{just keeping it real}

Even if it is totally at my own expense.

Today I was making a mad-dash into JCPenney for some

make-up and the inevitable occurred.

THE.SWIMSUIT.AISLE.

Bikinis at that.   I found myself smack dab in the midst of them.  

Strings and all.

Puke, puke and more puke.

Then, it was love at first sight.

I saw her from across the room hanging high on the wall.

Perfection.

Just enough coverage. Some great runching.  Flirty, but not too much. 

Actually kind-of classic.

Hmmm....somewhat dressy, now that I think of it.

I kept fighting off all of the other hangers poking me as I wove through the

bikini racks.....then, the disappoint sunk me.  {pardon the pun}

I was not eyeing the perfect swimsuit for me.

But, a very skimpy prom dress.

To my beach friends from last year, this should not surprise you. 

At all.
