two-pieces always look better than one-pieces. though I like some retro-y one-pieces.

retro one piece yes. two pieces do not look good on me I don't think.

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

thanxxx for the add! ;-)

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

honestly, I think I prefer two pieces on every body type because one pieces tend to do weird sausage-y things with the body.

― sanskrit, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

remember when some model wore that crazy thing in an '80s SI swimsuit issue, and people were agape asking "what IS that?"

monokini people

― sanskrit, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

also, I do not understand bandeau tops. halter tops are the way to go.

it looks like something a socially-conservative grandmother would put on her bat-faced and developmentally precocious granddaughter.

I think it looks great.

That one might be a little too self-consciously vintagey for me, but I'm very fond of all the styles at www.mybabyjo.com.

i got red, too, laurel. i say we go out with matching parasols.

And hibiscus in our hair? Done and done.

― Laurel, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel - those suits are fantastic. I have also never worn bikinis and think I may have just found my summer 2007 swimsuit thanks to you.

― ENBB, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

we can kick sand in the faces of overly-tanned girls in neon butt floss bikinis.

-- remy bean, Thursday, May 17, 2007 11:43 AM (30 minutes ago)

i really like it!

i haven't bought a new bathing suit in years and i feel a bit bewildered. i tried on a one-piece last week and the bottom part looked good but i have a bit too much going on "upstairs" for the top part. i lost a bunch of weight recently and maaaybe if i suck in my gut i can make a conservative bikini work.

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

I prefer to be either fully clothed or nude on the beach (ie, get ready, San Francisco).

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

jbr, i found a site recently (exelnt.com) that i might eventually order a "tankini" from if i can come up with the cash. they do suits with real underwire bra support.

― lauren, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

I would swimming with all this white girls.

marilyn-style suit: y/n?

Model is SECRET UGLEY?

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

I like it but fear the Marilyn could potentially wind up looking like an old lady bathing suit.

― ENBB, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

that's kinda what i'm thinking too.

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

that's a big problem with retro-style suits.

― lauren, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

Fifties-style suits are admirably apt for women with hips and busts - what's not to like? I'm not too keen on the skirted ones, though.

― Michael White, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, actual skirts are a bit much, plus when wet they just hang horribly and drip everywhere! The boy-cut suits with ruched fronts hold a little extra water too but at least they're sturdy enough not to sag, and there's not THAT much extra fabric.

― Laurel, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

The Marilyn suit looks like too much fabric on a skinny girl. Maybe it's the wrong size for her. If the model were bigger, the suit would look better IMHO. There's too much skirt on it; it makes the model look like she has no real curves underneath. The blouseyness of the top also seems like it's trying to make a flat girl look like she has something when she really has nothing up top. I thought swimsuits should show off curves, not cover them up!

How about the real Marilyn suit?

I could wear my old speedoish thing to Thursday night drinx? does Zeitgeist have a dress code?

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

Ehhh... it's not the most tolerant bar on that side of Market, YMMV... Might I recommend Martuni's just up Duboce at Market? From there you can crawl to Moby Dick, The Men's Room, etc.

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

I think I'll save my crawling for, oh, The Eagle and Aunt Charlies. The beaches are too cold in SF for bareass anyway.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

Bikini for meeeee, if only bcz after 19 years of being forced to wear a one-piece as a Mormon I'm not spending all my time in shit stores looking for the nonexistent one-piece that doesn't look like it came from a retiree's catalog that also sells a variety of polyester jumpsuits.

― Abbott, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

Plus bikinis are fun.

― Abbott, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

guys I need a tan before I can even THINK about donning a bathing suit

― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

pfff, tans are for chumps.

― Will M., Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:40 (nineteen years ago)

I like the ones you showed Laurel, especially the red one. The way the zebra pattern hits on that one is really weird though.

I quit bikinis.

― jessie monster, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

bikinis are hott, but girls who can pull off a one-piece >>>> girls who can pull off a bikini

― max, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

"pull off" in the sense of "look good"

― max, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

tho i welcome the pulling off of bathing suits

― max, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

elmo, don't tan! Cancer.

