Is it me, or is there something about a bathing suit that makes even the trimmest of women feel like we are being stuffed into sausage casing. Boys get to wear the equivalent of shorts into the pool, but as women, we are relegated to squeezing into tight spandex that reveals our every bump -- and what we had for lunch to boot.
Men don't have to shave "down there" to be presentable on the beach or by a pool. But Oh my God... have you ever forgotten to shave before a last minute dip in the pool. Talk about feeling the eyes of God watching you.
Anyway, as we are rapidly entering bathing suit season, and I am forced to shop for a bathing suit (our new pool will be done within the next 7 days) I am reminded of the horrific inequality of it all and was overwhelmed by the need to vent. Please feel free to join in!
But on a side note, have you seen the new Old Navy Madras Plaid commercial. LOVE it! Their last one with the striped shirt ( I think) was great too. Whomever is doing these ads is fabulous and should be given the highest praise for saving us from another season of Morgan Fairchild Old Navy Melo-dramas.

Re the new Old Navy TV spots.. I thought I was the only "geek".. I love the music, the movement and the "madras".. whoops, am I becoming a "retro" freak? ok ok , Freaks and Geeks..can you hum that with me?
I HATE bathing suits! It is one of the worst things to have to buy EVER! To get around it I have been going to the pool at night so I don't have to feel like a beached whale infront of stangers. (we have a pool in our complex)
Ummm that is just cause guys have given up caring what we look like to others, unless we are going to a public beach or whatnot. Plus we are too lazy to shop for bathing wear when plain old shorts will do fine.
