Conversation I had with Maile in the dressing room of a store that had nothing that fit me correctly:
me: EVERYTHING IS TOO SHORT ON ME. I want to open a new store called “Two More Inches”. All of the clothes would have two more inches of sleeve, chest and hem. I would totally shop there.
Maile: My shrink says we need to learn to appreciate our finer points. Like you have excellent nail beds.
me: And your elbows are totally sexy.
Maile: Aw. Thanks, girl.
Me: And if back fat were boobs I would totally have four boobs.
Maile: WHICH WOULD MAKE YOU THE SEXIEST WOMAN EVER. We need to make lingerie to show off our back boobs. Like a bra with four cups.
me: Mine would be a DD in the front and a budding A cup in the back. Technically men are totally missing out on two extra boobs. It’s just the nipples that are missing.
Maile: Right? Stop getting so hung up on nipples, assholes.
me: Plus, your back boobs would never get breast cancer. Who gets back cancer, amIright?
Maile: Yeah. Why doesn’t anyone ever get back fat cancer? Or finger cancer. You never hear about anyone who lost a pinkie to cancer.
me: I like the boob idea. Plus, skinny teenage girls would finally feel jealous of us.
Maile: And we could be like “Just be patient. Your back boobs will come in eventually. It just takes time.”
me: Time and enchiladas.
Maile: EXACTLY. And when you feel hungry you can just say that you’re building up your back boobs. BECAUSE YOU TOTALLY ARE.
me: So basically eating enchiladas now makes you sexier.
Maile: Someone bring us a Nobel prize.

Plus, you already have your extra nipple, so you’re halfway there.

It would totally make teenage girls jealous. You should invent the 4 cupped bra. Lots of women would buy it. Love the blog. Hilarious!
And remember, NOTHING shows off back boobs better than a bridesmaids dress! We can all only hope to be asked to be bridesmaids at this point in our lives and and revel in the fact that we’ll be sexier than the bride : )
Awesome! I totally feel better already

If I had a Nobel prize in my back pocket, it would be all yours. But not my back boobs – if they’re about to get sexy, I’m keeping those!
I thought I was the only one with freakishly long arms and too much body on my torso for tops to reach my belly button. I avoid clothes shopping but would definitely shop at ‘Two More Inches’. I’ve long thought that back boobs were underappreciated. Bring in the double trouble bra, I say.

Jess recently posted..It’s true: I do not gargle donkey balls.
I would have to have a two less inches store, as I am short and kinda round so everything is always to long if it fits other places. Sleeves and pants need just two inches less and I would me good to go. Maybe we could put our stores next to each other. Then we could corner the market. Oh and then we need a shoe store that sells shoes in different sizes. Like I need a 7 on one foot and a 6 1/2 on the other. That would be awesome.
Two more inches!!!!
I refer to my back boobs as “wings o’fat”…I think if I ate just a few more enchis I might be able to fly. In a magical, Pegasus-like way, of course.

I went to New York city and got properly fitted for a bra at a wholesale lingerie shop by an orthodox woman who is my new hero. She got me into some bras and a corset that totally eliminate my budding As…I was overjoyed at the time. Now…have I just denied myself of the next big thing?! Oy
It would be interesting to see what type of shoppers would walk into a store called ‘Two More Inches’. Maybe lots of men wearing sunglasses and baseball caps.
I should hook you up with my girlfriend so you guys could go into business together because if I had a nickel for every time I heard “I could use two more inches” I’d be rich.

Armpit boobs are properly called “armtits”, according to the daughter of a friend who was still young enough to be carried around a lot. She liked to play with mommy’s armtits. Now that I come to think of it, that little girl may be old enough now to have armtits of her own. Its the circle of life…

two more inches could have a men’s division too! what man doesn’t want to shop there? yessir, i need to drop by two more inches to have his pants taken out!!!
I was just bitching about how short shirts are in stores. I’m not tall and still they are too short. Also can 2 more inches sell dress for us larger chested girls? If I don’t wear a tank top under a sun dress I run the risk of getting a indecent exposure ticket.
You’re hilarious!
Try Lands End for clothes with more inches. I recently got 3 dresses there that had sleeves, completely covered my boobs, and actually went all the way to my knees all at the same time!
No back boobs, but I have boobs around my midriff. Wait…that’s just a fat roll.