I love my Irish pallor.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, well, when there are girls all around wearing spring break-style triangle-top bikinis and brown brown tans and implants and heels on the boardwalk and stuff like that, past a certain point I stop seeing them as bodies and start looking right past them, like they're advertisements. So a bikini on someone who could transcend that schtick and get my attention would prob be pretty hot, but the chances of that aren't as good as those of my checking out a stylish maillot or tank suit.

― Laurel, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

morbs, i got some mediterranean blood in me, the sun loves me (when I let it)

What: An employee at airline America West claimed that he was fired in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act after the company nabbed him with pornographic e-mail.

When: U.S. District Judge Neil Wake in Arizona ruled on Monday.

Outcome: America West won motion for summary judgment in its favor.

What happened, according to court documents:
Martin Sheville worked for America West as a load planner, calculating aircraft weights and balances, from October 1995 to December 2004. He agreed to the usual corporate boilerplate about not using his company PC for anything "sexual in nature."

But Sheville circulated racy e-mail messages to co-workers and one supervisor, including "Five Ways to Hypnotize a Man," depicting a voluptuous woman gyrating her naked breasts in five different directions. Another was "How to Get Men to Read the Sexual Harassment Policy," depicting a woman in a translucent tank top with, as the judge would later stress, "her nipples visible."

The irony was not lost on America West, which promptly investigated its employee for violations of the company's sexual-harassment policy. The probe unearthed a smoking gun: an e-mail in Sheville's in-box from two years earlier titled "Wicked Weasel," showing scantily clad women with nipples, pubic hair and genitalia visible. (Wicked Weasel is an Australian manufacturer of skimpy bikinis. It is unclear from the court opinion whether the clothing in question was being worn, removed or somewhere in between.)

After scrutinizing the "Wicked Weasel" image and other incriminating evidence, America West fired Sheville and the employee who had sent him the contraband. The airline also disciplined five other employees--but did not fire them--because their e-mail messages "did not contain frontal nudity."

Sending dirty jokes through work e-mail is hardly unusual, though getting fired over it does take some work. What makes this case odd is that Sheville filed a lawsuit claiming that he had been discriminated against because he has multiple sclerosis--he was diagnosed in mid-2000--and alleging that his termination violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.

...

One of Sheville's former colleagues even testified in a deposition that sending, receiving and viewing pictures of naked women on America West's computers during working hours was unexceptional, since "the whole time (he) was there, everybody was doing it...everybody saw it."

America West's managers, on the other hand, responded that "after reviewing the frontal nudity depicted in the (Wicked Weasel e-mail) and comparing them to the e-mails sent by other members of the department, none of which contained frontal nudity and most of which contained no nudity at all, (we) made the determination to terminate (the Wicked Weasel offenders) and to provide progressive counseling to the other affected members of the department."

that black one w/cherries(?) upthread is awesome

My girlfriend's cuzzz has a swimwear

― Drooone, Thursday, 17 May 2007 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

I love those retro suits but you need to be rocking the hot lil gothabilly girl look with the bangs and the dita von teise kind of thing, to really make it work. Which I just dont.

Christ I havent worn a swimsuit in years. I would blind everyone with my radioactively white skin :/

― Trayce, Friday, 18 May 2007 00:37 (nineteen years ago)

that black one w/cherries(?) upthread is awesome

Yeah totally otm I love it.

― Trayce, Friday, 18 May 2007 00:38 (nineteen years ago)

maaaybe if i suck in my gut i can make a conservative bikini work.

honestly, I think bikinis work better if you're not flat-stomached/super-thin. though apparently you're all a bunch of one-piece-wearers! those cherry print one pieces are cute, though.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 01:02 (nineteen years ago)

No disrespect intended to the various females in thread, but I can't be the only person that keeps reading the thread title as BATHING SLUTS.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 18 May 2007 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

another exception to my anti-one-piece sentiment, I think this cut is super-hot: http://www.katiemoubarak.com.au/images/collec1.jpg (not wild about the buttons, though). I saw a woman rocking that cut of bathing suit recently. I'd imagine you have to have hips to make it work.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 01:19 (nineteen years ago)

are y'all going to cocktail parties at the beach or something?

i am all abt hot pink string bikini this summer
but only at lakes
real swimming suits for the real swimming times+pools though

― rrrobyn, Friday, 18 May 2007 02:59 (nineteen years ago)

horseshoe's hourglass-cut suit is gonna leave a wicked tan line.

