The New Suit

Little Bug loved my new tank suit and asked if it was OK is she bought the same. I thought the garish colors were what I get for buying online.

I had the privilege of enjoying a visit to the beach last week near Destin, Florida. I wore my first 2-piece since high school and except for the broken blood vessels, sagging boobs and grey hair it looked pretty good.

I also bought a new tankini. Actually, I only ordered a top, apparently, so I had to find a bottom that matched, which, speaking of garish colors, Lands End was happy to provide. It fit fine until it got wet then it sagged off my butt like a pantload. Good thing I was drunk when we went to get in the hotel hot tub and that no one knew me. Is sitting in a hot tub during a thunderstorm stupid??? Definitely yes, but it was awesome.

Speaking of new suits we have a very large (think tall, broad) woman at the Y now that is less than modest, walking around in her wrinkled altogether and it's so out there we turn away. Until I was alerted by Sharin' this week that we may have a trans gender member. We haven't yet checked her out so now I'll have to look and see if all her parts are acceptable for the women's locker room. Talk about having a "new suit". My gym is so white and straight it's easy to find the marginalized, and also fun to have someone new to whisper about. Her pool name, FYI, is Butch.

There's nothing like a new suit. It can make you excited to go to the pool, it can make you feel younger (even if you don't look it), and it can even transform you into the opposite. Two of us in the same suit? - now that's a team. I hope Butch doesn't order from SwimOutlet.com.
