Jan probably should have deleted the e-mail, but the allure of a few free bras was just too much of temptation. There must be catch. There must be. There's no such thing as a free lunch. However, with Jan's generous endowment, comfortable and reasonably priced bras were not easy to come by. She was also terribly curious about the unusually detailed email.
The email read as follows:
Subject: We would like to give you 5 free G-cup bras, tailored to your exact measurements. We promise you will not find a more comfortable bra in your collection.
Dear Ms. Thomas,
I hope this email finds you well.
I also hope you will not find this overly intrusive, but our marketing research team has determined that you are frequently shopping for G-cup bras and other clothing items one might expect of a woman with a bust that substantial.
As I'm sure you have discovered, lingerie and most clothing is not tailored to a woman of your proportions.
Our clothing company, All Shapes/All Sizes has made it our mission to provide high quality, comfortable and fashionable clothing for woman of all body shapes.
We would like to extend a personal invitation to visit at flagship store at the address below. Please contact us at your earliest convenience to make appointment.
And yes, you read correctly, we will be gifting you 5 free bras after meeting with our professional bra fitter. There is no obligation to purchase anything and we will happily remove you from our mailing list if you no longer wish to be contacted by us.
Jan wondered for a moment who was tracking her purchases, but then realized, it was probably everyone. Everything in the email was true. Buying clothes for her size was a nightmare. True, she was quite busty, but the rest of her was very fit. Everything she bought either draped over her like a mu-mu or was obscenely revealing, which she did not mind so much, except for the fact it was highly distracting as a high school teacher.
When she called to make the appointment, they seemed so delighted that she was going to stop in. They were even more delighted when Jan said she had time that very evening to come by. She was rather surprised they stayed open so late.
Jan arrived at All Shapes/All Sizes (or ASAS as the reps were calling it) around 8. Most of the other stores in the mall were starting to close down.
At first glance, the store front looked like any other upscale clothing boutique...with one major difference. The mannequins in the window certainly represented a wide range of female forms. From tiny waifs, to towering amazons and everything in between. Jan stopped to look at a mannequin that seemed to match her shape fairly well. It was odd seeing a mannequin with such a prominent bust. As Jan peered in, her reflection laid over the blank face of the mannequin almost exactly.
Inside ASAS, it was nothing like a clothing boutique. It was more like an upscale spa lobby. There wasn't a reception desk...there was a bar.
There were no racks of clothes inside. Just comfortable lounge seating which seemed to be filled with women of every proportion, just like the mannequins. Everyone had a drink in their hand and the conversation seemed lively.
Before Jan had a chance to find a representative, a short Indian woman, approached her and greeted her warmly.
"You must be Jan," she said definitively, and she held out her hand. "I'm Zara. I'm so glad you could come."
Jan tilted her head down. Zara was probably almost a foot shorter than her. And like Jan, she had a rather prominent bust on a pretty small body. Her clothes however, looked immaculately tailored. She wondered if the button-down oxford she was wearing was hand sewn to fit her unusual measurements. She was quite beautiful as well. Friendly smile. Jan shook her hand.
"Should I be worried that you knew who I was?" Jan asked, half-joking.
Zara laughed though. "Well let's see, not too many other five-foot-ten, G-cup women on my schedule tonight, so it was a fairly educated guess." Zara walked Jan towards the bar.
"So what's your poison?"
"I see," said Jan, again, half-joking, "you get the ladies all liquored up so they'll buy more clothes. I've been to wedding dress fitting before...I know how this works....however I will have a Vodka tonic if you're offering."
The bartender, a slip of a girl, acknowledged the order and began fixing the drink.
"I'll have the same," said Zara. Zara looked around the room, as if confused.
"How could we be liquoring you up to buy more clothes?" she said. "What clothes? I don't see any clothes here."
Jan looked around as well. She was right. There weren't any clothes. Just a dozen ladies enjoying drinks, probably with other representatives as well.
"Wow," said Jan. "You guys are going to go out of business soon if you've got nothing to sell. But I will keep stopping by for drinks."
The bartender slid the girls their drinks. Out of habit, Jan went for her purse to tip. Zara stopped her. She picked up her glass and raised it to a toast.
"A toast, Jan," she said. "Let us drink to clothes that fit us well. To bras that support us and to the company that makes that possible. To All Shapes! And All Sizes!"
They clinked glasses and sipped. The V&T was delicious. Top shelf. And that subtle taste of lime. Jan thought,
This just might become my new watering hole
.
"So if you don't sell clothes, what's the racket here?" Jan asked. "Wait, you're not going to kidnap me and sell me to someone who has a taste for women like me are you? " This time Jan was mostly joking.
Zara laughed so hard she spit out some of her drink. "Who TOLD you!?" she exclaimed. "First off...we DO sell clothes...just not here. If you buy from us...and I assure you there is no obligation to do so...the clothes will be shipped directly to your home."
"How will I know if they'll fit?"
Zara grinned. It looked almost evil.
"Why don't we have a seat and I'll explain our evil plan." She indicated to a couple of over-stuffed chairs that had just been vacated. She took Jan by the arm and led her over. Normally, Jan was not be so comfortable with such an intimate gesture, but this woman was quite lovely, very charming, and if truth be told, Jan sort of fetishized Indian women. Jan was married; quite happily. Had several daughters. But for some reason she'd never quite been able to fully explain, she was insanely attracted to Indian women. She loved the color of their skin, they way they dressed and she always imagined them as her lovers. Something about the contrast of her pale skin against their darkness. She also imagined them bossing her around. Being in control. In her fantasy, she imagined these women ordering her to perform various sex acts on them. If Jan was being honest with herself, she imagined Zara as one of these women now.
