In honour of I AM GOING TO HAWAII IN JANUARY TO PRESENT PAPERS AND SEDUCE CABANA BOYS and also I AM GETTING PAID THIS WEEK, I have decided to finally get an Esther Williams swimsuit. Esther Williams swimsuits have been the object of much covetousness on my part for some time.
But should I get purple or brown? The brown is very chocolatey and delicious and would look good with my hair. The purple is very vibrant and delicious and would also look good with my hair. My first instinct was CHERRY PRINT! GET THE CHERRY PRINT! but I have curbed that instinct because the goal is to look like a classy 1950s beach vixen (from space), not a late-1990s-rockabilly-loving teenager who spends their allowance at Hot Topic. Um, leopard print is also open for consideration at this point as well. Polka dots are out because they are kind of played out these days.
And also, Dear Esther Williams, please will you redesign your website so that you look like you are running a reputable business, and not an identity theft ring? I’m not worried, because I know you actually do sell swimsuits because I know of people who have bought them (and write excellent fashion blogs), but, honestly. It looks like someone made your website out of paste. The kind in a jar, with a stick, commonly found in kindergarten classrooms.
Purple.
OMG Alexandra, why do you have to post such lovely wonderful fabulous things that make me look at the internet for hours at a time coveting swimsuits and shoes and tulle dresses and a bajillion other items that I cannot afford but want, no, NEED to buy? So pretty!
P.S. I’m starting a women’s group at the high school I work at with Elena Fernandez who used to go to Laurier and was involved with the Women’s Centre and says she remembers you and Amy G and Alysia. Small world!
Also, if you are going to Hawaii, why not go for the very pretty “Aloha” pattern Esther?
Purple.
Hahahah I know, seriously, what is up with that website?? It totally does look like an identity theft ring. I vote leopard print, because it’s impossible to look trashy in such a classic style of swimsuit, but brown or purple would also be fabulous!
I like the Fantasy Island – Pink, but barring that, purple.
I think the best part of the terrible site is the over pixelated banner with both Mistral and Esther’s custom type.
The problem with the purple is that it’s not a dark eggplanty purple – it’s kind of light and not my favorite kind of purple.
And I have been researching and writing about exotica (ie: Tiki, lounge singers, the 1950s) all week this week, which has caused me to throw caution to the wind and order the leopard.
damn it! The classic sheath in leopard was what i wanted to order. but maybe it’s a good thing that you’re getting it instead, since i can’t really afford an $80 swimsuit. I’ll just get a bikini at Target.
