Swimsuits Galore

Swimming´s governing body FINA just announced that the hyper-modern polyurethane and other super-material swisuits are banned from swimming competitions. Jadajadajada! I would be OK if they ban having a propeller stuck up the swimmer´s arses, but making so much fuzz abut the swimsuit materials is soooo boring.

So good bye artificial shark skin and sking-tight plastics! The new rules include a statement that "Scientists" will define what "textile" or "fabric" means. So now we need scientists to define all that? Let's check Wikipedia... "A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce long strands.[1] Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibres together (felt)."

Well, that did not hurt much, did it? So it´s the "network of fibres" that counts, I´d say.

This gives me a golden opportunity to start crocheting luvely olympic swimsuits by hand. Adding cute flower decorations and intricate patterns will make them unique, and entertaining for the audience as well!

Swim with Moi! --->








One could go 50's - very elegant, not too revealing but giving a clear statement and adoring the physique....












Or Marvel - nothing beats clean cut Spiderman Trunks!


Or Victorian - safe and sound!






But best would naturally be:
Go Marilyn!


















Pussy Galore, then again, is a Bond Girl.
She never appeared in a swimsuit.

Or naked, to that matter.


But with a gun.
