Swimsuits and Pretty Girls!

Okay.  This situation is totally getting out of hand.  The price I'm paying for clicking on that ad on facebook is that I see nothing but swimsuit ads everywhere I go.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.  Here are some of the cutest outfits I have encountered.

This is one of my favorites, though I probably don't have the legs for it.  And I love this model; she has a lovely smile!

Another pretty dress, but an even prettier model.  Can you tell I like long hair?  Streaky, medium-brown, sunbleached is my favorite, I think.

It's the same model, looking like a teenager, which is probably what she is.  I love the sandals, but she seems just a little too thin for my tastes.

I think this young lady looks lovely, but I don't know whether I approve of the style of the bodice.  I know it's now a mainstream design, but ...

Our model doesn't look quite as startlingly thin here.  I love the rear view very much, especially her grave expression when seen from the rear.

I think this is the same person, modelling a really pretty swimsuit.

Another really pretty swimsuit, with a rather cylindrical model.

This young lady looks spectacular from in front, and I also love her face.  Again, a little too thin for my unqualified approval.

And finally, a lovely model, pretty from both angles, and a fabulous suit.

Two more; these dresses really looks like something I would wear.  It appears to be a really light fabric, but I wonder whether you could wear it more than once, just because they dressy enough for an afternoon out, and you know how that goes.

This model is sweet, though those platforms are scary.  Another lovely dress from that island beauty I love so much.  I might wear a dress like that, if I could afford it ...

That's quite enough of that.

New Distractions

Our school is winding down our school year, and my work is mostly over.  I need to work furiously over the summer to get a manuscript ready for Smashwords (Music of the Stars, which I have written about before).

On Facebook I happened to click on an advertisement for a dress, and pretty soon I was sent to the Nordstrom website, and I started looking at various clothes.  I have no hope of ever wearing any of those, because I just don't have the figure for them.  (I used to pretend that I did, but if I ever did, that time has gone!!)  But the models were cute, and so I couldn't resist looking at one dress after another.

From that day on, my Facebook page always has something from some clothing manufacturer.  The models look pretty much the same, and some views of them look so uncannily similar that I suspected that they simply photoshopped their clothes on them.

I just have to tell someone that this model, from this angle, is completely irresistible.  Most of all I love her hair, which is the color I wish my own hair was!

These days, they get young kids of about 17 to model, some of them as young as 15 or 16.  I'm not sure how I feel about that; it seems just a little too exploitative to me.  It encourages them to think of modeling as a career long before they have an opportunity to think of other possibilities.  It is such a temptation to micromanage other people's lives for them, but I suppose it is a parent's right to ruin his or her children's lives, until the kids are adults, at which point, the kids have the right to ruin their own lives, or submit to the ruining plans of their parents.

In conclusion, I would like to place on record that, if I were seventeen again, I would totally wear that swimsuit.  It is called the Mia crocheted one-piece swimsuit by Robin Picone.  Do not tell Robin Picone that I endorsed her blasted swimsuit, or Google will not leave me in peace, for urging me to "monetise" my blog.
