A couple of weeks ago, I found this cool-looking tutorial on how to make a bikini out of a tshirt! Sa-weet! But, then I started thinking. Wait.
Wet T-shirt contests. T-shirts. Bikini. Um…
And, then someone told me that it’d be one you’d lay out in. And, of course, you wouldn’t use white. And, it’s doubled.
Okay. I’m in. I have plenty of Steven’s t-shirts that don’t fit (me).
So, today I cowboyed up and decided I’d do it. I confiscated a t-shirt and went to cutting and pinning for the top. A couple of hours later (because I was talking to Jen and then taking care of a hungry bottomless pit-stomach child), I was finished. With just the top.
Turns out. I hate it. Yeh. Go figure. You’d think once someone bombs enough projects, they’d give up, right? Yeh, well not me. I’m stupid smart like that. And, I even did pictures standing up on the chair in my dining room. Because, last time you guys got a little jealous. And, this time…I’m actually covered up. Notice that the kitchen table has nothing kitchen-y on it. A laptop, tshirt shreds, and a sewing machine.
Can you read what my top says? Yes, that’s right: Army National Guard. Darn tootin’.
And now, I’ll tell you the drawbacks of a t-shirt bikini. You’ll flash everyone. Basically, that’s all you need to know. Luckily, we have a lot of trees in our yard so all window views are obstructed.
And, now that I’ve done my part and promoted our armed forces, I’ll let you all get back to reading quality blogs. Go guard.
(PS - I totally think I should win the Nobel Peace Prize for this. That - and the fact that I totally used a bobby pin to thread the bottom “string” through because I don’t have a non-giant safety pin.)

…

How did that stomach birth a baby? LOL. You look great. Seriously jealous. Me and my backside.
…

I like it! Why do you hate it? Are you going to attempt the bottom?
…

I just stopped eating for a whole year. I agree with Mombabe. HOW did your stomach go right back.. Lucky.
…
Let me school you. Take a deep breath, suck it in…don’t breath. And, take the picture. Ta-Da!
May 9th, 2008 @8:46 pm
Yes… I agree with the girls before me… What in the heck were you talking about your stomach on the phone earlier for??? Do what??? I swear I’m going to take a pic of mine and post it just for you. hahaha (Not really… )
…
What I said was my stomach and boobs changed with Lor-da-doon and I was self-conscious. My tummy before…TOTALLY flat with rock hard abs. Now? Not so much. In fact, now…there’s a ridge up the middle. Besides, this is a pic of me standing up…straight..and yeh.

Whoa! I echo what the others said about your stomach. How in the heck did you have a kid? You look great.
and I like the top. It’s not bad!
…
Okay okay. I admit it. I bought her at the Farmer’s Market. Sheesh!

K. Forget the T-shirt bikini (which is very cute BTW), next post you will have to share how you got the flat tummy!
…
by holding my breath?

You are totally smokin’! If I had that body I would LIVE in that bikini top and shorts. Everyday. That would be my uniform.
…
lol be careful what you say!!
May 10th, 2008 @5:38 am
I want you. I want you right now.
The top is really cool, but I want to see the matching bottoms. I may be old enough to be your grandpa, but I’m not. Are you sure you didn’t give birth by proxy? That body of yours is Sha-weeeet! Okay, I’ll stop now. Peace.
…
Ha. Generally I post responses…but I’m at a loss for words right now…

Ha. Is this one of those almost compliments again? Thanks…I think?
May 25th, 2008 @10:41 pm
No - it was definitely a compliment. I was trying to be funny but it’s hard to do that in a blog comment.
…
lol thanks. You do realize that at this point I’m just messing with you a bit, right? lol Consider it payback for earlier
