Well ladies, the season we dread all year long is upon us…..bathing suit season. The time of year when we fast for three days, guzzle a pack of diuretics, and head to the department store prepared for the search of a lifetime, for that “golden” suit, which will magically transform all our assets… into gold.
We know for sure we’ll try on more suits than we did wedding dresses, and that the decision will take us longer than it did to name our first child. Because let’s face it….this is going to cling to our body like saran wrap, showing every bump and bulge. We don’t want to give anyone nightmares.
It would be nice if the department stores aided us in our search, by putting up fun house mirrors (making us look like tall waif models) and replacing those harsh dressing room lights with candlelight.
And if it’s true, as the media portrays, that Americans are getting more and more obese, why are bathing suits using less and less fabric? Is this some kind of sick joke? On any given day, how many supermodels have you seen on the beach?
And ladies may I just add a word of caution: Swimsuit fabric is designed to be stretchable, but it has limits. Please do not surpass them! You would not load your car with more than it can carry, do not do this with your swimsuit! Whether you’re a size 6 or 16, we do not want to see things hanging out where they’re not supposed to be! So buy accordingly. Stop traffic another way--not by flashing your goods.
