Here are most of mine: This was my last one, the pix are when it was very fresh:

Just wear them and see how he reacts. You might find out he thinks it's really sexy.

Bullet bras at Sears?!?!? I haven't been to Sears in years, can you please give out the brands? I'm dying for a good bullet bra! Thanks so much!

Awesome season ender, I can't wait for next season! MissJeanavive- I love the idea of a Bay Area Mad Men night. Maybe when it gets closer to being on again we can work one out? Julie
