I think she looks great! I've always been a little self-conscious of people staring at my breasts (which have oddly grown since I lost weight - I lost weight everywhere -except- the bust so the cup size went up, I'm a 34F now) so I don't think I could wear a small bikini top like that in public, but I'm a huge fan of the tankini. It gives me nice bust coverage, but still makes me feel sexy and fits in a flattering way. I'm tall and have a looooong torso, I've never bee able to find a one-piece that didn't ride up at the butt and pull down at the shoulders and look absolutely ridiculous on me. There's so much more to it than "skinny" or "fat". Hips, bust, thighs, and confidence, they all play huge parts on what looks good on who. I mean, we've all seen those photos of Nicole Richie with her swimsuit literally hanging off her like a baggy diaper, can anyone honestly tell me that's more attractive than the lovely Keeley in her bikini. Not that I'm ragging on skinny girls, but when you don't even have enough meat to fill out a few ounces of lycra, you should find something else to wear... I admire her confidence!

It's a matter of personal preference. Keely has big breasts, too, so she fills out her 'kini nicely. I have a pooch, so there are no bikinis for me. It’s a matter of personal preference.

Plus a bajillion points for having (and keeping!) Pierce Brosnan. If the girl is comfortable enough with her body, who am I to judge the suit she chooses?

Second, the bikini depends on the poochiness of the stomach. A big girl with a relatively unpoochy stomach might select the bikini for it's superior underwire support at the bust and for the ability to buy different sizes on top and on bottom. It's not a look I'd be comfortable in, but rock on, bikini sisters.

As for me (size 16), I have a bikini with a bikini top and a flirty little skirted bottom. I've always disliked regular bikini bottoms because they look like underwear. I also despise one pieces because they look like a big onesie and you still don't avoid that underwear look. I think that women should wear what they're comfortable in. I have a friend (size 24) that had avoided pools and swimsuits for years. With gentle encouragement she bought a one piece with a skirted bottom from Torrid. Now she LOVES swimming again. She has a wonderful confidence to her and she looks gorgeous in that suit. She looks sexy! As for me (size 16), I have a bikini with a bikini top and a flirty little skirted bottom.

Why should any woman of any size or weight be relegated to one piece suits? A thin (wet) layer of fabric over your torso doesn't hide anything anyway. Many ample women have exceptionally beautiful flesh and the beach is a place where it appropriate to reveal it. Having said this, I probably won't be wearing a two piece soon, because I have some gnarly abdominal scars... but if I didn't, I might just go for it this summer.

I've never liked one-piece suits: they never support my breasts and I cannot get tanned on my belly! What a beautiful woman!