― goth casual, Friday, 18 May 2007 05:11 (nineteen years ago)

That's from the link I provided earlier.

― Drooone, Friday, 18 May 2007 05:14 (nineteen years ago)

The onepiece suits pro swimmers wear are so ugly and utilitarian. They remind me of horrible swimming lessons and the kids in school who were swim freaks who had permanently chlorinebleached hair.

― Trayce, Friday, 18 May 2007 05:40 (nineteen years ago)

I want that O CANADA swimsuit. Awesome!

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 05:41 (nineteen years ago)

-- Michael White, Thursday, May 17, 2007 12:52 PM (10 hours ago)

a man of excellent taste, mw is correct. only skinny, waifish girls look hott in bikinis, a well-designed one-piece, retro or not, is the way to go for the fleshy gal.

― gershy, Friday, 18 May 2007 06:37 (nineteen years ago)

in other words, banish all those 70s-style east german swim team one pieces

I shouldn't have clicked that Wicked Weasel thing. I don't think that it's 100% SFW!

There were too many cameltoes for my poor brain :(

― Trayce, Friday, 18 May 2007 10:10 (nineteen years ago)

but gershy that's not what Michael White said! i agree with horseshoe on these things.

what about men's suits? i sense a return to the shorter shorts after all these years. i'm on the lookout for a fletch-esque type of thing. enough with horrible long billabong bullshit.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 18 May 2007 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

only skinny, waifish girls look hott in bikinis

this is manifestly untrue! I mean, skinny, waifish girls frequently look lovely in them, depending on the bikini, but bikinis really flatter thicker girls! and so frequently one pieces squish thicker girls into a sausage-like column!

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

i have spent a good 30 minutes today searching the internet for images of chevy chase wearing shorts and have come up dry :/

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

i know what kind of suit you mean. i think.

― lauren, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

FYI neither Lauren nor I have rockabilly bangs, tattoos, or anything of the kind! At least I don't have any tattoos, I don't know whether Lauren does. But you don't have to have some kind of certificate of achievement to wear cute bathers.

Horseshoe I've been LOOKING for a good hourglass suit with those cut-outs but the one I found that I really liked was labeled "not for use in water" which is just I DON'T EVEN KNOW WAHT A BATHING SUIT IS ANYMORE.

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Re men's suits: you mean square-cuts? Awww yeah.

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

You mean like James Bond swim trunks?

― Jordan, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

laurel, you've never seen my tattoo? suffice to say that it does give me some rockabilly cred. oh, early 20s.

― lauren, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

jordan and laurel yes, although i prefer to think of fletch as my lodestar

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

okay baby phat makes some hideous stuff, but i think the woman who I saw who looked amazing in an hourglass cut suit was wearing some version of this one.

though the plunging neckline seems impractical for swimming. maybe "not for use in water" is code for "will fall off your body in water"?

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

ugh!

― lauren, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, I found one!

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

hmm. i feel like that would compress fat and push it out of the sides.

― lauren, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

lauren, I don't remember her version having the plunging neckline or the gold...thread-thingy around it. but it was white. and cute, I swear!

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

Me and the zebra-print, lately, I swear to god.

Oh that Baby Phat thing is atrocious, could nevar wear! I mean, congratulations to Miss Thing you saw who was rocking it, but not for me -- yes, I think that's EXACTLY what "not meant for use in water" meant, and that just doesn't work for me.

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

okay, I guess I'm just tacky. I can live with that.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

it's the gold thread thing that's causing me the most pain.

(also, there's something trannyish about kimora.)

― lauren, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

yes, kimora lee simmons modeling that suit is...unfortunate.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

enough with horrible long billabong bullshit.

seriously

― jergïns, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:28 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, Lub! To be perfectly fair my taste runs to the absolute opposite of bling and/or maximum exposure, so clearly the plungey spangly hotness is meant for someone else!

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

that's cool! I can see how the baby phat suit would not be for everyone, but I stand by my two-piece advocacy.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

It's definitely easier to find cute two-pieces than one-pieces, and it's really time for me to replace my seventh grade athletic swimsuit since I am actually going to a beach next week, but I am currently thinking nothing will be flattering so better to cover up. Basically my stomach is not flat and I don't have the chest to make up for it. (IMO, the cutest suit on here is the black cherry one, but it would only work for someone with a tiny waist like the model.)