My back boobs and thighs of hate and doom are sold!
Dude, we need to shop together. We’ll always buy matching outfits because you can totally have two inches from all my stuff. Seriously, I’m 5’2″ and I was once shopping in a store specifically for petite people (hello, Petite Sophisticate) and even there… where shit is supposed to fit me, I was told that really, I’d need to find something classified as a mini-skirt to even attempt a knee length. Apparently I have no thighs… length wise, definitely length wise. Width is not an issue. lol My friends look at the super cute dresses for the young girls that ONLY cover their asses… totally okay for me cause that shit is catholic school approved on my stubs.
We have totally got to promote this idea. I already have fabulous boobs in the front, but we could convince the skinny chicks that back boobs are cool
It would be so worth it…and I could finally stop hating my back fat.

Is there going to be a bouncer to keep out all the creeps looking for 2 more inches of . . . ahem . . . big metal chicken? Maybe it should be “2 More Inches . . . Of Clothes, You Goddman Perv.” Jazzy, biting & to the point – as all slogans should be.
Oh man, if this hit as a new trend I would be the happiest fat girl ever.

Actually, not to long back I read about finger cancer. It was actually cancer of the nail bed, which is ON the finger, but whatever. Apparently those ultraviolet lights that they use in nail salons to harden gel manicures can cause cancer of the nail beds, so now I don’t get gel manicures anymore. Not that I got them all that often before, like maybe I’ve had three in my entire life, so no more and I haven’t exactly lost anything and hopefully I haven’t already gotten nail bed cancer.

I need the “two fewer inches” store. Everything that fits over my front boobs and my back books has sleeves that go to my knees. (And if it fits over my enormous butt boobs it covers my feet.)
The other day I was thinking about how the heavier I get, the more symmetrical I become. I mean think about it – back boobs, plus if I wear pants that are too small I get a front butt too! And symmetry is beauty!

You could just combine the “Two More Inches” with “Two Less Inches” and have a store called “Give Or Take Two Inches”.

Amy recently posted..Sushi Maki of Terror
Yes to Two More Inches!!! (In all kinds of ways, really…) I am not tall, nor am I long-torsoed. However, my giant amazing rack means that by the time shirts and dresses make their way over and back to my (much, much smaller) rib cage and waist area, they have lost half their length. Or something scientific like that — anyway, the end result is I am always ordering the Tall version of all shirts whenever possible so that they make it as far down as I would prefer. Also, I am not hip, I guess, and I like all my skirts to fall _just_ below the knee, which generally requires basically exactly two additional inches of skirt. So I’m on board with this all the way.

Some friends and I used to say we were going to open a women’s clothing store called “OddBodies.” Instead of departments like “Juniors” and “Misses” ours would be “fat and short” or “tall with big boobs” or “huge butt.” It would just be so much easier to call it what it is. What the fuck is “Misses” anyway???
I just picked up your book and I cannot stop laughing, thank you so much!
Well, I always talk about extra boobs when the bra is too small..kinda squeaks out the top, ya know?
The only problem that I see is that skinny bitches would totally be jealous of our enormous back boobs and then would start getting back boob implants! Then we’d have to complete with silicone implant back boobs, which really couldn’t compare to our natural back boobs, but we’d still develop an unnatural self-consciousness about our back boobs and then the cycle would continue…

I have to be honest… I didn’t read this post, but I did just finish your book and wanted to share with you how it ended with me. It was almost as if you planned it. I was laying in my hammock. It has been so freaking hot but today was overcast and kind of chilly. Anyways, I was determined to have the book finished before it got dark. Just as I started reading the part about the truth of underwater squirrels, I heard a rustling in the tree above me. Then within two minutes the evil squirrel in the tree started bombing me with nuts from the tree. I ran inside to tell my parents but they just shook their wads much like I imagine victor would. My mom even asked if I saw a squirrel. I went back outside to get my shoes and I kid you not, a huge but landed just where I had been laying in the hammock. The evil squirrel almost got me.
You know how they say when you’re old, you have to decide whether you want to look good coming or going? Cuz if you’re thinner you look good from the back, but your face is all scrawny and pinched. But if you’re a little meatier, your face and boobs look great, but your behind is too fluffy? Back boobs can help you look good coming AND going! Not that you’re old. Just something to think about, for when you’re old.
Now you just need to work on thunder thighs!

