The most dreaded piece of clothing for any woman is the two piece string bikini. It’s that barely there lycra material that exposes everything. Any other piece of clothing and you can hide your slightly protruding pooch, all those stretch marks on your bum, the cellulite creeping up your thighs but not when it comes to the Bikini. This non-existent item of fashion doesn’t let you hide anything. Its bare , it’s there and one has to be brave enough to embrace it. Women go through months long rituals to get in shape; to wear that perfect bikini they spend…

I would never be able to experience this again and I would be one of the very few who would have had the opportunity to experience it in the first place.
