Let's talk about ill-fitting bathing suits

I have these one-piece suits from the thrift shop because I refuse to pay big bucks for an item of clothing that's going to demoralise me, like a brand new suit with straps that cut into my flesh and make me look like a trussed pot roast. But these thrift-shop suits have foam-rubber bra inserts that make me look like I've got a piece of farm machinery under there. I have to keep readjusting the foam. Most of the time we go to the clothing-optional end of the beach, but sometimes the suit is called for. Anyone else have bathing-suit woes?

― Beth Parker, Friday, 5 August 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I thought it said "bathroom suites". I am obsessed.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:06 (twenty years ago)

Can you take out the foam?

My usual gripe is that swim suits are either a) so high-leg that your breasts are in danger of poking through the bloody leg holes or b) those low-leg shorts-style ones that inevitably lead to a horrific camel toe effect.

I do have a nice demure two-piece currently though.

That made me laugh out loud! Sorry!

My trunks fell apart whilst I was in the pool a few weeks back, people got to see more of my ass than I would generally wish. I choose to believe that they were shredded by the sheer pace of my Thorpedoesque freestyle rather than the combined forces of chlorine exposure and shoddy materials.

Somehow I knew this was a Beth Parker thread. All hail Beth Parker! Lurk no more. Once you start your own thread, you're hooked! A welcome addition to ILE.

As for bathing suits, now that I've got a double post-partum body in addition to a beer belly, I feel like a stuffed sausage in bathing suits. I've started swimming in Scott's boxer shorts and tank tops. Now I'm one of THEM.

And I think I know which suit you bought at the thrift shop. I fingered the foam the other day while browsing there. I hope that doesn't make you feel funny about wearing it.

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

Thank you! You can finger my foam anyday!
The high-leg suits, which are now showing up in a thrift shop near you, make you look like you're wearing a medical truss. A last-ditch uterine prolapse remedy. And if you've had enough kids, the stretch-marks on your sides are very nicely displayed. Sunblock only accentuates the glorius ripple effect.
Now I really should get to work. I just thought I'd drop this question like a little bomblet before I walked out the door so that I'll be sure to have lots of good reading when I return. I toil in the earth rather than the office, so am internet deprived while employed (but no more productive—the time-wasting ratio is the same in all jobs). See all you guys later!

― Beth Parker, Friday, 5 August 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

my swimming shorts come down to my knees but my cock still hangs out the leg.

― someone_else (g-kit), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Eek, I just got a very strong visual memory of Vic, my old rowing teacher, who wore VERY tight cycling shorts and when he was coxing for us [such a horribly apt word] his balls and/or cock would get squished out of one side of the shorts. And because I rowed at the front, I was forced to look directly at them, my face mere inches away. A treat.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

I have some x-rated swimming trunks at home - I don't think *anyone* has ever seen me wear them. Which is a shame as they were like 62 Euros or something.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

what does a one-legged pet rooster have to do with your bathing attire?

You rowed stroke that close to tighly wedged cock and balls.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

Archel, you are making me laugh loads today!!

― Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

a one-piece suit??? oh wait, these are lady suits. I was imagining a jump suit tailored to look like a jacket and pair of trousers.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

I did not want to use the word 'stroke' thank you Ed... or are you querying my rowing topography? It was a long time ago...

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

I rowed for my schools as well, I know all the secret code words.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

I am intrigued by the Beth Parkerness, as Maria praises her so highly. So hi there!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

IT's a sport full of erotic symbolism (My school's first team rowed in tight fitting pink all in one lycra suits)

― Ed (dali), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

Arrgh. Neither terminology nor boat layout are very clear in my mind any more... just Vic's [or was he called Stan?] cock n balls.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 5 August 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm doing my best to ignore this entire train of thought.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 14:01 (twenty years ago)

the surfs not that rough here but still its australia and i have a pair of boardies and fuck i hate wearing the ol' dickstickers under the boardies (constaint!) and i am constantly worried that when i go under a wave the boardies might go down and wrap around me kness and i might drown right there...dick and balls and fear of constraint exposed.

Astin, actually. I think we all assumed it was Hasselhoff and therefore weren't surprised.

Oh my!!!

::fans self::

Any more of those photos floating around, Ed? ha-HEM. Purely for, uh, research reasons.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Haha I was going to say 'god is that Sean Astin?' and then I thought 'no it is clearly too horrible' and then 'so it is probably another famous person, who I don't know, so should not say anything in case I look a fool'.

