Bathing Suit Blues
By Jackie Papandrew, on Mon May 12, 2008 7:16am PDTI have to admit I admire men's indifference to bathing-suit reality. Every man thinks he looks good in his bathing suit - even those with enough back hair to weave a small rug and a beer belly of sufficient size to be a walking Budweiser billboard. I envy that kind of confidence. Almost every... Read More »

10 bathing suits that won't make you feel like a (mad) cow
By Jennifer Romolini, Shine staff, on Wed May 7, 2008 6:55am PDT"Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don't take it off until you're thirty-four." —Nora Ephron
For many of us, buying a bathing suit as we get older is akin to those dreams you have where you're somehow walking the halls of your high school naked—it makes us feel vulnerable and gross and anxious and brings up all sorts of anger-inducing body image issues. These days, when I look for a bikini, I'll often turn around, look down, and think, "Really, Ass? This is what you've decided to do? What about those 5 squats I gave you...

By Anne Fitzgerald, Elastic Waist, on Fri May 2, 2008 10:46am PDTThanks to Manolo for the Big Girl, for pointing out this new line of bathing suits from Monif C. When I saw the pictures, I said oh, wow, and when I clicked on the link, I said holy crap. Because holy crap, they are sexy. You're not going to swim any triathlons
in them, or do anything more than... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (6) | Blog

Plus Size Models on Catwalk
By cindyw1875, on Wed Apr 16, 2008 12:00am PDTI have been at many fashion shows and I have never seen any of size 12 or size 14 models. Designers have showed audiences their beautiful styles on skinny models but it is really unrealistic for the majority of our women (size 14 plus) to fit in the styles, because they have curves that...

Crave: Bathing beautifully
By Anne Fitzgerald, Elastic Waist, on Thu Apr 10, 2008 1:58pm PDTLand's End
used to be my go-to place for well-fitting, utilitarian swimsuits for
all sizes, and for that, I will always appreciate them immensely. This
year, though? Page after page of little skirts. Bathing skirts. Bathing
skirts make me mad, because they do not hide anything, and they... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (3) | Blog

Buy it now before you can't...Gap swim
By Jennifer Romolini, Shine staff, on Thu Mar 6, 2008 6:52pm PSTYou know how in September you start seeing really cute winter hats and you might like them but you don't try to buy one until your head's really cold in, like, early December and by then they're all sold out?
