I agree totally on your insights above. Veronica annoys me (though I LOVED her yellow plunge halter dress in this episode, and her black and white sundress... SO flattering and I want to purchase both!) but Tim is so charming and cute, I cannot resist watching. I don't like the 'surprises' and tend to fast forward those, as well as the hair cut. I enjoy the make up tips, and the dressing room scenes. But other than that, Tim is the only reason I am still willing to spend 48 minutes a week watching. As for the bras, I agree. 6-8 months. I use the 'hand wash' cycle on my machine and air dry them. I wear them each two times between washings though never two days in a row. (that's a no-no... same with shoes) But I find straps, cups and bands are really only good for 6-8 months, even with the pricey brands (Wacoal, Felina) I have to buy in order to get my size. Costly, but worth it. A supportive bra is the true basis for EVERY outfit. SOOO ironic that you wrote about this today, because I just watched this episode this morning over breakfast!
