I'm a fan of the classic string bikini, but I'll do cheeky bottoms (in more of the sporty style, especially with a T-back or racerback top), depending on where I'm going/what I'm doing. I also like string tops, halters, bandeaus.
Generally, I like moderate butt-coverage, like this:
I don't do g-strings, full thong, micro-bikinis or anything really over the top or cheesy. It's not about body confidence - it's more about personal taste and I think some of those styles can veer toward looking a little tacky, not to mention kind of non-functional if you enjoy doing more than just tanning and standing around.
Some swimwear brands that I like and own pieces from - L*Space, LeTarte, Kaohs Swim, Vitamin A. I have a couple of fashion brand bikinis as well (Burberry, D&G, La Perla). I have a couple of older ones from Victoria Secret. Generally for me, it's all about the fabric - I also hate padding and overly structured styles.

I have the deepest respect for the moderators at this site. In the short time I've been posting here I have encountered several and all of them have been understanding, kind and helpful. They are one of the reasons that posting stories at this site is so enjoyable.
In a previous post I said that sometimes it's fun to color outside the lines. What I failed to say, is that before we venture to color outside the lines it's essential that we understand the lines and why they exist. This is a community of amateur writers. Many of us benefit from a little guidance. I certainly do.
Dirty_D I use quite a bit of dialogue in my stories. That was actually what originally drew me to this thread. The first moderator I encountered at this site graciously helped me clean up the punctuation in the dialogue in my current story. While she was an excellent teacher and made me a better writer, I still have a lot of room to grow. This week I plan to read your guidelines. Thank you for taking the time to provide a resource for us.
e.e. Cummings did color outside the lines, but he had a firm understanding of the lines and why they existed. I think that's one of the important differences between scribbling and art.

I cannot help myself but to nit pick this, sorry. You discarded my initial post to the OP, not really sure why, maybe because I am against one pots when it comes for diabetic diet and you are pro them..you did say that "low starch assists the body. so a low pasta, potato, and bread content is the much more important" and I don't think that low starch in pasta and bread is good for anyone specially for diabetics.
honestly there is nothing better on the diet market for diabetics as my suggestions to the OP (apart from the new protein theory), or let me refraze this and make every one happy, there is nothing better on the diet market for diabetics in my part of the world and what I know about it.
Quote by She
hahha you might be right, but you know damn well that healthier way to find starch is in other food than in bread and pasta, I know you know that. I am not advocating the new theory, I mentioned what I read specially after your post about pasta and bread. I was trying to explain myself and my first post. I think there is absolutely nothing better to do (if we ignore new research about the proteins) food wise for diabetics. And you are right, exercise is number one, but I am sure doctor has mentioned that to OP's man.
beside as I said before, he needs to educate himself about his diet with his doctors, I am sure they are helpful at least they are here across the Atlantic.

by coincidence I read a few days ago that actually carbohydrates (such is pasta, bread and other pastry) are not so good for the patients with insulin problems (but cereals are in most unrefined form possible) proteins actually helped to improve health. how accurate it is I don't know, but my post is quite accurate for diabetics and their diet, at least where I come from, and to tell you the truth US is quite high on the list with diabetics and diets for it might not be that accurate or people are not following them..
The whole point of diet for diabetics is the way food is prepared, it shouldn't be overly cooked with tons of adjectives like broth stocks, salt, soy sauce, already prepared sauces (anything that is already prepared to easy our life, not even caned things..), it should be light, by that I mean, steamed, cooked for few minutes or baked but only on bit of oil separately than other ingredients on the plate. light plate.
there is tons about the diabetic daily plate on the internet.
this is how light plate looks like
beside, there are few reasons why someone becomes diabetic..three mayor reasons are that maybe someone inherited it, or because of the high stress or because of unhealthy eating habit which is, heavy greasy food, pastry and bread, sugar..
Quote by She
healthy, cheep and quick you say.. It is not easy one. However, what I do know about diabetics is that they should reduce salt to a minimum. No fried food, no greasy food, no heavy food, no sugar of course, with limited fruits as well. They should eat steamed vegetables (or boiled for couple of minutes literally) without any salt, some meat aside without sauces or any other additions but salt and pepper. You should check which kind of fish he can eat, but for sure he cannot have any pre-prepared, pre-cooked or frozen food at all (if it is not plain vegetable)
So, one pots if it is not soup or vegetable minestrone, is quite heavy thing. He should avoid one pots actually, they are heavy, they need to be cooked for a while and the product is not good for your boyfriend.
for my veggie soup with cheek-peas you'll need
-onion (fried on one spoon of olive oil until brownish)
-add small cubes chopped tomato with 3 spoons of water to help it start cooking
-then add green beans cut on thirds and add just a bit off water
-add spinach leaves and water to cover the whole thing
-add pre-soaked and precooked cheek-peas (do not add salt to dry cheek-peas until they are completely cooked, otherwise you'll never get them soft and tasty.
Leave it on fire until veggies are cooked, about 15-20 min, add very few salt and pepper.
If you cannot eat it like that you can always blend it, but it would be a shame since texture of it is delicious.But the best thing for your household is to get educated about illness. I am sure any doctor will help you with advise what and how to eat by the new regime. good luck.

Quote by HeraTeleia
Indian/Pakistani/Malay/Filipino men with white women, and vice versa. Black men with every hue of woman you can think of, and again, vice versa. Central American men with white women, and vice versa.
Quote by asklan
To the best of my knowledge, there are three styles for writing dialogues:
1. David said, "Those who get here first with their water bottles filled. They shall win the race."
2. David said: "Those who get here first with their water bottles filled. They shall win the race."
3. David said: Those who get here first with their water bottles filled. They shall win the race.
Usually the first style, the one with a comma (,) is used for short quotations of less than ten words. The latter two with a colon (are used for longer quotations.
I also know that it is not any fast and hard thumb rule to use the above as exact. Writers may adopt for their choice of style, but if anybody could please tell me whether the latter two styles are accepted on Lush stories. I would really appreciate it.
