I got a new Land’s End catalog today and noticed their system for indicating which of their swimsuits flatter which body types - I could figure most of it out, where the upside-down triangle was meant to symbolize the top-heavy bather, the rectangle a not-so-curvy gal, and the normal triangle the bottom-heavy. I had to look closer at the star, because I was not sure which human body is going to fit into a suit with radial symmetry. Supposedly a suit accompanied by a star looks good on any human female/Sara Anderson, F-Words. More here.
Question (for HBO gals): Do you approach swimsuit buying with fear and trembling? Or confidently?

I don’t wear a swimsuit. I swim as God intended man to swim.
