That’s Not Something You Do Every Day #1

August 12, 2020

Buying new bras is right up there for me in the same category as having a root canal.

I drove down to Nordstrom yesterday to meet the fitter, Laurie. The last time I did this was ten years ago when I was getting fitted not only for a new bra, but also for a new boob. You can read about that experience here.

I must have felt very comfortable with Laurie, because the next thing I knew, she was in the dressing room with me and I was whipping those bras off and on in front of her to get the job done.

In addition to the 3 bras, I bought 2 dresses, 3 shirts, and a pair of black jeans. And yes, it’s all coming with me to Nashville next month when I go record my song.

About Marie de Haan

Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
