Well, that didn't go so well

Very exciting interview this morning, in the negative sense of the word. The guy, who is apparently the executive director of a new jobs-and-growth program in Kansas City, spent the first five minutes of the interview staring at my tits in a disapproving manner, and the rest of the interview studiously attempting not to look at me at all.

So I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a callback on this one. That's okay, though. If the guy can't get over his tit issues for a half-hour interview, I imagine that working with him would be a lot less fun than I want my job to be.

That's the thing, really. I was in what I thought was a very conservatively cut dress and a blazer. No cleavage, knee-length, and a blazer. I mean, nobody is sexy in a blazer.

Oh well. When I did a post-mortem on the interview with the recruiter, she was like "Huh. I wouldn't have thought that dress would be a problem. Maybe invest in some turtlenecks?"

Anyway, I imagine you do know what I'm talking about -- I at least have the advantage of the tits being on a not-terribly-impressive frame. You're so fantastically proportioned, I imagine you have all sorts of trouble being taken seriously.

I'd go check out the early morning SMUUCH service, and see how the overly-busomed ladies there cover their assets. I know there is some odd skill to it... as our God and Me lady had been working with us for a few months before I noticed when she was putting on her jacket that she was quite gifted in that area. Normally I notice chests... but when done like the church folks do, they fade out.

It could also be that I'm getting older and am not at mezmerized anymore.

Huh?

That dress was totally appropriate- especially with a blazer. And ya know - I'm not sure that turtle necks would be the way to go...there's that whole soft sweater boob thang. Some men out there are just Dumb boys. Dumb Dumb boys. ::shaking head::

Yeah, I'd agree that turtlenecks are a bad idea.

The suit jacket cut I have is one that is blouson at the bust but cut in at the waist. It makes the bustline look like it's how the suit is cut rather than the fact that you have a large bustline.

I'm not even sure it's possible to get those sort of jackets anymore, but I got them at Casual Corner.

I'll triple that notion... I think turtlenecks are sexy because they streeeetch over curves.

Unless you tuck & tape them to the sides and try to pass them off as REEEALY swollen lymph nodes.

Or not. ;-)

I'll put another vote in *against* turtlenecks, if the goal is to try to minimize your bustline's...well, "impact" on the interviewer. Remember my t-tunic you put on last night? It's made of an analogous material, and you looked marvelously distracting.

Denise seems to have the right idea (and well she should) considering the benefits of shirring and fitted coats to blur the outline.
