OK, dont hate me for this comment, but I think people that wear things that are “offensive” to others think they look okay. I mean, what if that girl at the grocery store (in the spandex) just lost 100 pounds and she hasnt been able to pull the spandex all the way up in years??? Maybe shes celbrating. I too, like Melisa said, do not fit into the runway samples that designers come up with. I did once though, I think it was back in say, 2nd grade. Hey brother, we come from the same gene pool. I know alot of people dont agree with this way of thinking, but hey, to each their own. I’m sure when Boy George looks in the mirror every day, he thinks to himself, “damn, I’m hot.” I, and many others like me, think he looks a little freakish, but hey–everyone is different.

(NukeDad) I agree with you; if she’s lost 100 lbs, more power to her, but I think the majority of the people I’m talking about are the ones that know they shouldn’t be borrowing their 5th grade sisters outfits; especially when they’re Seniors in high school. And remember; we’re “Big Boned”-it’s the Nordic ancestry.

Dude, we're going to the beach this weekend. I thought that Jaws sighting in Massachusetts was the scariest think to worry about. Apparently I forgot what beaches are really like these days. And how is that collapsible chair not crumbling under the weight of those torpedos? Oh, I am proud to report that just 8 weeks post-delivery I am going to be rockin' a two piece. My boobs can act as an umbrella, no? But just for the record, I am going to be nowhere near the 90% BMI. I just hope no one asks when the baby's due while I am carrying her. (NukeDad) Lori, We're all just glad that little Caitlin AND you both came through it OK. Have fun at the beach and tell Jeremy (and you too, now) to leave his laptop in the room. Sand and keyboards don't mix. Lori Bs last blog post..Confessions of An Addict

I completely agree. Many people do not really think about what they wear and if they should be wearing it! (NukeDad) I wish someone had told me that before I went to the grocery store in leg warmers and stiletto's. Jolly Green Dads last blog post..Kids keep you humble

Yes, yes, I got your point and TOTALLY agree.
You’re the one who asked me to type in my 2nd thought!

(NukeDad) You’re right. Just tryin’ to keep it all cool in case the girl in that picture shows up to comment.

Living near the beach as I do, there have been numerous occasion when I've wanted to gouge my eyes out with a toy shovel because of the vast amounts of pearly white flesh left marooned in the sand. I haven't worn a two-piece suit in years, out of respect for the general public. (NukeDad) You must be talking about Fabio, the uber-rich European who is 5'6", 228lbs who thinks he looks "Sexy" in a thong. That alone should be reason enough to reinstate the death penalty nationwide. Tara R.s last blog post..(not) Random Wednesday - limits

This is why I rarely go to the beach. For my own sake, and for the sake of others who might be blinded as the sun reflects off of my albino-white flesh. I'll just take the mumu, thanks. (NukeDad) I hear you Tom. When we were in Myrtle Beach, I changed the flight pattern for the airport when I took my shirt off. toms last blog post..That's My Boy!

Okay, since you asked….LOL

My second thought is this: I’m glad you said “90%” on the BMI comment, because although there are certain ladies that really shouldn’t be wearing a bikini* (see above, photoshopped or not: ha!), when I see someone who “normally” would wear a one-piece, rather than think, “Wow, she shouldn’t be wearing that” I think, “Wow, she’s really got self-confidence.” (and I am seriously thinking that, not sarcastically thinking that.)

As a person of larger frame and bigger size than average (though I could totally kick some a$$ because I’m very fit), I love to see larger women who have the confidence to carry off something that only smaller women are “allowed” to. And that’s my rant on society for today.

*and men who shouldn’t wear speedos.

(NukeDad) The point I was trying to make is: “If wearing a bikini, speedo or spandex is going to cause someone to projectile vomit; please don’t do it. Don’t pretend like you don’t know who you are.”
