A Totally Whimsical Swimsuit

I'm a great believer in whimsey and doing the unexpected.  While trying to cope with the temperature outside being in the teens and swimming a long way off, I was shopping online for a swimsuit when I found this one:




Yes, this string bikini is in the colors of the Maryland flag.  It is really colorful, unique in design, and should serve as a conversation gambit, even though I'm from Tennessee and not Maryland.  Additional bonus: the bottom is not a thong!

It's about this time of year back in Tennessee that the novelty of winter would lose its charm and there would be time of counting the days until spring.  Maybe that's why St. Patrick's Day is so much celebrated!

  2. I've always thought that the Maryland flag was overly colorful and confusing, with too many elements on it. It does make a spiffy bikini, though, thong or no!

  3. It's nice and colorful, almost impressionistic in it's patchwork pattern.

  4. Why isn't there an Alabama swimsuit?

  5. I love it! Go for it, Heidi! That would make a splash in Montana swimming when it's possible.

    Do other states have swimsuits?

  6. It's probably considered desecration of the state flag in Maryland. I say go for it.

  7. I looked to see if they make one for Texas to please my man. They do. But would Texans object?

  9. It's very cute! I would wear one like it if my bottom was better toned.

  11. Thanks for your thoughts on it, everyone. It definitely got a response so maybe I'll be a fake Maryland girl.

    Tennessee's colors would come out so wrong!

  12. I wish it was a thong. And that you'd model it.
