MAY’S TRIUMPH tour

The Copenhagen Effect

“If I were a man, I would pack my bags and board the next flight out to Copenhagen. My goodness, everyone here is good looking.” I am on a press trip and online entrepreneur Anna Nooshin is in awe of the amount of head turners walking around in the Danish capital.

Other than being utterly beautiful, they happen to be unusually kind and friendly too. A very attractive young man took the time to snap a photo of our group while a lady who passed by, who was doubtlessly once a top model, tells us to keep an eye out for pickpockets who might see our bags, which we left carelessly on the floor, as bait. Do those even exist here? That’s what we were wondering.

Denmark, notably known to have the happiest population of the world, is the chosen venue for a party thrown by German lingerie brand Triumph. I’d there been before when a magical tape measure had treated me to an 89-centimeter hip diameter. The master in question had unequivocally had one too many Kronenburgs (because that’s what they like here and like I said: my kind of people) but I was ecstatic.

This time it was time to have my bra sized measured. You always hear stories about women who claim they have an A sized cup, but after having had a professional fitting, they suddenly have a double C. Well, those kind of wondrous stories don’t apply to me. I always had a very boring 75B and a pregnant friend of mine insisted she had a 100Z. That tape measure may have been magical for my hips, but it was a whole other story for my breasts.

Now getting back to my friend who insists she walks around with cup size 100 dubbel Z. She had her fitting first, and although she didn’t share her exact results, this exaggeration was indeed very much an exaggeration and she was very content with the actual result. And my results? Exactomundo. 75C. Finally. And I don’t think it has anything to do with the magical measuring tape.

I might not be a man, but I think I might just move to Copenhagen too. Anna, care to join me?
