It's Dress a Popple Day, ladies! YEEPIE! And today we are helping out our dear popple Karla Sugar who is looking for a hot bikini. Aren't we all? I know mine I found two years ago is starting to show a little wear. This will be a great chance for ALL of us to look for a swimsuit- come on, you know you want to! Karla has looked high and low at several stores: Target, AE, Macy's, Gap, Smart Bargains, and Old Navy and has not had any luck. These are her prerequisites: youthful, not dowdy, two-piece, and bra-style top. Bonus for being on sale/reasonably priced!

So let's see what we can find and if you want you can do several suits in a blog or coordinate a whole look for one suit.

AND you can post pics with links or you can do widgets, either way.

Here are some inspirational places Karla might be wearing her suit:
Schlitterbahn in TX, only the best waterpark in the world! See the wave pool that wraps around the bottom of the pic, it has 12 ft. waves. So freaking fun!

This is only a quarter of the entire park. It is HUGE.

Rawwrrr! Hopefully she doesn't encounter any scary movie sharks!

Swim away! Swim away! Dont cry- you look fab!

I love this- you can send a person's pic to this company and they inserts it in Jaws' mouth! Wouldn't this have been a great Father's Day gift?

He's so unconcerned...
Maybe she'll make a hot sandcastle!!!!!!

Okay I think I have a thing for water parks. Little side story- last year for my 30th birthday I decided that I wanted to go to the joint amusement park and Hurricane Harbor water park in MA. Yeah. I called it my *white trash birthday*. So we went and had so much fun! My favorite was the waterpark side and this was my favorite ride- this funnel thing. You went back and forth after you got spit into the top of it and finally shot through the end. Hubby was petrified and didn't want to ride- after I got him on it and into the straw that fed into the funnel (which you went into blindly) he just bit his lip the whole time and was completely silent. I screamed my head off. Then he wanted to go again just to conquer it. It's the blue and yellow thing... AAAAH! Good times!

That's the end
Okay back to Karla- maybe rafting in the kini- she'd be the hot one!

Miami South Beach?

He's ready to race you!
Here's the total Hampton's socialite. Rockin the "Oh I look hot but I didn't try" look. On the beach you will never see because they are all hidden by 11 ft. tall privet hedges.

Okay this is a more realistic Hampton's chick:

(BTW, Karla if you do have a house in the Hamptons we totally want to go! )
How about Hippie Hollow in Austin, TX. Naw, you don't need a suit...

And we'll end with Gayhead on Martha's Vineyard. Only the most beautiful beach that has gorgeous red cliffs and makes you feel as if you are somewhere exotic. Plus part of it is nude as well so you COULD pretend you were in France or something...


Okay, so I know I didn't do anything on the West Coast, actually wasn't Jaws filmed there? So scratch that, I covered everything in the contiguous USA. Other countries are left to your imaginations so let's get out there and find some bra style suits!
Good luck, girls!

UPDATE: Hubby has informed me Jaws was filmed on the Vineyard. So you West Coasters and non-USAer's are officially neglected!
