the swelling...think they packed him in ice? OUCH!!!

I'll never forget buying a beautiful white bikini once..wore it in the pool...came out of the water and...yep..transparent..didn't even know it until this girl came up to me and whispered that you could see right through it! Nothing like looking like a red and white candycane from embarrassment. Needless to say, wore the towel the rest of the pool party.

wehehehehe mom scarlett, too late, got already a picture in mind...lol

..i remember the story of this guy who wears only this white undergarment (its like a white loose pants and only that) when they are wearing a thob..according to the story teller his thingy was dangling when he went to the water...and just seconds after he went to the water, they saw them running to the shore, screaming, he lie down and they saw this huge jellyfish covering his thingy...poor guy, have to be taken to the hospital and treated their for a whole week..

Owen, behave yourself...I had a thought of that right after I posted he needed to wear his thob and almost struck myself blind...

We are discussing swim wear and not the technicalities of manufacturing it in black and whit or a combo zebra colour.

Trust me the local business man and their creativity who will start a big business out of this rule..

Poor thing, we will still be working under their sponsorship.

I can't find the thread where PM actually posted pictures of the 'burkini', but there are some on this site:

Maybe the lady in the picture posted at the top of this thread wasn't aware she could buy something different?

remember there are a lot of threads discussing about dress code being implemented.. When and if it happens (i hope it does not) Abayas will also be coverd under the law and then shop a swim wear . you will get a water proof thing with air ballons.

I just cant lauging thinking abt it. Imagine pic of beach and swimming pool with (ONLY) black one one side and white on the other.

Scarlett maybe I was wrong.........these may be made by Dunlop and not speedo..........inbuilt buoyancy chambers without loss of fashion quotient, maybe?? In fact the buoyancy chambers may be custom built (to accommodate size, shape and location preferences) to actually enhance the FQ!! Hmmmm.......

Eureka...........I need a venture capitalist NOW!!!!!!!!!

Oh! they will float. You have the size of most of these abaya females. Do remember these are swim wear abaya.. water proof and inbuilt air ballons for floating... i.e. just in case.

dangerous if it got heavy with water. Um but what about the guy...why isn't he covered up also, least his arms?

By owen• 17 Oct 2007 16:15
owen

isn't it very difficult to swim in abbaya? how would it be awkward if you will do one lap or float (can they float?)

Imagine the plight if she drowns and someone is got to save her. She sure will be doomed and most likely will take the person along with her to Hell.
