"Bathing beauty" update....(LOL again)!!

August 11/11

So, after crushing bathing suit defeat at The Bay and Sears, Carrie told me to go this bathing suit shop at Lawrence Plaza. It's called Phantom Outlet. Drove there this afternoon.

What does it say about me that despite being sore, red, burned, in pain from radiation and effects, (not to mention, underweight, so nothing to hold a suit UP!!), - that I STILL want to look passable in a bathing suit at Fern Resort?? - Once a TV reporter who loves hot makeup and clothes, - always, I guess!!

Anyway, The Bay "sale suits" cost a fortune. This place? Excellent prices. Ended up with four different looks. What the hell. Why not? I wear these things for about a decade. (wonder what I'll look like wearing one as a senior citizen in the dark & murky future??) - Quick! Call for a body double!!

This suit replaces my favourite old one...closest I could get to the way it looked. Pretty colours.

My first-ever skirt-suit! - Hide all the imperfections!

A tankini! - Also a first ever! (quick! Somebody call Jaymz Bee! Alert him I need a Crantini immediately! Jaymz! Invite me sailing!!!)

Last suit...not exactly my usual colours. I mean, really, orange?? But, the ONLY suit available with "push-up" effect. - (Help me OUT here)!!!

I started writing months ago, to create a "personal experience blog". Maybe there aren't that many breast cancer patients commenting about buying bathing suits. I don't know. But I am! Ready for poolside!! Bring it on. Cheers!

Bathing beauty????? LOL

August 11/11.

Going to the Eaton Centre today to try and find a bathing suit to wear at Fern Resort. Since this weight loss, my old suits don't fit anymore. Struck out bigtime at The Bay last week. Everything sucked.

Will try Sears, and whatever that store is that sells only bathing suits...forget the name. "The Bathing Suit store"?? - (this reminds me of in Anchorman when they talk about going to "the pants store"!!)
Uh oh. Don't think I can help myself from posting the pics and quote. Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, just SO hilarious. Makes me laugh every time. (well, the whole movie does!! - Anything to do with news - or newsmen!, always gets me!!) Take it Ron Burgundy!!
(and I can just HEAR you telling me, "I'm kind of a big deal around here. People know me.")

"Mr. Burgundy, you have a massive erection".

"Really? Yes, I do. Um...I'm sorry, it's the...it's the pleats. Mm. It's actually an optical illusion. It's the pattern on the pants. It's not flattering in the crotchal region. I'm actually taking them back right now. Taking them back to the pants store. Well I'm gonna go walk it off. Don't act like you're not impressed"!

Anyway - people keep telling me to eat. Don't usually feel like it. But not this morning. For breakfast today, I had a piece of pecan pie with icecream on top and a cup of tea. OK everyone? How's that?? (Guess I must have been in a good mood)!! Let the sugar rush run rampant!!

See you later, hopefully, swimsuit in hand. (or on??) Ya never know!
