My favorite thing about growing up when I did (late eighties/early nineties) was the fact that I could wear hot pink bodysuits. I used to think bodysuits were the coolest- kind of awkward to snap, but they stayed nicely tucked and never bunched in the top of my pants like my other tops. Plus, what could possibly look more fly than a hot pink bodysuit under some lime green stirrup pants? I topped off my stylin' look with my huge blue plastic-frame glasses and buck teeth. Hot.
Another plus of the bodysuit is the fact that donning one made it very easy to pretend to be a gymnast. I could strap on ye' old leotard/bodysuit and do a floor routine that would make your headspin. Just call me Shannon Miller. Granted, my routine was full of somersaults and dorky turns. I couldn't do a cool handstand like this girl:
(I am giving her bonus points for executing this move on a gradient. It's hard enough to do on the ground, but man- balancing yourself on a soft mauve gradient must be crazy.)Anyway, American Apparel is bringing bodysuits back and they're selling like hotcakes. This girl's rockin' it:
I think bodysuits rule, and I want to wear them again. There's just one problem- my middle. It's a little doughy. In fact, my body kind of reminds me of a biscuit can that has been popped open in the center. My legs and upper body are nice, but that gut- yikes. I really have no right to complain about it since I haven't modified my diet or really worked out in ages.

Needless to stay, the bodysuit dream will just swing in my mind like a tiny gymnast on the uneven bars.
