Of How I Laughed Till I Nearly Threw Up

I laughed at the fact that there is a supply of these somewhere... but then I wanted to cry when I thought about an actual demand for something like this...

'Modest Swimwear' is still fresh on your mind away from Moscow I guess. Wow, I understand the laughing the hurling and the crying.
P.S. I still take offense at any sort of button connection with me. It does make me miss the Tankerbell though.

On the previous page of this website, there is the following:

"WholesomeWear is a modest line of clothing for "wherever"....Swimwear that "highlights the face, rather than the body" includes an undergarment with colors at the neck and shoulders to draw the eye to the face."

First of all, they seem to be quoting someone who famously said, "wherever."

Secondly, I think the girl's face is the last thing I would look at if I saw this on the beach.

It makes me want to write a short story about a girl who drowns after being pulled out to sea by a rip tide. With her arms and legs too tangled and weighed down by her WholesomeWear swimsuit to swim, she sinks, however modestly, to her watery grave.

One more thing. The main page has words on the background that are supposed to describe the product. One of these words is "affordable". Affordable my ass! Look at those prices!The large girls have to shell out a hundred bucks for the princess cut. Sheesh!

Popester,
Sad to say, swimsuits of all stripes and spandeces are costing a hundred bucks these days. So, comparing a bikini from Banana to a bathing costume from ATI the price per square inch is at least remotely "affordable" from the latter.
I must say, Tanks, that this post caused a sentimental flashback to freshman year. What I wouldn't give for another Matt Rae declamation...

oh. my. gosh. this is amazing. when i went snorkeling in egypt there was a muslim lady looking like a jellyfish with a lot of black fabric swirling around her. i felt sorry for her, much like i do for these homeshooled girls and their paranoid mommies.

That was hysterical. I can not believe that someone would wear that. It is just confining.
