Been out to Findley State Park again this week and last... still pretty peaceful. Laid out in a g-string for good hour and no bothers at all. I even had the privelege to take a nude hike around yesterday for about 30 minutes as there was no one there between the storms rolling through! Love the place!

 I'll put this one out there to ask... has anyone ever had any luck wearing a thong in a hotel pool? 

 Went to Mentor Headlands Beach today. Hot damn, was it ever nice out! Perfect.-Did I see any fellow thongers there? No. (Usually never down that beach.)-Any topless girls? No. (Never down that beach.)....Anyhow, it was SO FREAKIN' NICE down there today! I have to say, since they made part of Edgewater Beach a dog beach area  I think Mentor Headlands might be better now. If I can't tan nude, Mentor Headlands is the nicer beach.- Have a great summer everyone!!!

 heading out to findley state park tomorrow afternoon if anyone is interested in joining....

 Went to Flex Spa yesterday (Friday 9/24/15) and laid out naked. I really like it there. Too bad girls can't go!!! At Flex I don't have to feel weird being the only thonger or getting busted being nude, like I do when I'm at the beach.

And no tan lines!
When I first starting going there, you either had to be nude (which I love) or wear a towel around yourself. Now I noticed the last year they let guys wear bathing suits and thongs there, which is nice for those who like to be a bit covered up.
Looking back, it was a nice but rainy summer here. 
Over and out.

Just got back from Mentor Headlands today, boy was it nice out! I wanted to stay an extra hour but I know better, two hours plus a little extra is enough. I love to be tan, but it is bad for your skin (especially sunbeds, but that's another story).

I was the only one in a thong there, as usual. No topless girls either, even though it's legal, but that's Ohio for ya (sighs).

flossy, there is still hope! Friday afternoon I was at Edgewater and there were 3 other guys out in thongs. And to my surprise, one topless girl in nearly a thong as well. With them turning the farther half of the beach to the dog beach others and I included have been laying on the main beach between the last lifeguard chair and the rocks. This really helps me feel more relaxed since it eliminates that "weird feeling" you mentioned previously of being the only thonger since the guards are right there and don't care. I think it helps others know that it's ok. Hopefully my past few trips havn't been flukes and we'll see more and more thongs.

 OK kbugg, where's the best place to park so as to get to that place between the lifeguard chair and the rocks?  I'd be coming in from out of town and I don't know the area.

I'd say the best place is the main parking lot just East of the beach

 Went to Mentor Headlands again today. Man, was it nice out! As usual, I was the only one thonging it, but that is to be expected in conservative Ohio.

 I'll be at findley state park tue 9/20 between 9am and noon hiking in tights and possibly thonging if it warms up enough if anyone is interested in meeting up.

 Went to Flex Spa twice already to lay out, nice weather. I see a lot more guys laying out wearing bathing suits there now, but I for one like to tan nude where I can, and this is the only place around I know of you can lay out naked at.

I will hit the beach as soon as the lake warms up a bit more. I need to submerge in water whenever I suntan, and the lake is still a tad cold for me.  

 Went to Mentor Headlands beach on the 4th of July, which violated my rule to "never go to the beach on a holiday" - it's always packed with lots of people who never normally go there - "amateurs." But it was so nice out, I just HAD TO go. 

It was a great day down there: breezy, but not too breezy where the sand kicks up. Water was nice but a little choppy. I didn't see any other thongers besides myself, but that's the way it usually is down there. 

People at Headlands seem much more acceptable & respectable towards me then at Edgewater. 

By the time I left at 2 pm? It looked like almost every parking spot was full. It's usually NEVER like that, just the opposite. 

Have a good summer everyone!

 Went to Mentor Headlands beach today. I've also been to Flex Spa a few times since last visiting this website.

Mentor Headlands was beautiful today. What a great beach.

Perhaps I'll go to my old beach, Edgewater, sometime before August is over and done with? Feels odd, but summer is almost over again. Kinda sad.

I still love to spend the day at Headlands when the weather allows. Edgewater park is also nice, especially since MetroParks took it over and cleaned it up a lot. There are still some thongers laying out on the East end of Headlands and a topless girl here and there, but not as many as there use to be a couple years ago. They finished building a new boardwalk through the dunes from the parking lot to the beach on the East end, so there is more foot traffic. If your looking for a secluded place, you may want to head a little further East to Geneva State Park. They have a huge beautiful beach there and it is almost never crowded.

