I wore a bikini and nothing happened...

[i-need-a-martini]

Love this article.

Big girls sets a goal to wear a bikini next summer. Everyone assumes she is planning to lose weight. Nah - the goal is simply to...WEAR. A. BIKINI.

Personally I like seeing big girls in bikinis. I hate it when they cover up with shorts and nonsense like that.

Good on her!

An extract:

The reason these people do not want to see a fat body in a bikini is because traditionally, that garment is something a woman earns by proving herself attractive enough to exist. If fat women begin wearing them without shame or fear, what's next? Will they have self-esteem? Will they demand respect? Then what will keep them in their proper place? How would conventionally attractive people judge them?

That thread wasn't so long ago, she-el. I thought elephants had a long memory?

Only for things that are important, Icy. Could you quote verbatim from a thread that died a week ago and in which you had never even participated.? I'm really impressed.

It was a pretty awesome piece of lateral thinking too, as it wasn't even Buzz who made that comment in the Undies thread.

No but if I remembered it from a thread not so long ago I could certainly search for it and C&P the sentence in question as a verbatim quote.

Ah, LT as usualy  your friendly comments warm the cockles of my heart. And I bet you'd look gorgeous in a bikini.

If only all women could be as comfortable in their bodies as the women who wote the article.

it's still all about sun protection for me.

Remember  Gidget's friend, Larue, she wore a full length kaftan with enormous hat for sun protection.

That about sum's up my wardrobe at the waterside.