Do you know how many men would storm a store called “Two More Inches”?

I was walking behind a woman blessed with back boobs this past weekend and it looked as if she had back nipples…and it was cold in the building. I couldn’t take my eyes away, and unfortunately my phone has a terrible camera otherwise you would be receiving the photo now.
I, also, am changing my general all-purpose answer to “Time and enchiladas”. My old general all-purpose answer was “Sometimes ‘y’ and ‘w’”.
I now feel deprived that even though I’m on the far side of 60, I still have no back boobage (except for shoulder blades). I am, however, developing some very nice tricep flesh flags to wave when I wave.

My husband actually had a sort of finger cancer. He had to have a tumor removed. Not only did he have finger cancer, but more embarrassingly it was a type that usually only babies and pregnant ladies get.

Actually, I’ve had a small, annoying pain in my thumb all day today. I’m 99% sure it is either finger cancer or a tiny parasite eating the bone. So there. I’ll update you if I lose the finger – good thing I have two thumbs and the space bar is long.
Very nice, indeed. Don’t forget about budding thigh cleavage– in the right light and position you could be gunning for two more “boobs.”

You might want to add a disclaimer line underneath the Two More Inches title if you want to avoid attracting males with insecure relationships to their junk. Just a suggestion.

Damn, I only get three boobs on account of stupid-ass cancer stealing one and making me use my back fat boob to replace it. Oh well, I’ll still totally rock the triple boob look. ;0)
True fact: one of my relatives was involved in a malpractice lawsuit where a patient got middle finger cancer and his whole middle finger had to be amputated and now he can’t flip people off.
Moral of the story: beware finger cancer, or else you may wind up tragically unable to give people the double deuce.
Props to Maile for having sexy elbows – that’s a hard area to rock once you’re over 40 (just a little FYI).
OMG I did have a finger tumor as a teenager! My finger grew this huge tumor, it looked like it was pregnant. I had to have it removed. The surgery was way cool. They wrapped my arm up in bandages until all the blood drained out and then I watched as they took the tumor out. It was pretty cool. But actually I didn’t look after I lost feeling in my arm, I just looked at the wall with the little window on it. I was a wussy teenager. Luckily it was not cancer. The scar on my left pointer finger is seriously how I tell my right from left. I went 16 yrs without being able to do that. And this post reminded me of that period of time. Which is awesome because I got to totally gross people out with my finger tumor. Thanks!
My ex boyfriend’s sister got back cancer. When he told me I was all “Dude, we aren’t dating anymore. You don’t have to make up lies about why we can’t hangout.” And he was all “She has fucking back cancer, you heartless cunt!” Then I was like “Oh. That sucks. My bad.”
I would also shop there. And if back boobs are getting sexy, I’ll be the sexiest bitch EVER. Plus, if enchiladas make it better, that’s a bonus. Of course, I’d have to move back to Texas, because I haven’t eaten a decent enchilada since I moved away from there.

Yummm…enchiladas….
Of course, all I could think of while reading that post, other than my awesome enchiladas, was the fact that Captain Kirk ALWAYS fucked the green bitch with the three boobs.
Stop laughing. I’m weird. Suck it. LOL

I hate to rain on your parade (and I DO enjoy your blog) but having back fat = welcome to obesity. And as well, MANY studies have correlated obesity levels DIRECTLY to cancer, all types: brain, bone, breast, blood, bladder, colon, the whole spectrum. Start splitting those enchiladas with your mate, and split a salad, too.
And on a side note, if ” All of the clothes would have two more inches of sleeve, chest and hem.” is true, maybe it’s time to realize you’re actually a size or two larger than you’re currently wearing.
Enchiliadas = sexier? LOL thanks for the laugh
I think I’ll go eat some. And then go for a 3 mile run!
