But I remember seeing a 'swimsuit' in an ad that was clearly a camisole and board shorts. No idea where to find that again, but I sure wish it had caught on!

have been higher priorities lately - but I still lurk here

and occasionally stumble on something interesting to share.

These first three items are not wetlook pictures; rather

they provide information that could be useful if your

partner doesn't share your interests.  These would have to

be considered "almost but not quite wetlook", so she might

be more comfortable with them, yet they might still tickle

your fancy a bit.  (Better than nothing at all, and perhaps

a first step toward something more.)

1 - Here is some cute lingerie.  Of course, you can casually

point out that the manufacturer suggests this outfit can also

be worn as a swimsuit:

2 - If you love wet tennis dresses, but your partner wants to

wear a "real" swimsuit, this might be a suitable compromise:

3 - This is also a "real" swimsuit, but it might appeal

to some of you dennim lovers:

On a related note, did anyone notice the new line of

women's swimwear from Land's End?  It's styled so it

looks a lot like regular clothing, e.g. shorts and a

polo shirt or a skirt and tank top, but it's constructed

like conventional swimwear (stays modest when wet,

dries quickly, etc.)  According to the catalog, the idea

is to have a normal-looking outfit that can be worn while

gardening, going to lunch, shopping, or whatever -- but

whenever the lady passes a convenient body of water, she

can jump in and go for a quick swim, with no need to

change or carry extra clothing.  (Sorry, I didn't find

any online pictures.)  This could be yet another

possibility to suggest to your partner.

Last up is some true wetlook.  Here are a bunch of college

students in a fountain, including five /real/ cheerleaders

in their white uniforms.  Apparently there is a custom

whereby the band tosses each year's new cheerleading squad

into the fountain.  The girls know what's coming, but part

of the custom is that they wear their official uniforms

to the event, gloves and shoes included, and get dunked

in them.

There are more pages in the album, but this one (page 4)

has both before and after shots.  Click on the thumbnails

to get a bigger picture, then click on /that/ to get an

/even bigger/ picture.  These were taken from a bit far

away, but the biggest enlargements aren't bad.
