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.
