Straps are great!

Unless you can demonstrate that the incidence of skin cancer has increased on the upper butt cheeks and the midsection--areas covered by a traditional one-piece bathing suit--then I don't think you can argue that wearing bikinis leads to skin cancer.

Women wear bikini swimsuits primarily to go out in the sun. That more skin is exposed by a bikini obviously increases the risk of sun damage versus other swimwear styles all other things being equal.

I could stand to do some crunches myself...believe me, I'd look terrible in a bikini.

I hope I didn't sound snarky, I really didn't men to be

You are dog!

No, take that back that woman is a dog. Throw her a bone.

Nope, sorry. Ladies in their middle years do not post bikini-clad pictures of themselves on the Internet—at least, not if they have any sense of discretion. But thanks for the interest and the implied compliment!

I get the feeling he and Al Frankin would make good buddies.

Now for me, I'd look good on either one of those ladies {;^)
