She wore an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
I have just found my new favorite fashion company -- and of all things, they make swimwear! Check out the beautiful model front and center on their main page (and also in their print ads). She has an unairbrushed tummy roll. And moving along to page two, you'll find even more real women with real bodies in bikinis. The whole site is like this. With swimsuit season almost upon us, I know who I want to receive my $$ the next time I purchase one! Hurrah!

UPDATE: Oh how cute -- check out their honeymoon swimwear line!



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Oooh, NYC stores!!! I've got to check that out next week. Thanks Robyn, I was trying to shop for suits yesterday ... but found nothing.

I've always loved her swimwear, but never really tried it because I HAVE to try stuff like that on before I buy. I can imagine going through like 10 returns before I found the one that fit properly.
Sigh. Nice to see normal people there too!

Just lovely and about time! Thanks for the link.

I understand the intent of the article that Kitty posted, but they seem to be just promoting the fact that her suits "are the choice of supermodels and on the cover of Sports Illustrated". Thumbs down to Monster.com for not promoting the company's *real* draw.

I echo what sphinxy said...about damn time. That Asian woman drew my eye first, though...I have problems. :}

With summer coming up (pretty much already here, in FL) I'm guessing we can expect you to make such a purchase and subsequently take a few pictures? *drool* =)

You'll just have to live with last year's for now...

A combination of this post and the posts about the Boobie-thon lead me to believe that this would be a perfect theme song for this years' Boobie-thon.

Wotcha think? :D

Also, I could probably combine that music file with some of last years' pics to make some sorta Flash movie for this years' event.

Woohoo, REAL women! And real women looking damn happy with themselves to boot.

Ooh, must bookmark! Thanks for the link. :)

Doh, it occurs to me that the link in my earlier post kind of blended in a bit too much. Here's the music I was thinking could be used as a sort of unofficial theme song for Boobie-Thon 2:

Kickass suits and real girls wearing them!! Bravo for finding that! Does that mean i have to be proud of my belly roll?

¤ ¤ credit: kimmie | 04.19.03 at 08:36 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

I love it! I'll definitely be keeping them in mind next time I need to purchase a swimsuit. It's nice to have people show someone larger than a size 2 in their ads. :)

Sites like that make me feel sooo beautiful, rather than 'I need to lose some weight.' Thanks for the new shopping bookmark Robyn. :-)
