I got some "It Stays" to adere a lightweight fabric gown to my chest in areas. Long story short...it should be called "It doesn't Stay." I woud say it's like smearing Mrs. Butterworth on and hoping it will stick. I would not reccommend wasting your money!

I've held off my review until I'd had a chance to try them out a few times.

I purchased the large size in tan white. They were a total of $660 including all the shipping and tax and all that stuff. I got a very nice email saying that they were on thier way, the arrived very quickly with some cleaning and use instructions.

Was I nervous about putting a check for over $600 in the mail to someone I don't know...ummm..YEAH! Let me say that the transaction was smooth, informed and easy. The Boobs For Queens guy is friendly and informative.

A Few Points:

They are HEAVY - the large size weighs over 16 punds (may not sound like much until you strap them on) I dont know about the smaller size, but there's no way you could plan to wear these without some sort of support. I made a quick "sling" of sorts, but found that a very revealing bra worked better (go figure).

The Holister Medical Adhesive is just okay. I think you have to be careful not to use just any adhesive, but this one is so expensive, I might skip it and look for other alternatives. I think it was $25 for a very small can (smaller than a deoderant can for sure - maybe about half the size)

I couldn't sweat anymore. I jump around like a chicken on a hot plate when I perform and I get winded and sweat like a beast. Having these things on couldn't make me sweat anymore, so I'm not sure how anyone else will fair with them on.

I've worn them thru two entire shows - both jumping around and emcee-ing thru the whole show. I found that I didn't have to wear a HUGE amount of jewelry to cover the neckline, but it did help to have a couple of things on to hide just in case the adhesive came loose. It also took me a few minutes longer to get changed between numbers. I pride myself on being a quick change artist, so this was a little blow to my plans for the night. I was in the dressing room a lot longer than I expected. I'm sure this will subside as I become more accustomed to them.

The first time I wore them i sprayed the whole thing with adhesive - Don't do this. There was really no point as the adhesive isnt so amazing. The bra held them up in place and the second time I wore them, I just sprayed the neckline with adhesive and it worked well. Still had to retack it a few times, but no big deal. The instructions that came with them suggested using GooGone to remove the adhesive. I did this, even on my freshly shaved skin and didn't have any trouble. Might wanna be careful if you have sensitive skin - I have medium-sensitive skin and it was totally fine. No redness or anything to worry about.

The Response: You would have thought that I invented them. They were WELL rewarded and I've named them Mary Kate and Ashley. People thought I had duct-taped my chest - that they were implants and EVERYONE wanted to touch them. When you smack them, it sounds like you're smacking skin. I'm gonna tell everyone I got them in Chicago while on a Boob-Buying Trip.

They are HUGE on me and I am far from a small person - in flip flops I'm over 6'2" and i'm push at the 300lb mark all the time....so, keep that in mind if you order them.

I'll keep you posted as I wear them thru all the gay bars in the midwest

Smooches

16 pounds??? I dont know that I could even hold my head up wearing those. There has GOT to be a lighter silicone they could use.

I've had my BFQ's for almost 2 years now, and I love them. I basically wear them all the time I'm out in drag (so you know people are definitely saying that I got a boob job!). Anyhow, I do agree that the boobs are heavy. I got them before Brad make updates and modifications to them, so I am experiencing more and more trouble with the velcro. I use the Hollister adhesive along with cute support bras. I don't dance a ton (still working on that), so I haven't had too much trouble, however they do cause you to sweat quite a bit. If you're on my friends list on myspace you can see pics of me in my boobs. I love them and I definitely saw a difference in my tips after I got them...

I'll be getting these bad boys probably this week. Although they are pricey, heavy and not the most convenient, I think it is the only way to go for a realistic, non-drawn on or pushed up look.

[Penny Tration]

Thank you thank you thank you.....they are pretty incredible. I didn't know that there were imposters out there. I have to say - that I've been thrilled with how they look and the response I've gotten from them. Everyone seems to think they're mine (smile).

It took me a while to save up for them - but its been well worth it.

Hey y'all! Glad to read other people's posts and comments I tried to follow Penny's example and post some pics, but I can't for some reason. I have the boobs on in my icon pic here and if you'd like to see more of them, hit up my myspace page (myspace.com/sasharenee). Can't wait to hear more feedback from y'all...

[TaylorLeeSkyy]

so....i ordered my boobsforqueens and have had them for awhile and have never worn them for a performance. i decided they were too big for me. i got the medium sized ones, im pretty sure they are equal to about a double d. i got the tan white color. they are awesome, they just aren't for me as i dont really want to rework all my costumes.
anywho....im thinking about selling them. if anyone is interested email me @ kenyon_lasseter@yahoo.com

thanks!

[Penny Tration]

awwww - I'm sorry you haven't enjoyed them. Mine have totally paid for themselves already! Good Lord, you'd think I invented cleavage!

I'm sure you'll have no problems finding them a home. Remember, if it's not a perfect match to your skin color, you can cover them in makeup (smile)

smooches,

Ok...so now I'm experiencing a new problem with my BFQ's (Boos for Queens). I love these things and am rarely caught in drag without them. Anyhow, I wore them out last Sunday to a function during the day (let's not even talk about day drag). Anyhow, because of the swealtering heat, I was sweating a lot and the adhesive starting losing its hold. Anyhow, I made it work. Here's the problem:

When I got home at the end of the night and took the boobs off, I started to notice that the velcro was becoming seperated from the backing. You can see where the thread is loosening up. I think I'm going to have to go to Home Depot and get some stronger (like industrial strength) velcro. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Also, sometimes I feel like they hang to low sometimes, so when I wear a support bra, it causes the neckline to loosen up. Sharon/Brad (the creator of BFQ's) has told me that I can cut them and trim them more to my body and that I can also remove and reapply velcro after cutting the neckline down, but I'm afraid I might ruin my boobs. Has anyone else had similar experiences with their BFQ's?
