Most of the time when people go shopping it is supposed to be a typically predictable affair. There are not too many surprises. If you walk into a shoe store, you are going to find shoes. If you go into a cosmetics store, you are going to find cosmetics and so on. Everything is made incredibly clear when you go from store to store as to what it is you will find inside. In fact, most of these stores, especially the popular names have spent a considerable amount of money with consulting firms, figuring out how to get you into their store. Perhaps on a rare occasion you will run into a celebrity on some kind of promotional jaunt at a particular store. The most common of these tends to be a musician in a music store signing autographs. Aside from that, there really aren't too many surprises.
Now I hate shopping. My wife loves it and she can't get enough of it. She understands that if I need something I can run in quickly without thinking much about it, find what I want and get out. She enjoys the whole experience of going from place to place and hunting specials, just to see what she could find. On this rare occasion we had decided to go shopping with another couple for my in-laws' anniversary present. Don't ask how the other couple ended up coming along, they happened to be out for dinner with us and the wife turned it into shopping time.
We decided to stroll around this huge shopping mall that my wife visits quite regularly. During the course of looking for a gift for her parents, we would occasionally stop into other stores to look at things. The girls love doing this. So there was a stop at a shoe store, there was a stop at an accessory store and I think they looked at costume jewellery for a little while. We hadn't even begun looking for something for the in-laws when we came upon a store that sold women's undergarments. I'm not going to promote the store. It is popular and has great posters.
My friend's wife suggested we go inside for a bit because she needed to get some new bras. I didn't complain. Now, my friend's wife happens to be fairly well endowed. She is comfortably a double d bra and she is shapely. She is built much like my wife, which is to say they have curves and are beautiful women. A sales lady approached us and asked if we needed any assistance. My friend's wife explained that she was looking for something with a little extra support and was having trouble finding something that fit properly. I wasn't quite prepared for what happened next.
The sales lady grabbed a few bras and led us to the back of the store. She explained that there was a new design that they had just gotten in and that she was wearing one at that moment. She then proceeded to unbutton her blouse to reveal a beautiful white lace bra that looked to be about the same size as my wife which was somewhere between a d and double d. And then it happened. She turned to my friend's wife and said "Go ahead you can actually feel the support." That's right. This attractive underwear selling woman was asking my friend's wife to feel her breasts. We all kind of looked at each other no sure what to make of the situation. And then she said, "The truth is I just got implants and love to show them off." Are you kidding me!!
Now I started looking around to see if we were being video-taped for some hidden camera show. I even asked but was assured that nobody was going to jump out and yell 'gotcha.' After a few moments of consideration my friend's wife relented and felt the bra. She agreed it felt extremely supportive, although I was pretty sure you had to try it on to know for sure. Always being a joker, my buddy asked if he could feel the bra. Without hesitation the sales lady encouraged him to go ahead and he did. The sales lady then said she thought his wife had a nicer touch. That's right. She preferred the touch of a lady. I was positive I could beat them both. At this point I looked over at my wife as if to say 'well?' and she looked at me in a way that said 'if you even think about it I will start cutting things off.'
It was a crazy experience and you had to be there to believe it. My friend's wife ended up trying on and buying three new bras and my buddy lost the big breast caressing contest. I had completely forgotten that we were supposed to be looking for an anniversary present for my in-laws. I'm not sure what was going on that day or if this lady was the store's new super selling machine. One thing was for sure, she knew that she was going to make a lot of sales and a whole bunch of people were going to be going back to that store. However, I am not allowed to return.
