Flash The Flesh: Swimwear

When a group of bloggers join together for a chat you know that the final result has to be super!! And so this happened once more when, a few days ago, we were talking about our preferences between mini and maxi and Becky thought that it would be great to create a challenge which goal was to show a little bit more skin and our body (but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so it was born “Flash the Flesh”.

As this was my idea, i wanted to give you a bit of my thinking behind the challenge is to flash a little flesh, how you do this is up to you, but it could be getting your legs out, getting your arms out, getting your cleavage out, wearing a crop top and showing your belly, or a mixture of these, but i just want people to be proud of their bodies and proud to show them off, all too often we shy away from getting it out because we fear others will judge, mock or laugh, but i say lets stick two fingers up to those people and love our bodies for what they are, fat and fabulous!

This is a special edition of Flash the Flash....we are doing Swimwear!

Now this was so outside my comfort zone, i don't think i have even been this naked on the blog and when i took the photos i winced a bit at seeing my fat rolls, my big hips, the top of my thighs has been an issue of mind for years now, my big belly, i felt vulnerable for one of the first times posting pictures like this, everyone would see what i really looked like without the aid of good clothes to hide the lumps and bumps. I had a moment where i thought 'god i can't post these' but then i gave myself a mental slap and looked at the positives in the pictures, my legs look fab, my boobs, in a bikini top with limited support, still look good and yes i have big hips but they give me a womanly curvy shape and i slowly started to see that my body is beautiful no matter what and that i need to be nicer to it.

(Please excuse the sun burn, i was a silly billy and didn't put sun scream on at the beach in the week).
