My older sister, Michele and I in 1976. I guess I was going for the patriotic theme that year with the red (of course!) bikini. I'm so pleased that this photo is blurry so you can't quite make out the "Mary-Ann" pig-tails I had going on in my hair.

Jump forward over a decade with this one. I sagaciously placed the boogie board between me and the camera, so it barely counts as a swim suit photo, but I'm using it anyhow. I lived in Hawaii at the time this was taken, and if I recall correctly this was the day I was being sucked out by the undertow. I wore fins most of the time, but it appears that I forgot to on that day.

This is what it looks like after spending about 10 hours in one day sitting in the sun by the pool on a cruise ship. They start coming around offering to bring you nice drinks with umbrellas in them somewhere around 10:30 in the morning, and being the polite person that I am, I just can't refuse. How many drinks can one drink in a 10 hour stint? I have no idea, but judging by this photo, quite a few!