In retrospect then: EWWWWW.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 5 August 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm still depressed that "Let's Talk About Ill-Fitting Bathing Suits," Salt-n-Pepa's follow-up to "Let's Talk About Sex," failed to make the US charts (number 32 in the UK though!).

I have two pool parties this weekend! I gotta be all pregnant and half-naked in front of people, yikes. And no way I'm wasting money on a maternity bathing suit so I'll be squeezing into an old two-piece; I hope there are no tragic results.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 5 August 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

kate, google my old school rowing club

― Ed (dali), Friday, 5 August 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Ah. Back from work. Hello to you too, Ned Raggett!
I remember one of my bygone ill-fitting bathing suits. My mother sewed me a bikini when I was pregnant, and as my hindquarters spread I found the bottom half harder and harder to pull on. She had to keep adding gussetts—triangular inserts, for the tailoring-challenged. I don't know what ever became of that bathing suit. Probably slipped off in a rough wave after the weight dropped. Then I got a GOLD bikini!!! It never fit right. Didn't wear it once.
So teeny, get your mom to sew in a gussett!

― Beth Parker, Friday, 5 August 2005 21:52 (twenty years ago)

Heh that Sean Austin (whoever he is) pic makes me think of Zapp Brannigan! =)

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 6 August 2005 07:35 (twenty years ago)

― nathalie sans denouement (stevie nixed), Saturday, 6 August 2005 07:46 (twenty years ago)

when i ws a kid my mum got me this brown wool pair of bathers for me that i absolutely hated! they were itchy and once they got wet they'd sag badly and i ws in a constant state of discomfort and fear of exposure. next i had this triangle bikini with the american flag on it, and wd get horribly embarrassed when the triangles dislodged themselves from the nipple area (obv there ws 0 breast to speak of) during swimming/general beach action. this has happened in yrs since i actually did have breasts to expose out of errant bikini triangles but ws somehow way more shrug offable, never as traumatic that flat 9 yr old chest seeing the sunshine!

― jeremy jordan (cruisy), Sunday, 7 August 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

I saw some swimsuits in a store today so I fingered the foam in honour of this thread. It made me laugh all over again.

― estela (estela), Sunday, 7 August 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

OOOOh- this is a juicy thread!
Because I am rather overly blessed on the top and the bottom - or,er, chubby - I have a bathing suit with cups AND a skirt. It's cute, but I never wear it.It makes me feel like an old lady.
I have the bottom half of a "tankini" that I wear with a tank top. Swimming involves removing my "over the shoulder boulder holder" (bra), walking to the water with my arms crossed below my boobs, and then plunging into the water where, thankfully, the water becomes the bra.
I'm really, really good at removing bras without taking off my shirt.
It's a special skill - maybe I could teach a class or something. Well endowed young women and hapless boys would all be tutored in the mysteries of subtle bra removal!

― aimurchie (aimurchie), Sunday, 7 August 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

― aimurchie (aimurchie), Monday, 8 August 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

Ha! But you haven't killed this one! I fetched it back from the thread dungeon!
Here's another story about bathing suits that come off in the water—
When I was a young art student in DC one of my teachers—Bill Newman— had gotten permission to put up a mural on the plywood barrier around a construction site. He painted a nude of his girlfriend (a student—in art school, sleeping with your students is actually encouraged). He then painted a bikini on her, in WATER-SOLUBLE poster paint. When it rained, off it came. The construction company was pissed and we all had to go scrub the remains of the water-soluble suit off so that Bill could paint a permanent one.
That was in 1975, pre-video, but I think somebody might have had a super-eight camera. Yes, ladies and gentlemen of ILE, I am 49!!!! Which age, I recently discovered, has the following benefit: You can shush rude jerks who are talking loudly while musicians are playing and instead of throwing their beer at you, they look abashed and leave the club!!!! Then you get their seat!!!(this was in your old place of employment, Alison). They also might have fled if I'd appeared in MY BATHING COSTUME!!!!! How would they know that the lumpy thing under the suit was not ill-fitting foam but A MACHINE GUN!!!!

Hell is a beach with mirrors.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Monday, 17 April 2006 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

two months pass...

