For all I know, there could have been dread locks coming out of there because my eyes were glued to her amazing, fabulous, please-can-I-have-it-NOW Red swimsuit.

Swimsuit shopping has been dreaded by women for a very long time, but it doesn’t have to be. Sure, seeing all that cellulite harshly highlighted by the flourecent lights of a dressing room is U-G-L-Y, but there are so many cute suits this season that you may not even notice those ripples.

I just really like bikinis. For the past few summers, however, the monokini has been a fierce alternative to the triangle top and the Brazilian cut bottom.
