Hang on a second while I finish shuddering in horror at the thought of trying on a bathing suit in a store dressing room…*shudder*…okay, I’m good. People, Swimsuit season is upon us. Soon our children will be begging us to take them to community pools, lakes, beaches, oceans, and we will look down at their smiling faces, drop our Krispy Kreme donuts, and trudge off despairingly to the swimwear section of our local department store.
I’ve got a website I want to tell you about that sells swimsuits in sizes 8 and up, so consider this your heads-up of WHAT KIND OF POST THIS IS. If you read through the end you’ll find an announcement about a very cool swimwear-related giveaway coming up, too
You might also have catalogs arriving in the mail with covers showing long-legged Amazon women wearing scraps of cloth held together with dental floss, and find yourself muttering a few choice grown-up words before you toss the catalog in the recycling pile. It’s okay, we all understand.
Swimsuits For All sells One Piece Swimsuits in sizes 8-16 and in Plus Sizes 16W-34W (the W stands for “Woman”, as in, I got me some Womanly hips and booty and need a fuller cut, thankyouverymuch). The thing about swimwear is, the size you are is not necessarily the same as the size you are in shirts or pants or dresses. I don’t know why, but I am always one size bigger in a swimsuit than I am in other clothes (*sob*).
Try to remember, it’s JUST A NUMBER. You are beautiful no matter what size your swimsuit is! Find a suit that really fits- if you have big boobs, get a suit with a built-in bra for support. Don’t like the looks of your hips or butt? Buy a Swimdress. Get a great-looking suit and try to remember that everyone at the pool/beach/gym is NOT looking at the cellulite on your thighs. And if they are, so what? You just work what you got, baby.
Coming up very soon on this here blog is a giveaway for a $100 Gift Card to use to buy swimwear from Lands End, so if you don’t already subscribe to my feed, you might want to do that so you don’t miss the giveaway! Links for either subscribing in a reader or by email are in the box in the header. And now, let us all hug each other and give each other the courage to march into badly-lit dressing rooms and try on swimsuits. Our poor water-deprived children are counting on us.

remake that just came out with Keanu Reeves, until I saw the original and read what critics are saying about the new one. I may change my mind when I see the remake on DVD, but the original? For a movie released in 1951, I was surprised at how it didn’t feel like a movie made in 1951. There’s so little action, yet it feels like an action movie because of the tension that builds between Patricia Neal’s and Michael Rennie’s characters. Both the Two-Disc Special Edition and the Blu-Ray disc are packed with bonus features, too. If you’ve never seen this classic movie, I recommend picking it up!![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=0217434c-b28f-4774-a412-c018a85b5a14)
