Beachwear

As you may know, I recently spent two weeks at the beach. By no means a resort or fashionable type of beach. I did note however that people do go out of their way for the most part to look their best.

Beach activity as I observed may be split up into many categories: Family, friends, the loner, the sun worshipper, the walk on the beach, the party, the romance. For each one of these I noticed, the beach wear will differ. Yes even for guys. Guys how many bathing suits do you have? I bet the average here is about 1.2. Ladies how many bathing suits do you have? Here the average is most likely above 3.

Family day being one of the most common, is really not about glamour. The teens, a little more daring, will try to look their best for attention. The parents are usually caught up in the whole 9-5 fast food routine and look it. Rarely do you get an image similar to the one on the left.

The beach we have access to, is mostly family, however, a few minutes away is a large public beach where I did get an eyeful of variety of swimwear. Another observation, is what people do to their bodies. And of course, that’s their business, but it’s also my business to take note.

The beach is an excellent place to display piercings and tattoos amongst other things too. None of it has to be glamorous, but it does beautify the scenery if it’s well done. How many of you have altered your body in such a way either for the hell of it, fashion statement? At 18, I got my ear pierced. A real statement!

DW’s friends got a hold of me on an early morning hangover and decided that it would really become me. That’s another story!

A walk on the beach is a good avenue to strut your stuff! I’m here, look at me or piss off I’m here to work on my tan lines and if you’ve got it flaunt it, while you still can… Human nature.

At one point we were off the beach getting an ice cream at a near by shop. Two gentleman walked in, one dressed with Bermudas and the other sculptured guy just had his swim trunks on. Barely, but he was quite a display, so why not. I observed one could contour everything in his bathing suit.

Of course, it struck me, probably because the type of beaches we were at, not too many bothered. More family type. Than it occurred to me, that perhaps he was doing this for his little buddy. No not the one in his pants, but the one in Bermudas.

The time of day and the day of the week, also appears to alter beach presentation. The best looking display probably being between 11.30 am and 2.00pm. The most dangerous time of the day for UV’s and also the best tanning moments. On week-ends also the best looking people in the best of shapes. Usually these present themselves on their own. Rarely swim, The towel goes down, the body shortly follows on top of the towel, usually accompanied by an Ipod type of gadget and a magazine.

Beachwear at this point becomes very interesting and revealing. Some of the ladies of course undo their top, lying down flat on their stomach…Sexy and most captivating!

Under different circumstances like spring break, I know the southern U.S.A. beaches go crazy. Similarly beaches go nuts in Europe, South America, try South Padre Island…with Beachwear fashion contests. Hey who’s complaining it makes the world go round no?…………………………

So do you go to the beach to sport your brand new bathing suit?

How much consideration do yo give your swimwear before going to the beach?

Do you like to show off a little at the beach?

Have you ever taken part in some crazy springbreak activities or parties?

Do you consider the beach a play area? Is romance on the beach just a dream? If not a dream, I hope you were careful about the sand!
