I don’t new cute Some ? wear What am I going to & flip-flops. I might up, cover a suit, ing bath A so. think , but I’ll be in only be at the pool for a couple of hours day. all i bikin my living in Key That’s one of the great things about clothes! When I of lot a West. We have lots of fun in not a bikini—no pack I sure make ys alwa I leave town now,

matter where I’m going. Boston in February? Bring a bikini! Snow boarding in Colorado? Bring a bikini! You just never know when you’re going to need it! Heading to Rick’s tonight? Can I wear my bikini?

The chicks in the Swimsuit Issue, in addition to wearing bikinis on sandbars & charter boats, also seem to think it’s cool to wear them at gay bars & tattoo shops. & it totally is!

What about bikinis after sunset? You know what I’m talking about. These are the girls that have spent the afternoon boozing it up at Salute!, Southernmost Beach Cafe or Sunset Pier. Once the sun goes down, the crowd thins out & people head up Duval to the Gecko or maybe down the boardwalk to Schooner Wharf. Instead of throwing on a sarong or a pair of board shorts, some of these girls have embraced a new phenomenon. Just keep rocking that bikini & sashay your ass down Duval. Maybe it’s a certain liquid confidence that comes with guzzling rum punch all afternoon, or maybe Key West girls (er, girls in Key West?) have embraced their bods for all to see at all hours of the day. Why not?!

Has Betty B. ever been one of these girls? I’m not telling.

Unfortunately, my fuddy-duddy-ness shows no signs of waning & seems to be expanding towards women’s bikinis too.

COVERING MY OWN ASS

by Leigh Pujado

Five years ago, I wrote an article for the BarTab magazine titled “The Needo for Speedo” that chronicled the history of & my prudishness towards the tiny Spandex male swim trunks. As the years have passed, one would hope my puritanical taste in swimwear would mellow & I would embrace any & all types of swimsuits, from the concealing to the revealing.

48

Now don’t get me wrong...I’m not wearing those Burk-inis that many Middle-Eastern women are swaddled in poolside. I’m not even in “The Swim Skirt” phase of my life yet. Like a good Key West girl, I love to buy myself a new, cute bikini at the top of the season each year. I try to keep myself in bikini shape, & although my shape hasn’t changed much in the last couple decades, the shape of bikini bottoms has changed. Namely, they are shrinking. What was once the common, cute little, roundish scoop bottom is being rapidly replaced by a thin strip of fabric approximately the width of standard duct tape.

Call it a “Tanga” or “The Cheekie,” it’s a whole lot of booty to be sporting in public. I don’t seem to notice it on other women at the beach or at the pool, especially when the skimp-suit model is young. But on an aging dame such as myself........it seems a bit obscene, almost “dirty old woman-ish.”

Which brings me to the flesh & bones of this story....namely my exposed flesh. Recently I was shopping at Wanderlust on Petronia Street. (It’s a totally cool boutique & you should already be shopping there!) In the midst of the artisan jewelry, hand crafted goods & beautiful island style dresses,

there was a rack of totally cute, reasonably priced bikinis. With my standard Size Medium, I rushed into the dressing room, certain I had found my swimsuit for the summer season. The top fit like a dream. The bottoms were cute as hell from the front. But as I turned around for the posterior view, I realized I was mooning myself in the dressing room mirror, a tiny strip of fabric barely covering the crack of my ass.

I thought to myself, “These swimsuits must run on the small side,� & I exchanged it for another suit two sizes larger. Back in the dressing room, I found myself with new troubles. I couldn’t keep the top up & the larger size was no wider on the back side but rather big all over. I was still mooning myself in the mirror but now, I also looked as if I had a load in my pants. Yea. Sexy, I know.

Defeated, I exited the dressing room sad & humbled, returning the bikinis to their rack to await discovery by their future, much younger owners. I told Casey, the shop owner, that the bikinis were adorable but I was unfortunately too old for them.

I bought a beach cover-up from her instead. cleighpujado@gmail.com drinkslingershandbook.com

S: I think they’re unavoidable, so you might as well embrace them.

BT: You realize they are avoidable, correct?

S: [laughs] I guess so. I don’t know. That takes some commitment.

Mandy Evans

25 years old / from Virginia Beach, VA find her at Better Than Sex, 926 Simonton St hair & makeup Infinity Hair Salon 126 Simonton Street [305] 296 6767 photos Nick Doll, NickDollPhotography.com BT: Years in Key West?

M: 5 years now.

BT: What are your favorite things about working at Better Than Sex? M: I love the people. I love the clientele. I get to come in to work & make jokes about rim jobs.

BT: What are some of your favorite things to do in Key West?

M: Getting on the water. I like using my kayak. I love fishing, any chance to get on a boat.

BT: Favorite beach in the Keys?

M: Probably Fort Zach. It has a lot of rocks, & you can actually get in the water.

63

BT: Tan lines, in or out?

M: It depends whose boat I'm on.

BT: What are your 3 top turn-ons?

M: Top turn-ons, a guy that listens, a guy that is up front about his intentions & a guy that likes to have a good time in moderation. [laughs] 64 kwBarTab.com

BT: 3 turn-offs?

M: I don't like a guy that's too shy. I don't want to have to make a first move, because I won't do it. I don't like guys that think they're the best. He can be cocky, just not too cocky. Guys with no motivation, big turn-off.

BT: Do you have a place on your body that drives you absolutely crazy?

M: No, I'm pretty comfortable with my body. I mean, it's what I've got to work with.

BT: No, no, no, not like that.

M: Ah! [laughs] Probably my neck.

BT: What are your favorite kinds of food?

M: I like desserts. I'm a big fan of desserts, especially the Peanut Butter Perversion that we have, super tasty.

BT: Nice plug.

M: [laughs] Yeah. You like that? Also I love Rim Jobs. [laughter] BT: Worst rumor ever said about you?

M: She looks really skinny. No, it's just her new boobs. Yep, that was a good one.

BT: What would you rather be tied up with, handcuffs, rope, scarves or panties?

M: Scarves. They're softer, but they can still be secure.

BT: That's a well thought answer.

BT: Screamer, moaner or talker?

M: [laughs] It depends on the situation.

BT: String bikinis, cleavage heaven, or wedgie central?

M: I've got a lot of butt. There's always going to be a bit of a wedgie, so I like them.

BT: So cleavage heaven or wedgie central?

M: I'd say cleavage heaven.