I haven't been to the beach yet this summer, but TODAY we're going to a new Land Bank beach (across from Abel's Hill, you Vineyarders). You have to bring a kayak and cross Chilmark Pond to get there, so that'll weed out most of the people(?) this island is suddenly thronging with. Also the Portugeuse Man-O-War invasion will weed some out. Six people to the ER yesterday, and they closed Lucy Vincent Beach.
I hope I don't get any tentacles inside my ill-fitting suit.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 1 July 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

Which I am wearing AS I TYPE THIS!!!!!!
Okay, out the door.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 1 July 2006 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

Be careful out there! I was kinda wondering how crazy it would be at the hospital tonight. Sounds like it might get messy. They only really call me to the ER if there is a lot of blood spilled though. Are Man-O-War wounds particularly gruesome?

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 1 July 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

I have no idea! I think they're just wicked stings. The casualty count is up to TEN people! A bloodbath! Or welt-fest.

This from interweb: Stinging, burning, redness, swelling of lymph nodes. Long welt lines. Severe reactions: difficulty with breathing and cardiac arrest.

Egad!

We didn't see any. It wasn't hot enough for me to go in, anyway. Windy. I had to cocoon myself in the bedspread we brought to lie on. Pathetic.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 1 July 2006 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 1 July 2006 22:12 (nineteen years ago)

There was beautiful kayaking, though. A long water avenue between the tall reeds, linking two parts of the pond. Very African Queen. Big clumps of mallow too. It'll be incredible when they bloom. I know it's too wholesome and outdoorsy for you, Scott, but maybe we can drag Maria and Rufus along with us (or any ILXors in the neighborhood!). We're going to get a two-person kayak. We've been borrowing one and it's way too heavy. Getting it up on the roof-rack is a bear.
Anyone know kayaks? I think I'll just google "lightest kayak." I wonder if you lose maneuverability as you lose poundage. This one does stay its course nicely. Maybe that's a function of weighing TWO TONS.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 1 July 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Scott—were there any man-o-war victims infarcting in the halls during your shift?

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Sunday, 2 July 2006 23:11 (nineteen years ago)

so busy this weekend. it was crazy. tonight was the hardest i've ever worked at the hospital. i'm afraid that "holiday weekend" will mean "full hospital" to me from now on. i had to deal with my first body there today. it was okay. sad though. a doctor was nice enough to help me clean up. it was very messy. an anti-moped sticker goes on the car tomorrow. hope you had a nice one, Beth!

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 3 July 2006 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

Oh lordy. Was that the cause of the Edgartown Road jam-up? There are SO many bikes and mopeds on the road, and drivers are so aggressive and pissed, I'm not surprised this happened. When are they going to ban these things! The roads are too narrow and twisty.

Another freezing day at the beach. By the time we finally got there the fog had rolled in. My numb fingertips could barely turn my book pages.

Now we're bound for my MIL's for steamers on the back porch.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

Hope you don't have bad dreams. We have to get you together with one of the people coming to stay in the Middle Road house in August. She worked in a hospital for years, certifying deaths. At first she had nightmares, but then it became routine. Nevertheless, she doesn't do it anymore.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

So apparently she lost control on a straightaway and hit a phone pole. Nothing to do with cars at all. Weird.
I'm taking the issue to the printer. Last fall's issue. A little late. I blame ilx.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

Just finished my Thursday MV Times ritual reading - Scott, how horrible. Nothing much to say, except, yes ban mopeds. Even the guy that owns the moped rental place seems to be for banning mopeds!

Beth, plastic tandem kayaks RULE! We have an unwieldy, heavy canoe, and our neighbors have the aforementioned. We borrow it.
You literally toss it onto the car, toss it into the water, and off you go! It handles well in the Connecticut river; don't know what it would be like in the ocean.
The neighbors took the kayak to a nearby "launching area", called the ox-bow, and went kayaking. When they returned, they were berated by a park ranger/environmental cop for NOT HAVING A TOW VEHICLE !!!!
Apparently, only people towing large motor boats and jet skis are allowed to launch from this particular area.
The rangercop said he would ticket them if they did it again.
I really don't have to explain the absurdity of this...but it is mind boggling!
I might have to stage a kayak/canoe protest of some sort - in ill fitting bathing suits, of course. Ill fitting to the point of being NAKED!
But the water, due to all of the motor vehicles, is really oily at that launch, so I'd be afraid to end up like one of those Exxon-Valdez shore birds.
Anyway - yes to plastic tandem kayaks, especially if you're lazy and like to let your partner paddle while you bask with a beverage and enjoy natures serene majesty.

