Hmmmm....sometimes moderation is a good thing

Have you all seen Wholesomewear?

Now, I'm not going to argue with them that there is a need for modest swimwear, but I'm thinking this might be taking it a tad bit too far. Because really? If you are wearing one of these at the beach, you're going to be getting a lot of looks for lack of skin showing, just as someone with too much showing would.

And I'm not sure how I'd feel about going in the ocean with too much excess fabric floating around my legs. Hmmm...

You know that family who's in the news for having 17 kids in Arkansas, and all their names start with J?

I watched a documentary about them, and the mom specifically mentioned that they try to wear clothes that draw attention to their face (she called it their "countenance.") All the girls wore sort of sailor-blouses and all the boys wore normal polo-type shirts. They seem like they would be into the modest swimwear trend too.

I agree, those look a little cumbersome. I can understand wanting to wear swimwear that's not revealing, but I think it's going to be difficult to swim in anything that doesn't basically cling to your body. It's a tradeoff, I guess.

the place where I first saw the link for Wholesomewear was on that family's webpage!

People talk trash about that family all the time, about her having a litter of kids and whatnot, right? I think I saw the documentary you're talking about and they seem like the awesomest people ever, like if there is anyone who should have a billionty kids it's them. Those kids seem like the awesomest people who ever awesomed. Totally loving and well adjusted. I wish I was one of them. They were asking one of the teenage boys about girls and he was talking about how he was excited to get married and have a loving partnership with a girl and have a family too and I was all like "Awwww!" I had a fucked up adolescence so I'm envious of wholesome people. :-)
