Same Lake, Much Different Wear

At Get Out! North Idaho Facebook wall, OrangeTV provides this 1909 postcard with this description: ” A 1909 postcard of some boaters enjoying Lake Coeur d’Alene on a hot summer day. 104 years later and things basically haven’t changed a bit. Except the fashion — these people look fully clothed! Thank goodness for the thong bikini, right? A wool full-body bathing suit just ain’t the thing on a 101 degree July afternoon.”

CindyH: So the lights went out briefly while I was in the dressing room at Ross trying on swimsuits. They said it was due to the thunderstorm but I’m pretty sure it was God’s reaction to the horrible floral spandexy thing I was wearing. I took it as a sign. Also, the dressing room gal said, “Maybe you can find a nice purse!” Another sign.

Question: What are you comfortable wearing on the beach?
