Why Bother? (Warning…Pink bits)
Posted by: SB&C on: May 27, 2009
I seriously can’t see the point.
Actually – sorry, let me rephrase : I can see two *ahem* “Points” but in neither case, does their appearance resolve the Orange cobweb that my mind has fractured into.
The purpose of swimwear – and bikinis, ever since Event Bravo at Bikini Atoll (If you like, I can make a joke about the WWII bar being called “Cross Spikes” and the fact that this girl’s nipples are, for some God only reason, poking through the strategically placed motifs…) seems to be to allow women and men to cavort at the beach without fear of arrest for indecent exposure or sunburn through over- exposure.
So in this Orange, Oh so Safety Orange, String bikini thing, where not only is the state of depiliation (I nearly said delapidation… That too could be inspected I guess!) of your mons is free for even the most unwilling of voyeurs to voy, but you run the very real risk of having your nipples sunburnt and a streak across your middle… Not.

this has been crocheted in secret by someone whose mum has told them, no, you can’t have a bikini this summer!
ok – off to remove eyeballs with kitchen implement now

besides the normal ick factor of a crochet, ORANGE FROM 1975 ‘bathing suit’. I’m having horrified visions of ‘this is what they are doing to the poor children of rape victims in Serbia’ vibe. What the heck were these people thinking?

Gives a whole new meaning to “string bikini”. A little breeze and labia and all will be on display.

I’m going to make myself one of these babies and wear it when I milk the goats. That should set the neighbors to talking. Especially since I’m 54 and gravity is no longer my friend!

You might as well lay out naked, you’d get about the same coverage!
What’s with the extra wrap around string on the bottom part? Did the designer grossly overestimate the width of that little model’s waist?

It looks a lot like the old cat’s cradle string game. Makes me want to grab it and slip it neatly onto my index fingers and thumbs. And then toss it in the trash.

eeww this brings tears to my eyes just thinking of all that wax! Not to mention the sand, and the seaweed, one wave and the thing would look like marine rope!

Oh my gosh I can’t stop laughing, and Sherry go for it girl just the thing to add a little lift to that nasty gravity.
My one thought keeps running through my head: Just when I think I have seen it all along comes_________!

Is it supposed to be finished? I have some tiny, tiny triangles on my crochet blog that some people have said they turned them in to a bikini top. My thought process is they are making them larger, but now I wonder.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I desperately needed a laugh today. This fit the bill.

not only do the ribs stick out more than the pointy bits under the bikini – so do the HIPS!
mind you – would you feel like eating if you had to wear stuff like that all the time?!
G strings/thongs/whatever u call them sound like the most unhygenic/uncomfortable item of clothing out … how gross/disgusting would the bottom bit be after it had been worn all day at the beach?! … erk!
hmmmm … I can just picture it … teenage girl wears it to the beach, comes home before Dad gets home and sees what she wore (or didn’t wear) and heads for the shower … accidentally drops bottom bit on floor and her Dad gets home and finds it there, thinks it is a hair tie and picks it up off the floor and wonders why there are 3 ends … and notices that the shorter one, at the pointy end of the triangle, is all kind of … soggy … and has a sniff …
eeeewwwwww?
- you can now see what twisted thing my mind did when it had to entertain the thought of actually WEARING something like that?! LOL

Y’know, I think I’d rather go nude than be caught wearing that.
Oh, and while we’re at it, can we feed the model?
