short version of a long reply my phone just deleted: I love offal - lambs hearts are lovely for instance - but so many people think it's bleurghhhhiness. On the other hand milk??? Horrible taste (until it goes off and turns into stinky cheese, yoghurt etc) AND it's from a cows tits. But it's so widely consumed.

built in nipples??! FTW. I don't have any myself so this sounds a dress with potential added sexy factor for me

I will come to that party! There are so many dresses that I think wow to, and without the wedding pressure that gap between image and reality on my very real shape could be very amusing!

so lovely. Thanks for sharing

I just snorted out loud on the train platform at your comment. Thank you
