Beach ready bodies

I see there's a campaign in Spain to get rid of this nonsensical idea.

When did it begin anyhow? I'm sure years ago people didn't have access to fake tans, body buffers etc

Did girls at boarding school shave their legs or have their bikini lines waxed before going swimming.

Did tired mothers with no labour saving devices have time to worry about cellulite?

I would love to see a new generation of women feeling comfortable hitting the beach on the spur of the moment no matter what they look like. I'm sure many do, but many more feel intimidated and uncomfortable.

MissAdventure The best reason I know for completing my outfit by buying myself a cold shoulder top, although quite how one wears leggings and shorts on the beach I am not sure. I might pass on that and just wear shorts.

On this topic, I found this pic on the BBC website.

I can’t help wondering how many GNers would be as keen to flash quite so much of their ample assets as the woman on the right!
