martín. Basing her sculpture on the first hand testimony of women political prisoners who survived Pinochet's camps. How Junta guards relished in a hanging gardens of shame, the bras of arrested Marxist women hanging from above. It was designed to intimidate and demoralize newly arrived detainees with the sheer scale of the mass of stolen bras of their compañeras. Each bra telling a lurid story of how a proud militant activist woman stripped it off or had it torn off by a leering Junta guard. A macabre spectacle of degradation and humiliation.
It was a show of force boasting just how many socialist women had been captured, and gloating their bodies were now owned. Later seeing your own bra you were arrested in hanging, it would be a cruel reminder of your old life in your current hell. As Marxist women we share a sisterhood with Islamic women suffering the same mockery, in both our cases our underwear has been used to taunt our seriousness.
Tumblr media
A bra is a deeply personal intimate garment to women, and a girl's first bra is a defining moment of her life. The frat boy humor of stupid men sees it as a hunting trophy to show off. Robbing a woman of it as a way of robbing her of her dignity. With both Communist and Islamic women there is an obscene fascination from the political enemy, that women who take themselves seriously wear underwear and yes sometimes fashionable sexy underwear. The grotesque IDF wall of bras hanging from barbed wire echoes this forced juxtaposition of the serious political and the frivolous feminine. Political prisoners wrote about how there was almost a brute natural animal dignity and seriousness in complete nudity, but keeping proud women in lingerie stripped them of all dignity. María Verónica San Martín's artwork turns it into an act of pride. Yes we are revolutionaries, and we are women and we wear bras. And for women leftists who were abused especially for our female traits, these hanging bras is a gendered memorial and symbol of our gendered ordeal.

The Lie of Rosie the Riveter
Tumblr media
Considered a cultural icon, and a symbol of Feminism, Rosie the Riveter was actually a propaganda campaign to get women to work in factories during WWII, as the men were off fighting in a war.
The actual model was a musician, and quit within a couple of weeks to marry rich.
The brassière was introduced, as the corset was impractical for factory work. Contrary to popular imagining, wearing a corset normally, as most women did, causes no health effects, other than maybe better posture. What people think of when they think of corsets is Tightlacing. We know about tightlacing because it was scandalous at the time. Before the corset, women wore a Bodice, which is basically a corset with less support. It required less material, and was not fitted, instead the support was provided with lacing.
This is also when women stopped wearing skirts. Because they are impractical - in a factory. Outside of factories, and going on long hikes, skirts and dresses are incredibly practical for everyday life. There's a reason women wore them for centuries, there's a reason ancient cultures wore tunics.

Fashion Revolution: The Death of Corsets
, With the beginning of the 20th century, corsets began to die a slow death to be replaced by a bra. History of the bra offers us the name of Phillipe de Brassière, a Frenchman living in New York, who had the presence of mind to patent this revolutionary garment that liberated women from corset oppression. He was not, however, the father of the idea. The first bra must be credited to Herminie…

