… as big as my head!

There's a Lane Bryant Store opening soon on Wabash. I walk past the location every day, twice a day, on my way to and from the el. The in-store renovations are going along furiously, and to keep the public in suspense until the grand opening, Lane Bryant is doing what many stores do: covering the windows with big, full-color shots of models in their fall finest.

So far, so good.

Except one of the photos is of a model in a black strapless bra. It's a big photo and, since Lane Bryant caters to women size 14 and up, she's a big model. And I hate walking past it because, well, it kinda scares me. Just one of her cups is, quite literally, as big as my head!

I'm no longer a petite flower. I wear a size 10. But oh me, oh my! That photo is darn right intimidating. Forget Snakes on a Plane. The Lane Bryant window on Wabash -- now THAT'S scary!
