The added buoyancy is great! Hehehe.

I just wear board shorts and a t shirt over the suit. Protects me from burning. But not from a jellyfish in the face the last time. Ouch!

I was admirin' my nice abs in the mirror with an "awww yeah", then pulled my shirt up a touch and was like, "um, those might cause some awkwardness at the beach" LOL.  :D

I laughed my ass off at the "awww yeah" part. XD
Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.

Yeah, too many surgical scars on the abdomen.  It's a one-piece for me and the world will thank me for it!

I have some stretch marks on my tummy, it looks exactly like the ones that would have resulted from a pregnancy, so I am with you on the one piece.

Ask me in six months when it's summer in Sydney again. Admittedly our winters aren't that bad (certainly nothing freezes). I think I'd get a one piece though, more slimming.

My sister and I were discussing exercise, and she thought I should start swimming. I thought "That's a great idea! Do I own a swim suit? Why don't I own a... Oh. Right. That thing." She keeps forgetting that me being taller than her is not the only difference.

As soon as my new parts are water-soluble,
You bett your butt I'm hitting the beaches. I've spent way too much time without experiencing the magic of sand in my vagina - and, well, it's just about time to change that. :$

That actually works really good! I've got some cute really short cutoffs I made just for that :)

Well, I could combine bikini with a skirt to cover that mess between my legs. But since both my eyes and skin are very sensitive to light I'll stay with my lovely paleness :-) .

I love walking on the beach at night, maybe making a bonfire and hanging out with friends, my pale skin can't do the whole being out in the sun thing. Also I probably look better at night lol

Thanks for that idea Hikari! I think I'll do just that when I have a vacation at the end of July and two of my friends from Italy fly to Czech to visit me. We don't have a sea but still, there are quite a few lakes and even some ponds here :-) .

I may be on estrogens for just 2 months + 5 extra weeks on antiandrogens but being 182cm tall (not that rare in Czech) with initial measures of 86-80-90 the only problem I really have is the thing I won't get rid of until like next fall :-) . I yet have to remeasure as it changed surprisingly a lot at breast and hips.

PS: In case you have different female size system then it goes like this in centimeters around:
1.) Chest across breast
2.) Waist
3.) Hips

EDIT: Added the missing word "around" to the PS section although I guess it's obvious :-)

I assume laser depilation. My 5th comes on Wednesday 25th.

About me being a mountain I think you should take a flight to Prague. I'm by far not the tallest. However I'm among the slimmest :-) .

Actually I was shopping today with the help of my colleague and we found a dress for like a 2 meter tall woman :-D . I wanted to put a picture in but it failed. I guess I can't link an image yet.
