Swimsuit models

(The title of this post is a blatant effort to garner a few Google hits, but
it's germane, promise!)

The weekend was nice, but far too short. Enjoyed the season opener of high
school football on Friday night, and our hometown team won, so that was an
added bonus. It's not baseball, but it was entertaining.

Spent a few blissful hours yesterday hanging out poolside with boyfriend and
some friends of his. Tried to catch some rays, but only ended up a little
pinker. (In other words, progressed from "very fair" to "fair.")

Catching up on my current events and the happenings in the blog world this
morning, I ran across this (linked in a comment on
http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com) for "appropriate swim suits through
Islamic rules" -- (http://www.hasema.com/shopen/proddetail.asp?prod=H104)

Makes me grateful to be a bikini-wearing American, but at the same time,
that swimsuit is probably what should be protecting my fair, fair skin while
out under the blazin' hot sun. Isn't it ironic?
