hello bathing suit
By Kittyboy, Wednesday, July 14, 2010, 2 commentsMy last blog post was entitled “bye bye bathing suit” and here is a quote from it: “I have now totally abandoned the swimsuit search …”
Two days after making that statement I purchased a new bikini.
But, you see, I really had abandoned looking for a swimsuit. Finding one that flattered me (as much as a couple of postage stamps held together with string can flatter) was pure chance.
The Dress on the Back of the Door
By Rachel Jones, Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 6 commentsA pink bikini I bought in the youth department at JCPenney sits in my underwear drawer. I’ve worn it twice in Djibouti.
Once as an experiment—would people gape at the stretch marks left by carrying twins to full term as much as I thought they would? And once to make a statement. I don’t know whether the statement was being made to myself or the American woman I was with, but it was this: I have a pink bikini from the youth department and I have stretch marks and I don’t care.
