summertime...

with two water-related long weekends planned and the summer quickly approaching...i decided to start looking for an appropriate bathing suit. i thought it would be somewhat easy. i thought i could find something. but no. instead it sends me spiraling towards depression.

this particular comment from a dr. on breastcancer.org was especially unhelpful:
"Finding a flattering bathing suit is a challenge for just about any woman! "

what i tend to forget is that breast cancer related things tend to be designed for older women. apparently older women who have had mastectomies like bathing suits with little skirts or low-rise legs. and ridiculous patterns. i have found SOME bathing suits that i MIGHT actually be caught dead in...but then i see that they are best for size B/C cup or they start at size 10 or 12. or they are $140.

can you imagine me lounging around the pool in vegas in THESE?














...or imagine if this could work???!!!
