Bikini Village

Why is this listed under Arts&Crafts? Is that because it’s basically an arts and crafts project to find a bathing suit that you like — get out the glue and the sparkles!
Now, I went in with a real need to get a bathing suit. They seemed to have one bathing suit, in a few different colours. No real variety, nothing that struck me as useful (i.e. a good bathing suit for swimming) OR as sexy (i.e a good bathing suit for standing). Everything looked… like it wouldn’t look good on. I was the only person in the store, but the two girls working there were chatting to each other, and no one ever asked if I wanted help.
Most bathing suits were very expensive as well. I tried to go back a few days later, but found the same indifferent service. I don’t need indifferent service when I’m buying something I hate buying; you want someone to convince you to buy it.

Is there anything worse than bathing suit shopping in the winter under fluorescent lights? No. No matter how much you love your lady bits (and bless you if you do!), this shiz is rough. Luckily, the Urban Eatery is stocked with A&W and a cornucopia of other junk foods and is housed in the same building.
Junk food fixes bikini woes… right? RIGHT?!
I appreciate that this store exists, and everyone needs bathing suits, but do we all really need patterned triangle bikinis and Hawaiian wraps? Is this the 90’s? I’d love to see the buyers stock some cooler vintage looks, or just some more muted colours. Softer lighting? That’d be nice, too.
The staff is very kind, though. They do get that bathing suit shopping is trying. Respect to them.
