When you are...

gorgeous
in a rush
hot

other?

Thunk went my jaw on the floor as I passed a mum pushing a pushchair dressed in nowt but a bikini and flimsy wrap.

I wouldn't do it, but I look like a walrus

Rhubarb · 05/07/2006 21:28

Hmm, just checked and boobs are still white. Not me then!

fennel · 05/07/2006 21:28

i would if i looked good enough. which i don't. by a long way.

we recently moved to Devon, people seem to go to work and everywhere in beach clothes. there's acres of tanned flesh and flip flops everywhere. it wasn't like that in Manchester.

MineIsBiggerThanYours · 05/07/2006 21:28

back boobs rhubarb honey, not black

Rhubarb · 05/07/2006 21:29

Oh! I read "black boobs"! BACK boobs! Err, I definitely don't have back boobs! I hardly have any front boobs!

NEVER, I repeat never, get a grip...

sfxmum · 05/07/2006 21:35

so you giggle and wiggle a lot then? this woman could barely string a sentence together not you surely

Posey · 05/07/2006 21:39

Semi-clad folk, topless men (and women, lets not be sexist) should be on the beach and back gardens only.
I also hate full blown dental floss bikini sunbathing in city squares, Not appropriate.

Rhubarb · 05/07/2006 21:49

Well I do have a multi-personality syndrome, it's not like it's my fault!

Blondilocks · 05/07/2006 22:08

I wouldn't. I think the only times I'd walk around in a bikini and sarong is in the back garden, at the swimming pool, or on holiday in a hot beachy place.

I have a reasonably suitable figure for a bikini but that's not the point. Would feel far too naked in front of lots of people! I would possibly wear a sarong (if not seethrough) with a vest top as that would be like wearing a skirt & top.

Bozza · 05/07/2006 22:12

Never.

I was a little bit unsure about wearing shortish shorts tbh. But decided that was OTT and did.

marthamoo · 05/07/2006 22:23

I saw a woman in Tesco this morning dressed in a teeny miniskirt and a bikini top that was two tidgy triangles held together with string. It's Tesco, FGS. Even if I could wear such an outfit without small children recoiling in horror I wouldn't - not in a supermarket. Simply not appropriate attire. Maybe Tesco somewhere in Cornwall, if you'd just come from the beach...but we're miles from the sea.

Bozza · 05/07/2006 22:27

Yes moo I saw similar in Matalan in Rotherham. And then went to Asda and there was a bloke without his shirt on and with his belly hanging out.
