Just got back from Italy and .....

[quanglewangle]

..... not a single tankini to be seen.

Thank goodness.

Not many one-pieces either for that matter. Think I'll have to go out and buy a bikini.

Even old (ish) ladies like me in bikinis.

YOU SEE
it sonly the enlgisht hat dress liek they have had serious surgery to theri stomacha nd need to cover htee scars

lots of nice biknis on beach today

Sorry, did a runner for a while as broadband connection went awol for a day or two.

I think having dark skin helps though. My son and I shone like white fluorescent tubes, especially him as he has red hair. The bikini debate doesn't concern him over much though.

My one piece is like the M&S bandeau one on another thread but the middle bit isn't cut away quite so much. Very flattering. Strangely it is a M&S one too - 16 years old!! Aaahh, style doesn't go out of date.

Still think I'll get a bikini though. And some fake tan.
