Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Pretty sure I've not had bao.
A rash just blew up on my ankle. I have no clue. Haven't eaten anything new. Maybe something bit me when I had the cats out on the deck earlier? Applied cortaid and my surefire itch-killer, cutter skinsations bug spray. Off Skintastics or whatever is the same stuff. I have no idea why it is so effective, it isn't marketed as such. Straight aloe doesn't help, the only other possible ingredient is DEET.
Either an epic turf war is happening at Union Memorial Hospital, or some locals discovered their firecracker stash. I suspect the latter, but it is kinda nuts!
I just bought a bikini from Lands End, from the "Canvas" section of the site ( = J. Crew wannabe.)
I may have developed some bikini anxiety in my old age, but if I never wear it, it was only $15. Here's the top: it feels very naked on me! [link]
Hah! Turns out it was the Hopkins fair kickoff. My echolocation skills aren't all bad!
Now I would like to buy a bathing suit. But the one I have is fine! I only wear it a couple of times a year anyway! Ah well.
My swimsuit is boring and practical and smooshes everything just right [link] in pink, and I paid less for it at keifer swim shop. Actually, speedo does make pretty suits I'd consider getting [link] [link] . If I ever need one for something other than laps.
I have a swimsuit obsession. Especially two pieces. For the amount of time I don't actually spend in the water, I have an insane number of them.
I AM buying a suit this year. The one I have is a cast-off of a friend's and it's 5 years old and no support. I think I am going to buy a two piece tankini from Newport News; I am never doing to have a non-underwire suit again.
I'm thinking this [link] in black. I've never spent more than $30 on a suit, but considering I go to the pool with M a LOT more in the last 2 summers, and a suit lasts me at least 5 years, I think I am ok with it.
Whereas I swim everyday, and have, um... 3 suits. All boring like the one linked. 2 retired, but kept just in case of primary suit failure. Or, you know, lost luggage.
If you want something that will last for-freaking-ever, go with the polyester suits. But matters less if you aren't frying it in chlorine on a weekly basis. Mine last about 6-7 months before things start sliding around.
