Well, we finally differ on something! Lol. I'm a skinny little boobless thing, or so I have felt most of my life. Envying the girls like you, by the way. Seriously now, I love the truthfulness (and humour) of this, Louise. I don't think any of us women are comfortable in our bodies, for a variety of reasons we can just call - the patriarchy. There just isn't a 'right' way to be a woman, or a 'right' shape. May we as crones finally learn how to say - to hell with it! And celebrate all the fabulousness that we are, both inside and out!

That really made me smile Lori, we are all uniquely different and beautiful inside and out. I agree, we never 'appear' to be doing it the right way. I am well and truly going for the "to hell with it", it takes time to undo all that conditioning, but we've got time. I can't wait to lean fully into my crone phase, I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for it! xx

I’m with you - definitely pursuing the “to hell with it” path! I love being a crone! xo

Bloody brilliant writing! Loved it. I also go braless more that a little these days - it's what they deserve!

Thank you so much Debz. I know, I feel like I’m doing them a favour!

I salute you! I wear overalls in the winter and can get away with going braless from time to time.

Oh that sounds great, Jill, a pair of dungarees might do the job nicely!
