Addendum to BATHING SUIT HELL - My War with the Madonna suit

Addendum to BATHING SUIT HELL

Okay, so I ended up buying a 'tankini' (already I'm in a bad mood.  TANK?  Really?  I haven't gained THAT much.)

It has a 'shelf' top, size C/D.  Sort of fits, but here's the thing.  I am not a 'shelf.'  I cannot be 'moved' into a shelf.  I am two soft torpedoes with a sizable gap inbetween.

Which works okay, until you go into the pool, and that gap between the torpedoes fills with water.  And the whole top flops down to your navel with the weight.

WHO DESIGNS THESE THINGS??

Burn Baby! Teaser from ROWENA AND THE DARK LORD, available April 28!

There he stood, maybe 10 feet away, hands on hips, like a minor god. His back was to the sun. I had forgotten how powerfully built he was, the size of his arms, the square of his shoulders. The way his legs stood apart, the large torso balanced on massive thighs. He wore a green tunic and no armor.

God, he was magnificent. Even now, even after all my time alone with Thane, I couldn’t help this feeling. There was something about Cedric that reached right through me and drew me like a moth to fire.

Burn, baby.
