    I have never, in my entire life, worn a bikini. I am contemplating changing that.

    I sort of hate the way the only swimsuits you can find in stores are either bikinis or fugly one-pieces with skirts. Even though I know I should be less body-conscious, it feels like they're designing suits only for skinny people with flat tummies. And if I did work up the confidence too wear one, and found enough sunscreen to cover all that exposed skin, it still wouldn't be that practical for water-skiing. (When I was 11 or 12 and learning to slalom I wiped out really bad once and lost the bottoms of my two-piece. I was in the water so nothing showed, but it was still humiliating). I just want a find a variety of cuts and styles for cute one-pieces--please!

    "Anyone with a tummy" shouldn't wear a bikini? Oops. Sometimes I feel self-conscious when I wear mine. Then I think "Fuck. This." and continue to wear it. It's been a pretty good life strategy for the past few years.

    I'm all for wearing the bikini, but when you're as white as Frosty the Snowman and you got cellulite and a non-flat stomach, you're going to burn people's retinas.

    @Plate2.18: In the seventies, skin tone standards were different. There's a conversion you have to do to modern US colors, but not everyone knows about it. A color "peaches and cream" in the UK in the seventies actually translates to "apricot parfait" in today's sizes.
