Unpaid internships are bullshit. We should all stop promoting them. Colleges should especially stop promoting them. I want to know which CEOs over 40 have ever done an unpaid internship?! Most likely none because they were PAID for their entry level work. Something to consider people: unpaid internships undermine your…

I feel like whenever Jezebel does bra posts tons of people complain about how they are an "odd" size and have trouble finding them. Maybe we need to start a True Fit study where we get a large sample of women's actual real bra size and then submit the findings to bra companies. What are they basing their sizing on…

I always found VS bras to be so uncomfortable so I stopped buying them in college. Although I love their cotton underwear - cute colors and patterns and good coverage. I used to buy mostly Calvin Klein bras which I found to be pretty comfortable. Now that I know my new size (found out less than a month ago) I'm…

Yes! I like that brand! The nice bra store I go to carries them. They just run out of my size quickly.

I'm willing to spend the money. It's more of a style issue. I really hate padding of any kind. I like lace bras but hate having seems that go across the nipple. In my size it is almost impossible to meet my requirements. Stella McCartney does make bras like like but there goes $90 to $140 dollars for one bra!

Well a lot of brands don't even make my size at all.

Except that they are not. That's what I'm talking about. I have tried on both a 32D and a 30DD and they do not fit the same. I realize that a 32C is not the same as a 30DD, but it's a lot easier to find and depending on the brand was pretty comfortable for me.

True! But I think it's something that must be promoted by various companies since it seems to be a fairly common practice.

Oh I still search for the correct size. The problem is that I like lacey bras with no padding and no seams at the nipple. They are hard to find and expensive when I do find them. It's just a complaint about how limited the availability of "odd" sizes is.

Some of the problem surely must come from how the industry promotes false equivalencies? For instance: I've been told when I can't find a 32C I should just buy a 34B. But a 34B is too big in the band and too small in the cup size. They are not the same. I was recently measured at a more high end place and it turns out…

I don't buy that you are forced to brand yourself. Saatchi & Saatchi is a global advertising agency so asking potential interns to brand themselves makes sense. Trust me, most industries do not expect anyone to brand themselves but if you are going to work in marketing or parts of the entertainment industry you will…

So I'm the OP, and a GenXer (tail end - my BF is a Millenial). Anyway, the phone comments come from how we experienced technology growing up. I did not have a cellphone until I was out of college and even then I kept it off most of the time and only used it for emergencies (i.e. car problems, too drunk to drive home).…

I find your generation to be incredibly optimistic in the face of all the shit that's gone down in the last decade +. You're also more open-minded and believe that you can "be the change you want to see in the world". I fucking love that! I don't find you "kids" to be selfish. Just keep on trucking and being your…

The boomers think everyone else is narcissistic because we aren't talking about them all the time.

Oh yes, there are offenders of all age groups. My generalization is based on younger relatives who cannot stop texting through a special dinner out. My younger coworkers are good about talking to you and ignoring their phones. However, if there is any question about anything, they immediately Google the answer which…

I'm a GenXer, too. Regarding your point on helicopter parenting and negotiating salaries: whose fault is that? I'd say the parents and the education system. My parents would have told me to fuck off if I had asked them to negotiate my salary. My teachers talked to us about how to conduct an interview and how to be…

While there are aspects of the Millennials that drive me nuts (put your phone away for 30 seconds!), I have to say that I really like them over all. They are not apathetic and seem good at utilizing technology to mobilize for good causes. Sure, they can be ridiculous and immature - but they are young (and so were the…

Actually, one of the biggest road blocks to streaming and downloading are the cable providers. They have a choke hold on the industry and how things are distributed. They do not want streaming to be the main way people consume media because that means no one will pay for their very expensive service. There are a lot…

I have fine hair, too, but I have a lot of it. The cheaper salons always use those razor scissors (or texturizing shears or whatever) on my hair and it looked horrible on me. It just made my hair look frizzy instead of adding body. My current hairstylist hasn't once used those scissors on me. It takes a while for her…

Yes, I don't mind them suggesting things or explaining that an inch shorter would look better for various reasons, but once I have heard them out and decide against their suggestions they need to back off.
