Lil Red Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 i like some of the suits, but what's up with a) the price tag (holey camoley! i'm "thrifty", btw.) and b) all the suits being named after audrey hepburn's characters? lol :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She talks about that in the video if you are interested. :) But yeah, they are expensive. Fortunately for my wallet, I'm too broke right now to buy one (does that even make sense?), but when I get my paycheck it will totes go towards a new bathing suit. My other one that everybody called ugly (and they're probably right) died after I neglected to follow washing instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other one that everybody called ugly (and they're probably right) died after I neglected to follow washing instructions. yeah, my attention span isn't great, so i can't really sit down and keep my attention on videos (most of the time). to be honest, i can find a good swimsuit like the Sabrina one at Target for $30. like i said, i'm thrifty, and i often don't see the need for a really expensive swimsuit, especially since i would use it maybe 3 months out of the year? now, if i used it like all the time, yeah, i'd pay more for a swimsuit that was more durable. but yeah.... lol. attention span just went again. :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't like Target. :| Swimming is just about the only exercise that works for me so I let myself spend more than I should on a nice suit. I totally understand your thriftiness though, and it's a good thing you are not as flippant w/ your money as I am. I should take notes.

fides quarens intellectum Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I listened to the video - I hadn't heard about the studies she talks about - thanks for posting! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToJesusMyHeart Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's amazing. Especially the study about men's brains when they see a woman in a bikini--how their brain associates the bikini-clad woman with tools and other objects that can be man-handled! Even to add that not only is the "tool use" section of the brain activated, but the "feelings, emotions, and relationships" section of the brain is turned off!
