Life can be cruel, but make the most of what you have


By MARY EU

Talking Point contributor Mary Eu has realised that life is what it is. So she's just thankful for the little things and happy with the good stuff, like sexy lingerie.

There was a time when shopping for lingerie perked me up. I enjoyed looking for the perfect brassiere that could make mountains out of molehills and the laciest, skimpiest knickers to match. Such self-delusional bras are called push-ups for literally what they do – they give a little boost of confidence.

The feminine form metamorphoses with age. The ever-changing landscape means having to get new bras every now and then. When I was nursing my eldest daughter, I needed a bra that could suppress the masses. Engorged with milk, my breasts swelled from demure to ostentatious.