this post is brought to you by: la lettre b
[previously: la lettre A]
soooo i read all the B words in this french dictionary recently - ladies, please! one at a time when you propose marriage! - and boy are there tant de mots de ouf là-dedans !
stats
percentage of dico taken up by B words: 4.5%
percentage of dico read (as of the end of the B section): 12.8%
rate and duration: 3 pages/day for 11 days + part of the 12th day
total entries: 1608
rows added to my vocabulary spreadsheet: 335. this is considerably more than the number of A-word rows even though there are a lot more A words than B words. whoops!
semantic themes
for some reason, in the B section there were a few semantic categories that seemed to recur a lot. in some cases i think there might be some sound symbolism at work (ba is a common syllable in baby babbling, which could contribute to the frequency of words meaning "babble", "mumble", "prattle", etc. that start with b) but in other cases i haven't a clue.
verbs for speaking indistinctly: babiller, bafouiller, balbutier, baragouiner, barbouiller, bégayer, blablater, bredouiller
other speech verbs: baratiner (spiel), bavarder (chat), bavasser (chat), bonimenter (spiel)
words for trifles (trinkets and/or trivial matters): une babiole, une bagatelle, une breloque, une bricole, un brimborion, une broutille. i might also class et des bananes here
slang for head, face, and/or expression: une bille, une binette, une bobine, une bouille, une boule, une bourriche
slang for belly: un bidon, un bide, un buffet
slang for year: un balai (literally, broom), une berge (literally, riverbank). why? search me!!!
sudden exhaustion idioms: le coup de bambou (also means heatstroke), un coup de barre
verbs for animal noises: bêler, bourdonner, brailler, braire, bramer
i'm now about 50 pages into the Cs (i procrastinated this post lol) and there's a ton of slang for "head" starting with C as well. many of these are, like, names of fruits that are round, so pretty straightforward, but there's also carafe (carafe) and cafetière (coffeemaker). not really following the association there...but i digress.
page hogs
(entries taking up 1/6 of a page or more)
bas
battre
beau
bien
blanc
bon
bras
there are a lot of "bras" idioms ok!!
🤯 momence
une banane: obviously this means banana but i'm mainly interested in its "fanny pack" sense because when i was a child i had a fanny pack shaped like and decorated to resemble a banana...COINCIDENCE????
i haven't been writing all of these down but i like compounds like un bouche-trou (stand-in, stopgap; filler) and un brise-tout (butterfingers). see, french CAN make pithy little phrasal nouns without using de! just slap a verb conjugated in the third-person singular present indicative in front of a noun with a hyphen in the middle and voilà, new word. francophones idk what youre complaining about, this shits easy
french has you covered on slang for round or curved body parts with une boule (noggin; testicle) and un boule (ass; boob (in canada anyway)). no one tell fergie or she will find a way to make this about "my humps".
another situation where changing the gender gives you a different but related word: un brassière (bra) and une brassière (sports bra). this is fun for a holiday, but it's a good thing french doesn't make a habit of this or it would be so much harder to learn vocabulary!
favorite words to pronounce
baby-foot [babifut]
bombance [bɔ̃bɑ̃s]
bonbon [bɔ̃bɔ̃]
least favorite words to pronounce are badaud (because i always swap the vowels and say baudad instead) and bugle (i can do -gle at the end of a word but not right after a u for some reason) :(
favorite words period
un baby-foot: foosball table, foosball game. i have spoken previously about the spiritual experience of discovering that this word exists (see also french is a beautiful language and thank goodness the british are so boring). and it is the gift that keeps on giving because now whenever there's an awkward pause in a conversation i can just drop in this fun fact and immediately we're back in business. hey, don't cry. the french word for foosball table is baby-foot. ok?
une baguette: chopstick! of course baguette refers to basically anything baguette-shaped but i find this especially charming because in english baguette refers only to the bread, so it feels like they named chopsticks after iconic french bread rather than what's actually happened, which is that various baton-shaped things are all called "baton".
ça baigne ? / ça baigne ! and ça boume ? / ça boume !: like ça va but slangier! lord knows i'm always looking to slang up my small talk.
ça me barbe: one thing i am learning is that french has A LOT of ways to say that you are soooooo bored omg just dying of boredom. makes sense for a language in which the word for "boring" also means "annoying".
barder: to kick off, turn nasty, get heated, as in ça va barder ! (there'll be hell to pay / shit is gonna hit the fan!). so pithy.
bernique !: no way, not a chance! knowing that bernique as a noun means "limpet" only increases my enjoyment of this already great interjection.
chercher la petite bête: to nitpick. basically the same image as the english idiom but way cuter somehow.
bibi: yours truly. i need a francophone penpal stat so i can sign all my letters with this.
in english the same word means both "twice a month" and "every two months" which is just terrible design in my opinion. french has solved this problem with bimensuel(le) (twice a month) and bimestriel(le) (once every two months). now the only problem is i have no idea how i'm gonna remember which is which.
bœuf: fantastic, huge, great, impressive. reminds me of that verse in "foux du fafa" when bret is just saying the names of foods at the supermarket in french and goes "bœuuuuuf", which is arguably the best line of the entire song.
bon, je te laisse : well, i'd better get going / i'll leave you to it. finally, a way to say goodbye without sounding like a textbook from the 1950s!
c'est bonnet blanc et blanc bonnet: it's six of one, half a dozen of the other / tomayto, tomahto. i think what i like about this is both that it's a very handy phrase to know, but also from my perspective as a french learner it is not at all a given to me that "bonnet blanc" and "blanc bonnet" would be the same thing, because the position of adjectives in french does sometimes change the meaning! so it's also a lil ironic, which is fun and sexy imo.
bof: meh, nah. i say "meh" in english ALL the time, so this was a huge lacuna in my vocabulary. merci le robert de poche 😘
c'est le bouquet: that takes the cake / that's all i needed (ironic). always looking for ways to be sarcastic in my second language. i should probably get better at being sincere in french first before i start adding complications, but it's so hard to resist!
next up...81 pages of Cs!!! luckily i am already halfway through the C section or just seeing that number might be too intimidating. courage !
