Life Sucks In A Strapless Bra

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • The Realities of Getting Laid Off

    At the tail end of 2019, I unexpectedly got laid off from my job of almost 5 years. I’ve gone back and forth about writing this post, because the entire situation brought me so much shame. And if I’m being honest, it still does a bit. When you hear those words, “today is your last…

  • A Hot Mess Runs Her Errands

    You know the saying, “always dress like you’re about to see your worst enemy”? Well, as a lady in her 30s who loathes running errands, I subscribe to the saying, “dress like you give zero fucks because you want to get this shit done as quickly as possible.” If my enemies saw me in “running…

  • Let’s Try This Again…

    I really didn’t want to write a “LIFE SUCKS IN A STRAPLESS BRA IS BACK, BABY,” post because I’ve written and posted this oh so many times, even I’m like, “seriously… AGAIN?! See you in a year, bitch :::eye roll:::.” I write a post. I’m like, “that should suffice for a bit.” Then a year…

  • I Learned To Ride A Bike At 31

    Up until, oh I don’t know, August of 2018, I didn’t know how to ride a bike. Stop. Seriously stop reading. Let that sink in for a minute. I’ll give you a minute to regroup… No, my parents were not neglectful jerks. They taught me. With a cute pink bike with glittery tassels on the…

  • Life Still Sucks In A Strapless Bra

    I haven’t written for a year. An entire year.  As I wipe off the figurative dust from Life Sucks In A Strapless Bra, I can’t help but think about who I was when I put the pen down on this day last year. I was depressed. Heartbroken. Pissed off. I had lost my way. Lost…

  • Fashion Week: Is It A Bad Joke At A Funeral?

    PREFACE: It’s been a while since I hit submit on a post. I don’t have an excuse. I’m not going to be all, “uhh writer’s block, and I suck… and Trump’s a dick hole so it’s HIS fault :::shakes fist:::… THAT’S why I haven’t written.” I mean all of those things are true AND valid,…

  • If Rihanna Is Fat, Then I’m The Michelin Man

    We, as a society, have a problem. Actually no. Let me rephrase that. We, as a society, have MANY problems.  Donald Trump is our “President,” the US is pretty much a stone’s throw away from becoming the Handmaid’s Tale, and oh yeah, people think Rihanna is fat?! Is anyone else pinching themselves like, “WAKE UP,…

  • Do You Know What Avant Garde Means?

    Merriam Websters dictionary defines “avant garde” as: a group of people who develop new and often very surprising ideas in art, literature, etc. A la Rei Kawakubo of Commes des Garcon.  Now after that definition, think of the Met Gala red carpet last night. Yeah. Shiny, backless dresses don’t constitute as avant garde, people, but nice…

  • Things That Make Me Stabby

    A lot of people wonder why the knife emoji is always in my emoji top 8. In fact, I get a little bummed out when I notice the knife emoji has dipped out of my top 8 (what, you guys don’t have an emoji top 8?). Having a bad day? Knife emoji. People suck? Knife…

  • We All Have Curves – Own It

    I can’t tell you how awesome it is to see real women in ads and on the fashion week runways. It’s about damn time.  Target and Christian Sirano are some great examples of brands that have embraced the fact that most women have curves and cellulite, and their belly giggles, and that being a size…
