Bathing Suits

[spectral]

Re: Re: A Point of Reference

I have only seen one other man EVER who could carry off a Speedo with the style and grace and hot looks that is required...how about if you send me a picture and you can be the SECOND man that I have been able to gaze upon.

I don't know, does TV count? Some of the Olympic swimmers pull it off just fine. Maybe it's the bathing cap and goggles that do it for me

As for me: I wear purple swim trunks my ex-girlfriend outgrew. No liner, though. <shrug> I grew up swimming all the time, so I'm not yet used to this whole "bathing suits are a fashion accessory" thing. I'm pale now, after way too many months of winter, but tan pretty dark. Gotta be careful not to get ugly tan lines.

What kind of suits do I like to watch? I like trunks on guys, mostly. Speedos are, I agree, hard to pull off (er, um, you know what I meant...) As for girls, I particularly remember one suit that had a bikini top and a black bottom with a boyish cut to the legs, almost like a pair of short-shorts. But maybe it was the girl wearing it that caught my attention...

I grew up as a competitive swimmer...I can't wear anything but a Speedo (and Nike now, too) One piece or two, it doesn't matter much to me.

I like board shorts on a guy, I suppose...

Vilac, you can hang out here.

I used to hang out...but now I wear a Speedo.

What, Speedos make you stand up tall and proud?

I am 100% pasty butt-white from head to toe, and no amount of sun'll change that. This is my swimsuit for this year:

I am absolutely going to have to haunt the beaches of San Diego looking for this suit!

Shorts, watch, and a smile. As for what I prefer my lady to wear... well that would be up to her... I like bikinis, hi cut, with a thong bottom but you don't see too many of them around our shores...

I prefer a two peice, skimpy, but no thong. As was mentioned previously by another, they are reason for being removed from the beach. Perhaps if I had my own pool, I would splurge on one.

Anyway, my current two suits of choice are: a red two piece string bikini, complete with bottoms that tie on the sides, and only have the bare minimum of fabric to cover them. The top has the little slide triangles that cover the front, but leave the sides more or less exposed, and only two skimpy strings holding it on.

Me 2nd one is a dark aqua color, two peice boy shorts with a triangle slide top. There is no design or pattern on either one. I prefer to let me make the statment, not my suit.

For the summer I wear a one piece and my colors are usually dark ones , like blue, black and some dark reds.

I just love summer I get to shed the winter clothes and icky winter skin... come summer I am back to my original buttery coco skin color.

Last summer we had our own pool so we did shed the swim suits @ times but they were always handy just in case the pool man or garderner came by without us noticing.


As for men , I like mine in board shorts... *YUMMY*

Ahhh bathing suits . . . In my own pool in my backyard, they are optional, the option ususally sans! When I do venture the 40mins to the lovely Florida coast I typically wear long baggy short suits. The waist band tied tight just below the top of my hips. I play alot of beach volleyball, and this is usually my attire for those games. Perhaps the addition of a t-shirt if the sun is being particularly brutal or it's an evening game and it's getting cool.
