Summer. You figure that with summer there will be all sorts of eye candy, pretty much everywhere, and people will at least double their efforts to make themselves look hella hot in their new summer outfits. I’m pretty sure that applies elsewhere, but I swear it doesn’t in the Bronx. Its a all year-round ugliness fiesta, and half ass attempts to look decent. It seems to be a trend where girls wear jeans 3 times smaller and then have the nerve to wonder why their fat rolls off the top and they look like a damn mushroom, or why their ass crack shows, women who wear sandals and their feet are as gray as ash. How bout some girls who paint their nails and pretty much skip the clean up process, they walk out with more nail polish on their skin then their nails. Its pretty gross.
I’m sorry but its already bad enough that its hot outside, my eyes don’t have to suffer as well. Its not hard to buy lotion, they inexpensive, and sold just about everywhere in all sorts of flavors, sizes and types. If you feet/legs/arms are ashy or feel dry, then lotion is a must, out there are tons of lightweight lotions to wear just for summer, make use of them. If you can’t paint your own nails, that’s what nail salons are for, and here in NY there’s hundreds if not thousands (they are freaking everywhere). If you can’t seem to hid the fat that sits over your jeans, its pretty obvious that you need to start buying jeans in your size, not the size you wish you were. With skinny jeans out and about its not impossible to get jeans that fit tight around the legs and comfortable around the waist. Also its known to be a great idea and buy jeans with a higher waist, this way people aren’t blinded by the crack of your ass. Perhaps buy a belt too. Just saying.
Summer is suppose to be a great holiday with a little less than 3 months of it people should at least look as good as the weather is. while all that applies with summer outfits, bathing suits is a whole other deal.
Heres some problems people seem to have, and a possible solution:
- Wear a bathing suit in your size. If you weight has been changing throughout the year, best chance your gonna need a new bathing suit this year. Even if you feel that your weight hasn’t changed, its still a good idea to try your old one on first (in your house) and see how it fits. If your ass can barely fit, its time for a new bottom, if your boobs aren’t being kept up by the top, then its time for a new one. Bathing suit tops should work like a bra (lift and hold), flimsy ones don’t cut it, plus they seem to be terrible for hiding nipples. Bottoms should contain the unseenables/neitherregions. I don’t want to see most of your ass or your pubes stick out of your bathing suit.
- Get a bathing suit that matching what you wear and wear sunblock. Don’t buy tops with thick straps, if you like to wear tube style tops and dresses. Tan lines aren’t as sexy as you think. they do sell tube top bathing suits. Sunblock is essential all year round and a must wear if your sensitive to the sun. But during the summer, skip the suntan lotion and grab sun block instead. It protects your skin from premature wrinkles and avoids heavy tans. This way you can have a nice sun kissed look without getting too tanned and looking dirty.
- Get a bathing suit that goes with your age and weight. I for one wear shorts to over my bikini bottom, mainly because I don’t want anyone seeing my ass. Simple as that. Its know that as you get older likely start to dress your age, while some women are in denial and dress the age they wish they still were, terrible result in the end. Anyway bathing suits shouldn’t be worn that way. Modesty goes a long way, you don’t have to show it all, especially if your heavyset (no offense to anyone with more to love). Wearing a bathing suit that accentuates your body shape and flatters you, its the way to go. the main goal is to look good in a bathing suit.
- Shave, especially if your a girl, nothing makes you look more nasty than body hair in places were the sun don’t shine. If you know that shaving the day after your first shave hurts, then time your self or buy lotions and creams that help reduce the appearance of hair, or the annoying bumps and redness that comes with shaving. shave your legs too, I’ve noticed that may women who shave too often get weird bumps on their legs, I also noticed that it happens often with cheap razors. A major no-no! invest in more expensive ones like Venus, Schick, etc. Shaving cream also helps a lot, these razors are designed to avoid these unsightly bumps, and damange to the skin. Its worth it.
Well this is all I can think of thats been a major bother to me since summer started.

From the last post, all is getting better. My grandmother and mom and have been helping me pay off the tuition and I’m ready to get a job pretty soon. A little nervous since it would be the first time I’m working a real job. I’ve volunteered… but that’s totally different. Also that lack of confidence I mentioned last post went away pretty fast the last two days of my bartending class. Sounds weird but true. I’m ready to kick some ass and prove I can make these drinks, although some studying is needed just to refresh my memory. I’m lacking in some pretty popular drinks normally made around where I live. Mainly because the course covered different types of drinks for different types of establishments (lounges, bars, clubs, frat bars, etc), to help us find several types of jobs. Anyway I want to work in the Bronx, Manhattan isn’t my thing, found like two places I wouldn’t mind working at…. I guess I’ll find out when go for a interview.
