Here's my big question:
Why do manikins have nipples?
They don't need them. The only thing they do is sit there, hard as a rock, and make manikins look very very cold. Because they are solid bras don't contain or restrain them, and they just create an unsightly effect.
The solution: no nipples on manikins.
Clothes would look better, and manikins would feel less self conscious.
The only downside is for middle school boys who would have less to snicker about when their mom makes them go shopping.

Childhood dreams
When I was a kid (up to pretty recently actually) I thought that I would really like to be in the FBI or do what they do on CSI. I've always really liked those crime/catching killers type of shows. I thought it would be exciting and exhilarating to risk my life like that. I thought that facing death like that would make me feel invincible. I wanted to be that hero; solve the puzzle and bring bad guys to justice.
Tonight I was watching Criminal Minds (in the dark, by myself of course) and it clicked: I could never do what those people do. It would be such a sad life. On television the good people live and the bad guys get caught, but their work controls the agent's lives. Not to mention that in reality good people die. I would lie in bed at night thinking about all the people that died, and how I should have saved them. Emotionally I couldn't do it. It would make me too sad. I almost started crying while watching that show tonight. And what about a family? I couldn't have the family that I want if I was always trying to catch bad guys, never knowing when or if I would come home.
So, kudos to all the people who do protect us and catch killers. You have a hard job, too hard for me.
