2010 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction
Drawn from the secret, never-before-seen diaries, journals, and sexual records of the novelist, poet, and university professor Samuel M. Steward, Secret Historian is a sensational reconstruction of one of the more extraordinary hidden lives of the twentieth century. An intimate friend of Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and Thornton Wilder, Steward maintained a secret sex life from childhood on, and documented these experiences in brilliantly vivid (and often very funny) detail. After leaving the world of academe to become Phil Sparrow, a tattoo artist on Chicago's notorious South State Street, Steward worked closely with Alfred Kinsey on his landmark sex research. During the early 1960s, Steward changed his name and identity once again, this time to write exceptionally literate, upbeat pro-homosexual pornography under the name of Phil Andros. Until today he has been known only as Phil Sparrow--but an extraordinary archive of his papers, lost since his death in 1993, has provided Justin Spring with the material for an exceptionally compassionate and brilliantly illuminating life-and-times biography. More than merely the story of one remarkable man, Secret Historian is a moving portrait of homosexual life long before Stonewall and gay liberation.Binding Type: Paperback

Great bra! Comfortable and fits amazing!
Color: Light Beige, Size: 42D
This bra is amazing. The fit is perfect and it works really well as a minimizer. It doesn’t poke, stab, or leave any indentations or marks around my breasts or back, which is usually a problem for me with underwire bras. The wire also doesn’t dig into my skin or stomach at all.
It’s incredibly comfortable and provides great support and lift. My breasts feel secure and well-supported all day. I highly recommend this bra!

Good support but a little stiff
Color: Black, Size: 36DDD
The fit is great. I purchased 36 DDD. Just a little stiff and hurts after wearing for a long time.

Comfortable fit, looks great
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38C, Color: Light Beige, Size: 38C
Perfect fit, fabulous summer bra, lightly lined.
When I opened the bra and saw the wrinkles looking like a over washed bra, I had my concerns.
My girls filled the cups and the wrinkles on the cups went smooth. The bra is comfortable from the box, no wearing in needed, as it should be.

Uncomfortable after several wears
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38DD
When I first tried it on, it seemed to fit and be comfortable, so I decided to keep it however, after wearing it for less than a month, it has become very uncomfortable and the side boning does not stay put, and bends which makes it very uncomfortable and digs into the skin. Bummer because I did like the very light foam padding, which is hard to find in a minimizer.

Uncomfortable
It is not comfortable. It’s runs small. The mesh is rough. The boning digs into my skin. The material doesn’t feel soft at all. It’s not the amount I paid for it either. I don’t understand what they mean by stretchy- what is stretchy? It did lift my bust and looks great under a t-shirt. I’m not sure how durable it is. Straps are adjustable.
