Comment from LilHippie
Good for you!!! You are a very beautiful woman, God bless you. But, I know what you mean, it probably felt a little creepy too. But it is a compliment and nice to feel wanted. Your experience/story is well written. Wondering what your daughter and son said about this? Are they happy for you? Or concerned and worried about you? lol So let's see what happens from here. I guess you have a lot of choices to weed through! Good luck and be careful!

Thank you so much. When I said that this was a bizarre experience, I meant it. Personally, I think it's nuts that one picture can have that effect, but must admit, it's done my bruised confidence a lot of good! (cringe!)Alexis x
Comment from WLHall
Congrats to you for being so brave to post yourself in your new swimsuit. Have you found a suitable date yet? This is very well written, flowed nicely. And to have 3 novels to your name is incredible. You have a real talent for writing. Being so accomplished, I would love it if you took a look at my work, the latest one is still being promoted. It's a short story called "The Never Ending Path." Under WLHall And I have a number of other shorts so far. If you're too busy I can understand. I am just looking for some people to give me honest, clear criticism. I'm very new at this writing thing, but have done pretty well, say my critics, but I feel a need to rise higher. Keep up the great work you are doing.
Best Wishes from the USA

To be honest, I'm not taking any of if it too seriously, which could be because I'm not really ready, who knows. It's been a great moral booster, nothing more! I loved your review, and look forward to reviewing your work when things have settled down a bit. Thank you. Alexis x
Comment from Rattler
Very funny. Reminds me of the time I accidentally sent a email to the wrong person. No overwhelming response like that though. She just thought I was crazy.
Story read very well. At first I had no idea were it was going. Can't judge a book by it's cover..
Now all you need to do is photo shop the suit to another color and you get to do it all over. lol
Great read..

Thank you so much for persevering! What a great idea, I certainly don't want any more pictures taken, so that could be a perfect answer! Alexis x
Comment from wordsfromsue
So, did Marks and Spencer send you a complimentary swimsuit?!
I would think it's the least they could do! Wow, what an unexpected series of events. You do look rather smashing in your new suit. :-)
Did you spot any interesting messages from the dating site?
And forgive my cluelessness, what are the contracts for that you'll be signing?
Well, my sweet and silly friend, enjoy this daffy season of delights. :-)
I wait breathlessly for the new book!
Great to "see" you in a new post. :-)

Sadly not, but the company who handle they're PR put me in touch with a lot of people which may end up getting me a publisher, so fingers crossed! I have been offered a deal with the dating site, and I'm being paid to write articles on internet dating from a woman's perspective, so I think that one swimsuit has been a great investment! Thank you for your great review, I really appreciate it. Alexis x

The Red Swimsuit, I think "The Lady In The Red Swimsuit" is better. All the guys are interested in you because of your personality. The red swimsuit only added a little. Your story is great! Good-luck & regards.

Comment from debskatz
Hey alexis,
APPLAUSE!!! You go, girlfriend! I had wondered what had happened to you. I'm glad you didn't just fall off the face of the earth! And looking at that picture, I'm not at all surprised a bunch of horny guys wanted to contact you. You looking good!!!
I hope you get your daughter and friends to go through some of that email with you & find some nice guys to check out. There's absolutely no reason for you to spend another lonely New Year's, none whatsoever.
Found one tiny spag:
I had(,) however(,) uploaded a few recent pictures
I'm so tickled for you! Let us know how everything goes.
smiles,
deb

God, I'm still cringing, Debs, but must admit that once I got over the surprise, realised that it could help my writing career, so swallowed my pride!My kids think it's hilarious, and now call me 'mummy slapper!' Never mind, if it turns out being a career boost, I'll just have to live with it. Alexis x

Comment from Patti R.
Your writing style is very natural and easily read. I enjoyed the entire story. After looking at the photo attached I have no doubt that you will acquire many, many new 'fans' on this site in addition to what transpired on your dating site. I think you should stand proud and being a woman in her fifties - never looked so good!

The ironic thing is, I'm not that bothered if I meet someone else because I was blessed for nearly thirty years, but I would be lying if I didn't admit that it had been a great confidence boost! Thank you so much for your really lovely review. Alexis x
Comment from Ja9Johnson
What a lovely, lovely story! You are quite beautiful for any age, and the red suit is beautiful on you. Thanks for such a delightful read, and all I can say is, "You go, girl!!"

I can't thank you enough for this wonderful review and very generous six. I don't deserve you wonderful compliments, but love the 'go girl' aspect! I feel as though I have a voice for all the women over fifty, which is great. Thank you so much. Alexis x

haha. What a great story...and a great picture, of course. It's amazing how just one thing in our lives can change the course of a day or week. Nice post. :)
