THEN:
Cathy: I'm showing too much skin!!
After decades of fighting for options that work on the real bodies of real women, we finally have another real choice in swimwear: NOW:
Cathy: I'm showing too much fabric!!
We just need to lighten up about our bodies. I am so sensitive about my legs that I won’t wear shorts in the summer, and I live in Georgia. And when we went to a beach in Spain, I had the most covering swim suit there, and was the only one not in a bikini. I might as well have had a big sign saying “I’m an American who is not okay with her body”

Ditto. Cathy really needs to quit torturing herself each year with the swimsuit shopping.

That’s the answer for all of us. It’s more modest and we don’t end up torturing ourselves for our not so perfect bodies.

Every year we see Cathy swimsuit shop. Anyone ever see her actually SWIM? Or Sunbathe? Or anything that REQUIRES a swimsuit?

Every year Cathy lies in the sun and drinks beach drinks with her girlfriends or Irving, but I haven’t ever seen her swim.

I think she wants to swim, but doesn’t have the courage to. Buying the swimsuit took a lot out of her.
