i've posted the peach ruffles one b4 (or maybe you have when we were talking about ruffle bikinis a few pages back), so my vote is that one. I also like the black and white mod print.

2/11/2010 10:12:42 AM

I'm definitely digging the peach and it's SOOO different from my other bikinis. Much girlier.

Most of my bikinis are either surf suits or they're sexy metallic Vegas- or South Beach-style suits.

2/11/2010 10:15:06 AM

well then I think it's settled! if you're gonna add to a 30 piece bathing suit collection, then I'd definitely go with something different and get the peach ruffles it is super cute

2/11/2010 10:17:57 AM

Wait was that the one I voted for? I just want to make sure I'm still in tune with women's fashion....

2/11/2010 10:18:33 AM

yes that was the one you voted for

2/11/2010 10:21:50 AM

2/11/2010 10:45:31 AM

2/11/2010 10:46:53 AM

I like these:

2/11/2010 10:54:45 AM

I found this site has good bikinis:

http://www.wickedweasel.com

And RE: Joie, that flat cut bottom you seem to like looks like it tends to widen hips. Is that your intention? Regardless, my votes go to 2 and 6.

2/11/2010 11:04:31 AM

^no.
but i hate high waisted cuts >.<

2 is my favorite i think

[Edited on February 11, 2010 at 11:17 AM. Reason : and im not a fan of the string sides]

2/11/2010 11:14:55 AM

I mean, they look good, just letting you know fyi

2/11/2010 11:16:37 AM

i know this.

but i cant find any bathing suits offering an alternative that i like.

(if anyone can...by all means bring em this way!)

2/11/2010 11:18:26 AM

i will not be wearing suits that minimize hips:




i will happily deal with an extra perceived inch or two inthe hips than deal with this piece of hot pink crap.

2/11/2010 11:23:48 AM

man, i wish i had known this thread was filled with chicks in bikinis

oh, what i have missed out on

2/11/2010 11:30:45 AM

^thats not much different than the ones i posted (the line at least)


theyre reallly really really close.

(that bathing suit is pretty cute though )

2/11/2010 11:32:56 AM

Yeah, I know. I just went specifically looking for those types since you said you preferred them.

2/11/2010 11:47:30 AM

lol

my bad

i was thinking you were looking for the hip minimizing types!

durrrrrrrr

2/11/2010 12:25:47 PM

ps-i agree with peach ruffles on the previous page

2/11/2010 12:27:03 PM

I mean I've seen smitten guys relegated to gay-friend status helping the girl shop for clothes, hell I've been there once, but at least that was IRL. What are you doing, God??

2/11/2010 12:32:09 PM

Joie and I are basically Guinan and Jean-Luc Picard, respectively.

2/11/2010 12:38:16 PM

As in, we originally met in San Francisco in 1893.

2/11/2010 12:40:27 PM

i had to look that up

2/11/2010 12:41:25 PM

I dabble in esoterica too often.

2/11/2010 12:46:20 PM

in that case, forgive me for trivializing your relationship good sir

2/11/2010 12:47:38 PM

I'm such an asshole all the time, I have to be nice to at least one person.

All the other women in this thread can get bent, though.

2/11/2010 12:55:10 PM

ahahahhahahahaha

2/11/2010 1:02:44 PM

lucy has posted that peach ruffled bikini at least 5 times in this thread previously. buy it already! and post pics

2/11/2010 4:58:56 PM

wy would anyone own 30 bikinis?

2/11/2010 7:35:14 PM

I live in Florida and wear a bathing suit at least 3 days a week. And I was a competitive swimmer for years. I've accumulated a few over the years.

2/11/2010 7:38:00 PM

I didn;t realize competitive swimmers wore slutty bikinis - thanks for the info.

2/11/2010 8:08:41 PM

lol

2/11/2010 8:52:51 PM

Since when are bikinis slutty?

2/11/2010 10:35:23 PM

So, five or six of them are like this. Swimmers definitely wear two-piece suits.

Skincare topic time! I've recently changed my routine, and my skin is so happy with me.



This stuff is amazing for a cheap cleanser. I was skeptical about the hokey little scrubby thing, but I haven't had a breakout since I started it (about 3 weeks ago).

I pair this with my "Dear John" moisturizer and I'm set for the day- its thick and creamy, but doesn't leave a greasy residue or clog my pores.




I use


about three times a week to exfoliate- love love love! I wish it weren't limited edition, I'm almost out. :-(

Anyone have other recommendations?

2/12/2010 1:02:49 PM

this is my jam



MD Skincare Alpha-Beta Daily Face Peel 60 applications

Get healthier, more vibrant skin with the first peel formulated for daily at-home use. Its unique two-step system of ready-to-use pads contains a precise blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids, antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, soothing green tea extract, and an oil-free moisturizer!

its expensive so i only use it like twice a year but my skin looks fucking amazing after a few weeks. however, the first few days you use it you tend to break out a little bc its pulling all the gunk out of your skin

2/12/2010 1:25:03 PM

wow i reallllly like this (i don't think i could rock it though, i'm just saying i really like it and the back esp)

Quote :

and as far as skin care, i posted this on the last page i think, but i just started using ponds cream moisturizer and it has worked SUPER well for me. thick and creamy so you only have to use a little bit and 10oz is like $7 which is a really good deal (since i was looking at 2oz jars of olay shit that were like $17 dollars). i have SUPER dry skin so it works well for me; however - def wouldn't be good for someone who has oily skin in the slightest. i need to switch up my face wash because i'm using the st. ives stuff now and i've used it for awhile but it is too harsh on my skin i feel like and even though it exfoliates it contributes to the dryness. or maybe i just shouldn't exfoliate everyday?!


you can wear it at night and day and it hasn't caused me to break out or anything.

2/12/2010 1:33:27 PM

im a st ives fan

and ive used the generic brand and switched back

daily exfoliating isnt necessarily bad but if you feel you're extra dry then maybe skip a day or two

on skip days i like neutrogena daily facewash (usually the yellow/gold colored stuff) but i like grapefruit (pink) and it smells delicious

2/12/2010 2:28:06 PM

i use suki skin care line for oily/combo skin

lemongrass exfoliating scrub

transformative clay

balancing toner/oil on dry skin days

toner/balancing day lotion for regular days

on the topic of breakouts...

if your cheek/jaw area is zitty... get int he habit of wiping down your cell with rubbing alcohol or something. motherfucker is dirty and will make your face break out

also, my mom told me you're supposed to change your pillowcase every night! at first i was like no way but when you think about it, your face is smashed up on it for several hours per night and most people wash their sheets like once a week. so it makes sense, you don't wear the same socks, underwear or bra for days on end without washing so why not switch out the pillowcase?

2/12/2010 2:35:47 PM

2/12/2010 2:36:30 PM

LOVE THESE!! I love the first one the most. I want to be able to wear these kind without my breast sagging or looking huge therefore I do not buy them. Still awesome!!!

2/12/2010 2:37:08 PM

^ inorite... I was thinking the same thing about everyone that I posted


I use Clinique face stuff... but I still have breakouts... blah.

2/12/2010 2:38:21 PM

I use regular soap to wash my face

I know I should be more concerned about skin care, but meh

2/14/2010 12:26:15 AM

i figured that Loreal cleaning-pad thing would keep bacteria around. guess not?

i love this moisturizer by BareMinerals (this is in the rareminerals line though)

2/14/2010 12:30:35 AM

Where is a good place to buy jeans online?

I've already gone through American Eagle and Old Navy...I'm not looking to spend over $30 for a pair of jeans if at all possible...I'm talking like clearance stuff.
