A whole new meaning to tummy time!
Good afternoon GoodDarlings,
Did you go buck wild on yesterday’s Summer Solstice? It’s finally summer, speaking astronomically. Meteorogically, on the other hand, it’s the middle of summer. We’d love to lean one way or the other, but we’ve been at too many courtside meteorologist v. astronomer games to think there’s a consensus coming our way any time soon. Whichever side of the aisle you’re on, it’s at least FIRMLY bikini season now, THANK FLARPIN’ GOD. Strings, triangles, halters, french cut, high waisted, ruched, it’s never too late to find Your BikiniStyle™ and both sensationalize andnormalize your human body at your workplace. People got a problem with it! GROW UP! 👙
We write you as our fleshed, tanned buns get goosepimples at this very air conditioned Starbucks Reserve, where we do some of our best thinking. Where do you do your best BikiniThinking?
Now, time to throw on a two-person big t-shirt and make our way to the theater, the one place we DON’T wear our bikinis, ironically. We find it distracts patrons who start seeing us as delectable humanoid meat slices instead of respectable humanoid proprietors. We, respectably, have a delightful summer of shows for you to soak up, and we’d like to tell you more about them. Which we’ll do just riiiight down there ⬇️.
Lovingly,
VanJam
