I was quite clearly responding to post 50 originally, which does mention her breasts and likely inability to find fitting tops.

Keep it classy. :rolleyes:

> Her breasts are larger than a GG? I don’t believe that one bit, but even if it were true, they sell bigger swim tops than even the ones I linked to. [Here’s one](http://www.figleaves.com/us/product/FBF-AS3330/Freya-Swim-Fever-Underwired-Plunge-Bikini-Top-For-Larger-Cup/?size=34JJ&colour=Pinks) that comes all the way up to JJ, for the record. Seriously, her boobs are big, but part of what is making them look so enormous is that they are so droopy due probably to her weight loss and ill fitting swim suit. Here’s a link to a blog from a girl who wears a 36 GG and her breasts are much larger than the lady in the OP, they just look much more compact and higher because she’s actually wearing proper foundation garments.

Or you could go with a [vintage style bikini](http://www.unique-vintage.com/swimsuits-piece-swimwear-c-417_418.html?osCsid=9d28fc4e0018497715d0a830ecac2136), which does flatter fuller busts.

And has fuller bottoms.

The thing is: I get it. I do. You lose a bunch of weight and you want to show off. I am totally guilty of this from time to time. Ultimately though, if you want to wear your maybe a bit too revealing string bikini, you wear it at an adult pool party or the beach or something like that. I can’t imagine wanting to flaunt myself at a kid’s water park. Time and place appropriateness and all that.

Unless she has a big honkin’ tattoo on her back that says, “Fuck 'em all” or something similar, I think the park management was out of line. And they weren’t asking her to cover her back, so maybe they are terrified at the sight of a 40 year old woman having cellulite or something.

Yeah, surely it MUST be the woman who isn’t telling the whole story, and not the snotty, shallow, minimum wage park employees!

I am bigger than a GG and she is bigger than me. And, no, I haven’t fondled any women’s breasts other than my own.😃

First they kicked out the big titted woman in the string bikini,  
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a big titted woman in a string bikini…

Pssst! It’s a New Zealand commercial. You don’t think it’s warm enough in Britain for them to dress like that, do you? 🙂

Thanks for the info. I think the first time I saw it it was labeled as British.

Nitpick - the ad is either kiwi or aussie.

My bet is on Kiwi

Her suit doesn’t look any worse than a lot of people’s when she’s standing still so I’ll bet her bottoms do something bad while she frolics or lands after going down the slide. I can see it creeping up so much it shows too much front and back.

Definitely Kiwi - togs is Kiwi, bathers is Aussie. Budgie Smugglers should be illegal in any country.

When the DIL was in college she did a report of tattoos and shared a book that, among other things, had pictures of a woman who had a growing collection of life sized penis tattoos. She said her boyfriend had suggested it as a way to get over her body shyness. She was up to nine at the time the photos were taken. Three or four of them looked like they were hanging from a thong around her neck.

She was slightly short and slim and had one of those happy, shy smiles.

I have seen much much worse when I go to water parks. From what I’ve seen I’m surprised they even let those people in with such skimpy bathing suits! Her on the other hand, if they told her to put on shorts for what ever reason and she did then there shouldn’t be any problem! The whole weight thing was wrong to begin with! Imagine that poor ladies self esteem after being kicked out over weight! People wear bikini’s and in my opinion she shouldn’t have been kicked out because it was not that big of a deal.

Togs for this Aussie, but it’s a word that’s been chucked in the bottom draw for a few decades, possibly next to the garment itself.
