The Red Swimsuit Story
The most bizarre week of my life.80 total reviews
Comment from RazberryBullet
LOL!!!--There in my inbox, were over three hundred messages, and as I stared at the screen in disbelief, they were coming in at a rate of two or three a minute. By the time I went to bed an hour later, there were about four hundred and fifty, and by the next morning, nearly six hundred.--The guys have gone nuts!
Wild!--The very complimentary response of a news agency contacting me and asking me if they could send a photographer around the next day came as no surprise
Looks like there might be a new life for you.--Life has been rather hectic, and next week looks to be the same, as several contracts have to be discussed. :)
It's all the funnier because it's true!!!

HAHAHAHAHHAHA :-D This is hilarious! You look GREAT for your age girl so I'm NOT surprised at the response!!
You definitely live your life with an adventurous soul! I LOVE it!
I was so happily surprised to see you in my mail box today. I LOVE reading your work and have so missed it!! There just isn't anyone else I enjoy reading on here, (right now).
This is well written with great humor. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming. You didn't disappoint! (As usual). :-D
Great job!
I'm very proud of you getting into your lovely swimsuit and you may get a new one from that store yet... :-)

How did I know that you of all people would enjoy this? Thank you so much for your fantastic and fun review. Here's hoping that the cringe worthy experience might find me a publisher! Take care, Alexis x

You are quite lovely for your age...or any age for that matter. Your smile glows and red is certainly a good color on you. I will want to read more of your work.

Comment from RebelRose
This is quite a story. We just never know when some spur of the moment fluke will suddenly spin out of proportion. What was the name of that dating site? I have a friend who is 65 and is still a knock-out in a swim suit. She would really make a splash (no pun intended) on that site.

It was called 'seniorfishdating.co.uk' but only covers the UK I'm afraid. I'm sure there will be something similar in the States, with a much bigger audience! Thank you so much for your review. Alexis x

Just looking at the photo of yours,I am convinced that I will be reading a beautiful story. You look very beautiful in this red swim suit. And after reading your story I was blown away with that experience of yours. Your story is as smarter as you by the look from your face. I enjoyed reading this story. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the whole experience was fairly surreal, albeit a huge laugh! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and fantastic six, I really do appreciate it. Alexis x
Comment from LAFraser
Oh, you poor thing! I hate shopping, too! I absolutely detest shopping and I am also a private person. This is a great story! Although I'm sure you were embarrassed, it must have also been a bit flattering. Something like that would give me a lift, even though my face would be as red as my hair, or swimsuit. You look great! Thanks for posting this story, it has been a pleasure to read. :)

I would be lying if I didn't admit that it did my confidence the world of good, but I still found the whole thing rather embarrassing! Yes, I'm sure if I'd known what was going to happen when my son took that picture, I wouldn't be looking quite so relaxed, and my face would probably have matched the swimsuit! Thank you so much for your lovely review. Alexis x

Hi Alexis. You'll have to read my Texas Tumbleweed story to find out what happened to me one time. That was embarrassing, also. However, it gave my entire family plenty to laugh about through the years. You have a great week! It's been good meeting you here.
Blessings,

I enjoyed reading your story so much, but you do look good in the pic. Isn't funny, we do things on the spur of the moment, and it changes our lives. Well done.

Comment from G.B. Smith
Hey there Alexis
I am glad it is you in the picture (by the way, you look (superb) every morning when I get out of the shower, there is this fat old man staring me down. I saw him and chickened out of the swimsuit. I wear a one piece that is right out of the 1800's. I take no chances. Your story is magnificent and the relationship with your daughter is admirable.

Thank you so much, Bear, your review is really appreciated. i was a good 15 pounds heavier when my husband was alive, but never felt fat because he made me feel good about myself. You guys have such a responsibility to us ladies moral! Alexis x
