Swimming and I are like Lindsey Lohan and the law - super tight. I ventured away from the sport for awhile, but started to dabble my toes back in the swimming waters (pun very much intended) again a couple years ago.
The "athletic" swimsuits I currently own are faaaaaaarrrr past their prime - they are from the old racing days, and one can really only stack so many nasty, see thru swimsuits on top of each other before you just start looking cheap, and really dumb. Especially since the pool I swim in has a lot of young fast athletes that I like to pretend I can compete with. Despite my recent announcement that I won't be doing Ironman next year (should I have done an official press conference for that one?), you bet your ass you'll still find me in the cool kid lane of my local high school at the butt crack of dawn once a week.
A friend mentioned that the best swimsuits ever can be found here.
Ummmm, I'm in love. Although now I have TOO many choices! I mean seriously - when you're faced with either beating down 17 year olds in this suit:
While I debate which of these fantabulous suits I will purchase, I shall daydream about all the wee ones staring at elephant footprints on my ass as I pass them in the pool.
* I now return you to your regularly scheduled day*
Happy Training!
LOL i kind of do like the elephant one ... I end up going cheap and getting the grab bag suits where they pick one and mail it to you. Every once in a while you end up with some crazy design but I just kind of own it and pretend like I don't realize that I am wearing the world's craziest looking suit! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the laugh! I needed that! My favorite (for what it's worth from a non-swimmer) is the Bling Bling one. You go get those 17-year-olds.
ReplyDeleteI love their suits! Have fun picking one (or why not 3 or 4?)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I have to agree with Terzah, I like the bling bling one myself. You should strut your stuff at Hampton Beach with that baby.
ReplyDeleteI'm w/ misszippy....you need more than 1 :)
ReplyDeleteI do the grab bag Splish suits.. it's like a present because you never know what pattern you're going to get until you open up the package! also, because I am cheap and right now grab bag suits are $20 each (I just ordered 2).
ReplyDeleteExactly what Alexa said :-) I love my 20 dollar splish suit...it's wonder girl!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhh, maybe I'll go for the grab bag JUST for the element of surprise!! However, I will be awfully sad if I don't have elephant footprints on my butt :)
ReplyDeleteI love the one that says Superstar on the booty! Those are cute. I wear one with legs so I don't subject anyone to my upper leg region!
ReplyDeleteum, holy hell I am buying one for Cozumel! I want to be the most redonk suit ever. I like the elephant one! you should buy it and then write a post on the looks you get :)
ReplyDeleteKatie - DO IT!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Lauren - that could be an ENTIRE blog in and of itself. Can I pick the one you buy for Coz? Pretty please?!?!?
My favorite is the Superstar one! I think you should buy them all though!!
ReplyDeleteThose are so funny. I would love to see someone show up at my pool in one of those.
ReplyDeleteTheir suits are so darn cute. I would totally go with the elephant one. I don't know why... just made me smile!
ReplyDeletelove splish!!
ReplyDeletetotally diggin' the SUPERSTAR one-
when you're done rockin' the laps, you can jump out and pull a Catherine Mary Gallagher from SNL
SUPASTAR!!
AHHH! Exactly the site I needed. You must get some and be a bad ass in the pool. Everyone will give you looks and it will be awesome!
