des' failed swimsuit brigade attempt

I was all set to be a member of the Swimsuit Brigade, rallying to show that airbrushed swimsuit models resemble nothing even close to real women, but alas and alack, my swimsuit is too small. I guess I should have seen that coming when I didn't wear it for several years. But besides looking like I was trying to relive the glory days of my early twenties, it was sooooooooooo uncomfortable. Now it is sitting in a bag of clothes to be donated when we move.

But that shouldn't stop you from participating. Take a picture of yourself wearing a swimsuit with all your glorious feminine curves. Tag it with the words "swimsuit brigade." Be a role model for real women everywhere.
