G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

I bought a one piece bathing suit today, it's been a long time since I agreed to that.  And trust me, it is not about modesty because when all is said and done with all the riding and pulling and compensating by making the legs high-cut they don't cover much more than the rest.  And even when they do cover you up more than most the consequent pushing out and over of your skin through various seams - much like sitting on a hammock - can be much more frightening than just baring it all in a bikini.  So I guess I better say that I gave into it.  I had to, it's absolutely glamorous.....and all white. 

 Ahh, the all white bathing suit.  A feat many have tried but usually fail to achieve.  In fact, I have always had a specific aversion to white bathing suits after a traumatizing elementary pool party.  My friend Naoma hosted it for her birthday and she had an all white bathing suit, only she had developed MUCH more quickly than the rest of us and it was definitely see-through and I couldn't shake it until today.  But there it was on the rack of my local TJ Maxx just begging to be tried on so I indulged it.  And the moment I put it on I felt the opposite of what you normally feel in a one piece, just supported.  But I felt so much more than that.  Suddenly I was on the French Riviera wearing high heels and a big floppy straw hat with my bathing suit.  It was....magical.  So I brought it home with me and took it out for show at my ultra glamorous complex pool.  And when I closed my eyes and drowned out the large polynesian family from my hearing I could almost smell the ban du soleil and white diamonds perfume swirling around me.  I looked for a picture on the internet to show you all because I was not going to take a picture of myself in it, and for the first time EVER I can say with complete confidence that I look better in it than the model:

I don't know how, but she just doesn't do it justice.  It was just made for me.  I can't promise anything, but check back again and there might be an updated picture of me for comparison.  Maybe.  That's how good it makes me feel.
