Have You No Shame? a.k.a. You're Lucky I Don't Have a Photo

So, I've written before about how much time we spend at the pool, chilling in the coolness while the rest of the city is steaming in the 95 degree weather.  Not to rub it in, or anything.

But something I just can't get over every time we've gone is the fat girls in the bikinis. 

It brings to mind a comedian I saw years and years ago.  (I wish I could remember who it was, I'd insert a YouTube vid here.)  He talks about these woman with rolls all around their backs, stomach hanging over their waistline, and he wonders,
At what point does she look in the mirror and say, "Man! I look good!"
Billy says he thinks it's just the style these days to wear a bikini no matter how big you are, but I just don't see how that ever made it past the fashion police.

Call me old fashioned, but I'm still interested in a bathing suit that hides the flaws and flatters my figure. 

I'll go for the solid black tankini, thank you very much!

  1. I went to the pool yesterday and saw the same thing. I couldn't believe the women wearing bikini's. I think the worst was a woman who was 9 months pregnant wearing one. I'm sticking to my black tankini too.

  2. Well, at least they have confidence in their bodies, I guess.

    Not that I agree with most popular fashion trends - especially this one.

    Never understood that one either. I now have a tankini (blue one!) too.

    As a matter of interest to you have people (large or small) who wear high rise thongs with low waist trousers, so when they bend over you can see well, pretty much all of the unforementioned undergarment?
