Bathing Beauties
Now that we’re officially into the summer season, I’m taking my bathing suits out of mothballs, to determine how they look on me this year. I’m hoping at least one will fit. I do not want to have to find myself in front of a three-way full-length mirror, with bad overhead lighting, trying on a bikini. Does anyone, apart from a teenage girl, enjoy shopping for swimwear?
On a recent trip to New Zealand, a photographer friend, Corbin Smith, shot this artwork by a local potter and sculptor, Gary Nevin. I’ve been in touch with Gary’s wife, Julie Burns-Nevin, who is also an artist. She told me these women were based on “yoga figures, and that lots of people can relate to them.”

I didn’t even like swimsuit shopping when I was a teenager! Always felt scrawny and flat-chested!
