Friday’s Guilty Pleasure – Inaugural Edition

Posted in Uncategorized by

Everyone is entitled to a little guilty pleasure. I figure Friday is the perfect day to talk about it, so I’m going to start a weekly post where we can share them! I’m going to pick something every week that’s one of my favorite guilty pleasures to share with you, and I’m going to ask you to do the same. We’re all friends here, and heaven knows we could all use a little distraction now and again, and guilty pleasures are a great way to forget about the world for a few minutes.

I’m going to keep most of my guilty pleasures focused on the no cost/low cost end of things.  Because: 1. That’s about all I can afford right now;  2. I’m not the only one in that boat; and 3. It feels really great to get a pick-me-up for next to nothing.

For the Inaugural Edition of Friday’s Guilty Pleasures I’m sharing, or admitting to, Double Divas.

A t-shirt from the Double Diva’s of LiviRae Lingerie in GA where their motto is “No bust too big or small. We fit them all!”

I’m not big on reality TV. The little of it I watch tends to be more off-beat and Double Divas fits the bill. Double Divas is a docuseries on the Lifetime network about two women who own an intimate apparel store in Atlanta called LiviRae Lingerie, where the motto is: “No bust too big or small. We fit them all!”

There are a lot of reasons I like the show. Cynthia Decker and Molly Hopkins are funny, honest, and are even more supportive than the bras they fit. They do “Fit and Runs” where they basically walk up to women and tell them they’re wearing the wrong bra, what size they should be wearing, and if they have it with them they’ll fit them wherever they are…the parking lot, the coffee shop drive through…or they invite them back to their shop. They also help people with special situations, women who have never been able to be properly fit because of their size or physical differences, or women with special needs (like a holster, appropriate for barrel racing, etc.).  If there isn’t something hanging in the shop that works they will design something, and they won’t give up until it’s perfect.

This is what more reality TV should be. It’s fun. It’s positive. Cynthia and Molly feel like some of the women I’ve known and hung out with over the years and would love sit down and have a beer (and a good laugh) with. It’s a little bit naughty, but the respect and care they show their clients is heartwarming. You won’t find catfights, backstabbing or wine being tossed in anyone’s face here. You will find women helping others be more confident and comfortable in who they are and their bodies. We could use a lot more of that in the world.

It’s not compelling storytelling or educational, but it’s fun. Double Divas is my newest guilty pleasure.
