there really is such a thing as tmi

In an effort to read something other than fic, I borrowed up a couple of biographies from the general collection at work last week. One is about Vivienne Westwood, and the other is about Edith Head, a costume designer who worked in Hollywood for nearly sixty years. She had the pivilege(?) of dressing many of the top female stars of the 30's, 40's and 50's, including people like Ginger Rogers, Mae West, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwick, etc.

I now know more about Bette Davis's breasts than I ever truly wanted to know. Apparently the women disliked the idea of bras in general and underwire bras in particular, with gravity taking a very unkind toll on her in the end. I will never be able to look at the brown evening dress she wears in All About Eve in quite the same way. And I am also determined to never let my babies go unsupported lest they develop Bette Davis syndrome!
