Breast Ironing? Breast IRONING?

To stunt young girls'... um.. chest development?

My first reaction is OUCH!

My second is, "Why the hell didn't anyone tell me about this when I was 11 and went from flat chested to footballs overnight?" A fact which made me enormously popular with certain males and totally hated by all the other flat chested girls, let me assure you.

However, I'm proud to say I never, never ironed. No, I did what any other proud, confident 11-year-old female in a similar situation would do: I wrapped myself tightly in ace bandages for two years because my dipshit mother read somewhere that it was bad for girls to begin wearing bras until they were 13.