― aimurchie (aimurchie), Thursday, 6 July 2006 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

i went out on a ptk this weekend. it was great, but neither of us knew how to steer. we were laughed at by more skilled kayakers as we floated around and almost ran into things. that was our fault, though. the kayak itself was ace.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 6 July 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

Now we are leaning more toward two single-occupant sea kayaks. They'd be so much lighter, we could go out in the open water, and with two of them we could have races!

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Friday, 7 July 2006 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

Although it seems impossible, the forecast for Saturday is SUN AND HEAT.
Maria, how about a pre-Bob Lee beach day! Can Cyrus nap under a beach umbrella? Would Rufus be traumatized by the naturists?

Beth, YES.

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Friday, 14 July 2006 01:52 (nineteen years ago)

I just realised that yes could be confusing. To clarify, Rufus often likes to say, "When I'm a grown-up, I'll be naked all day long." Also in his imaginings of grown-uphood, he'll get to play with my computer all he wants and sit in the driver's seat but we'll all still live in our tiny house.

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Friday, 14 July 2006 01:55 (nineteen years ago)

That's sort of how we're living, now that Nigel is home for the summer. He stays on the computer for hours, engrossed in Fantasy Football, Baseball, whatever, plus MySpace, where his page is a mother's NIGHTMARE.
I'm so bummed that I have to work today. But landscaping is leveling off to just watering and tweaking, so if there's work I cannot shirk!

Fabulous beach day yesterday, complete with middle-aged nude lady bleating "Help! Help!" from the water, causing about six (also nude) sunbathers and two beach guards to gallop into the surf to save her, only to discover, when she stood up, that she was in TWO FEET OF WATER. She must have been having some kind of panic attack. A beach guard walked ashore with her, then she got dressed and left. Mortified, no doubt.
I'm just glad this didn't turn out to be something Scott would have to clean up.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Monday, 17 July 2006 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

one year passes...

I thought I'd revive my own thread, egotist that I am, because the thing I am going to bring up is so revolting, I didn't want to sully the hottness-oriented thread.

Cancerously overtanned, usually obese nudist women with shaved pubes.

I WANT YOU TO GO AWAY.

Every other woman on the clothing-optional end of the beach has a preschooler's crotch. Ech. I AM SICK OF YOUR LABIA, BITCH!

Went to the beach yesterday. A lovely day, though we had to move camp once because of a loudmouth who sat right next to us.

I have yet another complaint about the physical aspect of my fellow aging-nudist ladies. BAD POSTURE. Rounded shoulders, slumpy stance with poked-out belly. Were these women never made to walk the school halls with a stack of books on their heads, as I was? Were they trying to hide their tits? Did they affect a beatnik slouch and got stuck that way?

I want to kick them in the pants, but they aren't wearing any.

― Beth Parker, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:26 (eighteen years ago)

Well, it could mean they are ashamed of their (ahum) sagging tits but don't realize if you're naked, you won't hide it but actually accentuate it. I had bad posture ESPECIALLY when my breasts were massive (well, massive to me anyway). Now that I am pregnant it's happening again: I slump. :-(

― nathalie, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:29 (eighteen years ago)

Get out that stack of books! Or anything! Now that you're going to have two kids, head-portage is a useful skill. It leaves your hands free to hold both kids' hands.

― Beth Parker, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:40 (eighteen years ago)

True so true. And I could also read more. Cause in a few months: no more time for reading uninterrupted nor watching Veronica Mars repeats. :-)

Naww, you'll have a placid newborn who will sleep in the crook of your elbow through endless episodes of Veronica.

By the amount of kicking s/he does, no way is that baby gonna be placid/calm. :-)

this revive highlights the reasons why i would never set foot on a clothing-optional beach.

Today's weird beach event: the unaccompanied girl lying on her towel several yards away from us starts to do push-ups, fucking hundreds of them, it seems. And then double leg-lifts.
Okay, you're awesome.

She was wearing a well-fitting brown bikini.

Reminds me of a time when I was at a concert in Austin with my gf, and her sister, whom I'd never met, was going to be joining us shortly. My gf gave me notice that her sister was kind of strange. Before long, the sister arrives and seems very nice, if a bit nervous or shy. Ten minutes later she (my gf's sister) in doing push-ups in a dark, dank corner of the venue (a fairly dank and seedy place). I ask my gf why this is happening and she says it's justr her sister's social anxiety disorder. u_u
