Hi everyone,

I have that dreaded rash on the back of my upper arms and thighs. It's so annoying, and particularly embarrassing when people are 'kind' enough to point it out to me! ;)

I remember when I was about 6 my mom taking me to the doctor. The doctor suggested it was due to perfume and laundry soaps. Twit! ;) A dermatologist recently advised me that a good portion of the population has this "skin type" and "there is nothing you can do." I think though that you can reduce it by using a loofah and moisturizer as I believe someone already suggested. Whenever I follow this routine daily, my skin looks and feels pretty good. I'm a wee bit on the lazy side though.

As for the breast theory, I am cursed and over-endowed...can you say, double Ds? I am not a very big person either. What I would give to have small breasts! Of course, if I did, I'd be writing...what I would give to have large breasts! Is anyone ever happy with their breasts? :) It probably doesn't help that anytime you see naked breasts, they are the perky, silicone type! :) Anyone watch The Sopranos!?

Pointy, droopy, perky, big ones, little ones,....whatever(!)...I think they come in all shapes, sizes, and colours! Don't let the movies fool you! :)
