40 per cent of Australian women wear a bra with a cup size DD or bigger


Breasts of Aussie women getting larger 40 per cent of women DD or bigger Obesity, contraceptive pill to blame

The bra market is expanding, literally. Up to 40 per cent of Australian women now buy bras with a cup size of DD or higher, new figures from lingerie suppliers show.

In the 1950s, the most common bra-cup size was a B - three sizes less than a DD.

Modern breasts are getting so large that some bra companies have introduced cup sizes as high as K, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

What is she? A "Z" Cup?

Anyone know why the sizes go A, B, C, D, DD?  Why isn't the next largest E?

Ugh.  Last year, a bunch of us got an email from a friend with the caption: "Spring has sprung; time to show some stomach!"  Embedded was that exact picture.

I was actually aware of this.  Google News is my friend.

I thought this was going to be about them banning small breasts on the internet.

Millions Of Extra Sites To Be Censorsed As Australian Gov. Bans Small Breasts, Female Ejaculation


Any pretense from the Australian Government that its proposed internet filter will not extend to millions of sites has died with news that the Government has banned small breasts and female ejaculation in adult material.

The ban (RC) on small breasted women in adult publications has been made by the Australian Classification Board allegedly on the grounds that such images could be construed as child pornography, even where those publications comply with American law and keep certification that performers are over 18.

Female ejaculation has been banned on the incredible grounds that "the depictions are a form of urination which is banned under the label of 'golden showers' in the Classification Guidelines" and/or "Female ejaculation is an 'abhorrent' depiction." Notably here male ejaculation is completely legal under the same guidelines, attracting an X rating in Australia.

The Australian Sex Party argues that "There are over one million sites featuring female ejaculation and for Australia to be banning depictions and discussion of this important issue, takes us back into the Victorian era where they didn't even believe that women could have orgasms."

Millions though doesn't start to get close to the number of sites that could potentially be banned with this change. Under Australian law, any site linking to a site that has been refused classification is also refused classification, so something as simple as a series of swapped links on a porn site which shows neither small breasts or female ejaculation would be banned. Then if it's a general site with one small breasted performer, out comes the ban hammer as well, and that takes us to tens of millions of adult sites.

The addition of so many sites makes a mockery of the filtering trial undertaken last year, that only considered the ACMA Blacklist in one example, and a filtered list of tens of thousands of sites. Notably the second broader test showed internet speeds did slow down relative to the number of sites to be filtered; take that out to the millions or tens of million and the proposed National Broadband Network will be Dialup Plus vs anything the Government is promising.

In somewhat related news:

Aussie hurdler gives up fake boobs for country

Back from the last break before being sucked into the Great Olympic Maw (not to be confused with the Great Olympic Ma, who is Anita DeFrantz), we couldn't help notice this item busting out over the wires, which wins our Headline of the Year Award, four days running, courtesy of AFP:

"Olympics Or Bust As Rawlinson Removes Implants"

The story from Sydney is that former world champion 400m hurdler Jana Rawlinson, already known for being something of an eccentric athlete, has told Woman's Day magazine that she has reversed her recent breast-implant procedure so she can run faster and win a medal for Oz in the 2012 London Games.

Rawlinson, who also made headlines recently by announcing she would remarry her estranged husband, Chris Rawlinson, told the mag she liked having some additional bounce to her step, but didn't want to "short-change Australia" by hurdling with impaired aerodynamics and other gravitational challenges.

She explained her decision by saying the same thing anyone else who has sacrificed cup sizes for country would say:

"I absolutely loved having bigger boobs, but finally I've grown up enough to know myself; to be honest about who I am when I look in the mirror," Rawlinson told Woman's Day.

She said she got the implants more than a year ago because she was tired of being flat-chested, like many other star female track athletes.

"There are a couple of girls -- who I won't name -- in world athletics who are Olympic champions, but they look like men and I don't want to be like that," she said.

(Personal aside: She is correct that some female track athletes appear a bit mannish. Not that there's anything wrong with that. And we are tempted at this point to throw into this discussion the Caster Seminya curveball, but that would be too much for a Monday.)

Rawlinson told the magazine she spent $13,000 on the enhancement and subsequent disenhancement, and will spend even more to be reenhanced once she's through competing.

As for now: "Yep, I'm back to being flat as a pancake," she says.