― Maria, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

http://images.figleaves.com/product/220x308/r455575-p455610-front.jpg

Oh my. Somehow that picture gives the impression of nakedness more than a bikini would (though Wicked Weasel tries hard, cheeky little fella).

― Mark C, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

That's the point. Basically it says "I HAS A BELLY BUT U CANT SEE IT".

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

I like that the mybabyjo swimsuits all have tummy control. Sign o'quality.

I bought this one: http://www.yumdrop.com/i/360x540/Y505003.jpg

and this one: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodlgvw/V261663.jpg

I have no idea if I'll like either of them on, but I guess we'll see.

Fletch shorts or '40s military issue swim trunks?

luna, that top suit you got is so great that i would buy it even if it did look bad on me! (and i will consider doing so if i can in the next few days, where is it from?)

― Maria, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

omg Laurel, I love that one!

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

WHOA Laurel that black lacy one is amazing!

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

YEAH ME TOO BUT YOU CAN'T GET IT WET WTF

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

shit, that's the one that's "not fit for water." you should get it anyway and wear it everywhere. the office, the gym, the bar. so cute!

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Oh why the tease? Oh 'swimsuit,' why?

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

what happens when it gets wet??
disintegration?

― rrrobyn, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

changing back into a pumpkin?

― rrrobyn, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

hott

I really like the blue one w/the wrap arounds, too.

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

that would be my worry, yeah, otherwise I'd say just swim in it anyway.

xpost disintegration, I mean, not turning into a pumpkin. it would totally be worth turning into a pumpkin to wear that bathing suit.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

The tan lines would really be something.

― Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

That's the fun part!

i wish there was a non-creepy way of telling you guys about the lady who is 8-9 months pregnant and has been hanging out at the pool by my office all week in a blue string bikini and how radiant and comfortable she looks. it really is something.

― g®▲Ðұ, Friday, 18 May 2007 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

Pregnant women are often hot. That's not necessarily creepy.

Maria, this is the link for it: http://www.yumdrop.com/Swimsuits/Bikinis/Retro+Cherry+Bikini-Y505003/

gr@dy did u not see pregnant salma hayak on waht is awesome thread?

― deej, Friday, 18 May 2007 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

That model for the blue suit looks like she's got some kind of flotation device on her chest. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

― Beth Parker, Friday, 18 May 2007 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

I worked at a maternity clothing store so I could look at beautiful preggos. Sorry if that'screepy. But I was doing a good job with sales and i was the only one who could fit bras properly.

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

thinking of ordering this one. i'm wary of ordering clothing through the mail but it's worth a shot since i haven't liked anything i've seen in stores.

that black one w/cherries(?) upthread is awesome

My pulse seriously quickened a bit when I saw that picture.

― Sundar, Saturday, 19 May 2007 01:24 (nineteen years ago)

get bent you should order that one but only if you stand around the pool/beach in that pose

― max, Saturday, 19 May 2007 01:32 (nineteen years ago)

to each his own, jbr, but those vintage-y suits up thread are a lot nicer than that bikini

― bobby bedelia, Saturday, 19 May 2007 02:23 (nineteen years ago)

the cherry bikini is pretty cute.

i'm also thinking that i want to stay away from dark colors because they'll make my already ghostly skin look an even whiter shade of pale.

― get bent, Saturday, 19 May 2007 02:38 (nineteen years ago)

as long as you don't look like one of sixteen vestal virgins

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 19 May 2007 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

my suit came! and it looks good, way better than it does on that skanky model. maybe if i'm drunk enough on caipiroskas i'll take a pic on the beach in rio.

― get bent, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

seven years pass...

I am married to an attractive woman with a nice figure. When we go to the beach, she wears a one-piece bathing suit. Her desire is to not to display her body in such a way as to draw attention to it. She wants to enjoy the sun in the wind, but she also desires to be modest. I think that a one-piece bathing suit is a good compromise and shows reasonable judgment.

Good to have a .org not-for-profit view on bikinis.
