Hi, I’m Brigitte — a Canadian entrepreneur, stand-up comic, and professional supporter of women (literally and figuratively). I’ve been fitting sports bras for over 25 years, and when I’m not helping women feel more supported, I’m on stage telling stories through Women Wit & Wisdom or hosting Women Talk, a storytelling community where women share real life, real laughs, and real truth.
The Booby Gazette is where all of that comes together — humour, honesty, bodies, aging, life, and the occasional rant — written for women who like their support practical and their laughs well-earned.
If that sounds like you, welcome. You’re in the right place.

Halloween Perks Await - Dare to Go Braless?
Alright, confession time: the thought of going braless? ๐ฑ Downright spooky for us well-endowed ladies. It’s like one of those classic Halloween fears – spiders ๐ท๏ธ, haunted houses, or running out of chocolate. But, turns out, there’s a little magic in ditching the bra for a night – and some unexpected treats ๐ฌ to go along with the trick.
Going braless may sound like a breeze for some, but if you’re packing a little extra up top, it can feel like you’re unleashing two wild ghosts ๐ป๐ป under that sweater. And while I'm not here to claim it's a fear-free experience (especially when stairs get involved ๐), I recently came across a book called Dressed to Kill ๐ that had me rethinking the entire support system, so to speak. In this book, authors Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer reveal some eerie facts ๐: wearing bras too often could affect our breast health due to restricted lymphatic drainage. This isn’t to say bras are the enemy, but it does add a little intrigue to the whole “take a breather” idea.
๏ปฟ๐ So, in the Halloween spirit of embracing a little fear, I present to you the perks of giving the girls a night off!
It’s Liberatingly Spooky ๐ป
I’ll admit, the freedom is both terrifying ๐ฌ and a bit thrilling ๐ข. You get to see what it’s like to actually breathe without any underwire poking around like some sort of tiny Halloween pitchfork.
A Ghost Costume for Your Chest ๐ป๐
Let’s face it – they may move a little more, and honestly, that’s part of the fun. Nothing says “embracing Halloween” quite like letting the girls haunt freely under a loose shirt.
A Subtle Health Treat
Channeling Dressed to Kill wisdom ๐, taking the night off might just be a small act of self-care โค๏ธ. Who knew? You get to dance ๐, laugh ๐, and maybe even give your circulation a little bonus while you’re at it.
But please, for the love of all that’s holy (and unholy ๐) this Halloween, DO NOT attempt to play any sports ๐โ๏ธ or ride your broom ๐งน braless with the girls flapping around – someone could get hurt! This trick has its treats ๐ญ, but when it comes to bouncing, let’s save that for the candy bowl! ๐
