"Le Droop, c’est chic, or it’s about to be.... Let’s be in no doubt that there are people whose job it is to work out where to take the boob brag next. We’ve seen it with Lily Allen, who has embraced all the breast exposure tricks in the past six months while staying one step ahead of the game. The Thirties lingerie look — an unstructured flat bra with a hint of underboob — was one that stood out recently, not least because it was in the droopy, natural-looks-best zone. Underboob is still top of the breast brag charts but, unlike a few years ago, the look now is soft and accidental, not travel-pillow taut under a tight cropped T-shirt.... Florence Pugh is keen on a nipple reveal under a gauzy red carpet dress, and thanks to her and one or two others nipples are no longer the marmalade dropper of nudity. But they’re not the breast flex of the moment. That’s Le Droop."
From
"Charlize Theron and why ‘Le Droop’ is the red carpet breast flex of 2026/Is this the ultimate boob brag?" (London Times).
Did you, like me, stumble over "nipples are no longer the marmalade dropper of nudity"? Apparently, "marmalade dropper" is a British expression. Something is a "marmalade dropper" if it would shock you to the point where you'd drop your marmalade-covered toast.

That’s is not at all what I would have guessed “marmalade dropper” means. I based my (wrong) guess on the fact that, in North America, marmalade is not particularly well-liked.
There is an intricate semiotics to women's displays of breasts, belly, and groin. Sometimes I think I almost understand it.
There was a time, 1980 or so, when prominent nipples were fashionable. I remember walking through the Juniors department of Dayton's department store in Minneapolis, and all the teen-age girl mannequins were showing full Farrah Fawcetts.
All I can say is, I'm all for it, both of them. And ladies, remember: Wide lapels and three buttons are so passé.
Tangerine trees and marmalade tits
Hey! My boobs are down here.
Perhaps this new direction (down) of boob display has something to do with the fact that Charlize, Gwyneth, and Cate, though still an eye-full for this septagenarian, are no longer the perky ingenues
of 20-30 years ago.
Marmalade dropper refers to a woman's lactating breasts that produce the sweet milk of mother.
As for le natural, organic is trending.
Jamie Leigh Curtis once said that her ample bosom was like her hair. Sometimes she wore it up, and sometimes she wore it down.
WHY I AM A PIG (Item #943)
Last night, after the WHCA shooting, Fox News had various of its correspondents who were on the scene reporting live afterwards, and, of course, they were in their ballroom best.
So, up comes Jacqui Heinrich, who, as the next president of the WHCA, was right up there on the dais with all the high value targets. There weren't too many places to hide up there, and I'm sure the poor woman must have been absolutely terrified when the shit went down.
So, she appears on screen, and my immediate reaction was "Yo Jacqui! Nice rack! Who knew?" because she always dresses so business-like when on air.
Well, one more item for the confessional. OK, straight guys, you watch the clip and then you tell me if your reaction wasn't a "Blezz me, foddah, fur I have sinned" moment.
Breasts are too common. The best you can do is, say as a violin soloist, have your gown occasionally bow out and expose more breast that is normally covered. An alert TV crew can keep the men glued to the television for a whole concerto.
I lived in the UK for many years (decades) and never heard the term "marmalade dropper". Did you know that the Japanese have been dominating the competitive marmalade world for years? They seem to do everything to perfection.
Sarah Chang Sibelius Violin Concerto in D, has the breast thing down right.
It is in our male genetics to appreciate breasts and the breast/waist/hips ratio. Check out prehistoric clay figures of women.
It may be in women's genetics to check out the competition. I think that women pay more attention to the "sexiness" of other women than men do. We check it out and move along. They ponder.
Women with breasts? If it were not already Her choice, men would invent them. Marmalade droppers, that is.
And here's the root of fashion. All women have 'em, many women want others to look at 'em, but getting attention requires changing 'em somehow.
They change 'em but always try to keep 'em youthful and healthy. I await the return of the Dagmar.
My sweet spot is a breast that can hold a Ticonderoga pencil horizontally while still looking up at me.
Meh. Fashion can only take you so far. It’s about time for women to up their game. Maybe take a clue from that triple-threat B-girl in “Total Recall”.
