I live in a swimsuit most of the summer. We go boating. Compared to others I see out there, I don't look too bad...let's just say I am not the worse looking one.
I see women in string bikinis that are contributing to visual pollution. I would never wear a suit like that, but I wear tankinis, swim dresses, swim shorts with rash guard shirts, and even two piece suits with bottoms that cover my whole tummy and butt cheeks with a bra top.
I have seen a swimsuit vendor on QVC modeling a swimsuit who is a plus size...good for her.
Women should be able to enjoy life no matter what their body type is and not feel ashamed of their body.
You could pay me $$$ to model on TV. I don't come cheap though.
