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.

☀️ The Ultimate Summer Bra Packing Guide: 2 Bras, Endless Adventures
Bonjour boob lovers! It’s your favorite lift-loving globetrotter, Brigitte, fresh off a fabulous Paris escape with my two teenage daughters — and drumroll, please… we did it with carry-ons only. 😱
No checked bags. No baggage claim brawls. No 60-lb rolling suitcases slamming into cobblestones. Just three fierce femmes, three compact carry-ons, and a week of pure magic. Honestly? I deserve a croissant-shaped medal. 🥐✨
We wandered through Paris, soaked in the sun of the South of France, and yes —
we danced on the Pont d’Avignon like the queens we are. 💃👯♀️
Video proof — because twirling on a historic bridge should always be on TikTok!!!
🎶
Sur le Pont d’Avignon, On y danse, on y danse. Sur le Pont d’Avignon, On y danse tous en ron 🎶d
Now, let’s get to the real support system on this trip:
BRAS.
Because no matter if you're strutting down Sainte-Catherine Street in Montreal, dancing in Avignon, or sweating it out at the Farmer’s Market in Saskatoon — your boobs need to be ready for
anything.
Here’s my golden rule:
🎒
Pack TWO bras. Just two. But make them powerhouses.
✨
Bra #1: The Boss Babe Bra
This is your do-it-all beauty. Supportive, flattering, and versatile — wear it
straight or criss-crossed for double duty. It’s got your back (literally) when you want
supreme support — perfect for a sweaty pickleball match, a power walk up Mont-Royal, or an unexpected dance break in a plaza.
💃
Bra #2: The Chic Chill Bra
Still supportive, still fabulous — just a little more
comfort-forward. Gives you a nice shape under that breezy dress, comfy enough for a croissant-fueled stroll through Old Quebec, but still ready for a light adventure (like sprinting to catch a boat tour in Vancouver).
Both bras should bring the whole package — comfort, support, and style. Just in different doses depending on the day’s mood.
So here's your
Booby Gazette TL;DR:
✔️ Carry-on travel is totally doable (even with teenage daughters!)
✔️ You must dance on at least one bridge
✔️ Pack two bras — one to slay, one to sway
✔️ Never leave home without your sass 😘