I read the flossy666 post that he liked to visit Flex in Cleveland, so I gave it a try a couple weeks ago. I thought it was just an indoor health club, with an indoor pool and workout room, but was pleasantly surprised. They do have both of those, along with a sauna, steam room, hot tub, group showers, a couple movie theaters, and private room rentals. Very nice place and is kept very clean. I wore my zebra thong and laid out around the pool for several hours just relaxing and enjoying the view. Most guys wore towels or small speedos and I was the only one in a thong. Maybe because I was wearing a sexy thong, but for some reason, several of the guys thought it would be okay to touch me in my swimsuit area or massage my backside. Even though it felt good, I put a stop to it early on. I loved swimming in the pool wearing my thong because it was almost like wearing nothing at all. Once wet, my thong is almost transparent, so I covered up as I climbed out of the water. Several guys said I didn't have to cover up, but I felt more comfortable walking back to my chair where I dropped the towel and got comfortable laying near the pool. Flex is a great place with nice people and a wonderful place to relax. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the Cleveland area.

Look forward to the warm weather again and hitting the beaches around May.  Hopefully I'll see all of you there.

Let me know when you want to go thonging in Mentor at mythoughts46@aol.com

 Went to Mentor Headlands again today, for the second time this year. It was wonderful. Water was warm and it was hot but not too hot out. Best beach around!

Going to Mentor Headlands today. I'll probably be on the far right side, if you're facing the water, if anyone wants to say hi. Gotta take advantage of these last few days of fun in the sun. P.S. I was going to go to Edgewater in Cleveland today, haven't been there in a couple of years, but I think they usually have Thursday concerts down the beach there now and I really don't want to hear that while laying out... Not my thing. Lower your boombox too! lol

A great day at Edgewater -- and not just because of the weather.  It was about 90 degrees, but windy, so I went to the far end "dog beach" and laid out on an elevated patch of sand, above the rest of the beach area.  After a while, I hadn't noticed any wind, so I moved back to the main beach.

Then the wind started again and it was just too annoying to put up with, so I moved to the grassy area next to the big rocks at the east end.  Most of the rocks that were large enough to fit a person lying down were taken, but the grass was OK.  I looked around and picked a spot about 10-15 feet from a young woman in a one-piece suit.  There was another young woman on the other side of this woman who had to be wearing a very cheeky suit.  The front of her suit practically advertised it.

So I laid out my stuff and was a bit worried about comments because I was close to the walking path, but decided to be brave and no one except one couple said anything.  Then I noticed a group of young people on the other side of the walking path doing gymnastic type exercises.  Three cheeky suits on the ladies, so that was nice.  About a half hour later, the lady near me (in the one-piece) walked to the trash can and even she had a cheeky suit.  Looked pretty good too!

Later, I headed to the rest rooms and saw two young ladies with bright pink suits, walking with a guy.  I just had to look as they passed me.  A one-piece cheeky suit like the adjustable one-piece thongs of years ago that could cover the back or be a thong, except it was always meant to be cheeky and show half of the buns.  The other young lady in the two-piece suit was just like a thong.  After I made my way back from the restrooms, I saw the pink-suited ladies with the others practicing their gymnastic moves.  So, I decided that was probably the best place to lay out.  Sent a few texts to my lady friend to tell her how many thongs and cheeky suits I had seen so far.  The young lady in the pink one-piece cheeky was riding an electric scooter around and must have passed me several times, but didn't even notice what I was wearing.  Finally, I happened to look back at the group and saw her looking in my direction, so someone must have clued her in.  Everyone was so chill and acted as if I were wearing any old swimsuit.  The young lady on the other side of the one-piece lady finally turned over and although she wasn't perfectly slender, she had such a cute little plumpness to her derriere.  I was trying to think of seeing another woman who had such a cute feature, but couldn't remember any.  I've been wearing thongs for more than 25 years, so that covers many women in thongs and cheeky suits.  I caught myself looking her way several times just because that backside was so cute.  She was looking my way one time, so I just grabbed the bill of my hat and did a slight tip up and down to show her I appreciated how she looked.

I decided to check out the far end of the beach (where I had originally laid out for a while) and saw a young lady with her boyfriend next to the volleyball net.  She had on a one-piece red definite thong-back suit.  All of the glutes were on display.  Man, I love this beach!  I found a spot at the far end, but there were a bunch of guys from a boat who were drinking, so I just laid out on my back.  (As I was about to put my stuff down, a real beauty stopped almost in front of me, but closer to the water.)  She also had on a cheeky suit with a different-looking top.  I never got close enough to see if it was really different, or if the sun glistening off the fabric was causing bright spots to appear over the black suit.  I didn't walk over because I didn't really feel like having the drunk guys hoot and holler about my suit, especially since the day had been so good with quite a few surprises.  Around 6:30, I stood up to shake out my towel, and right on cue, the drunk boaters started making a little bit of a fuss about the suit.  (If they had seen the back, they may have gone into convulsions!)  So I was happy to have a good day and not have the boaters make too big a fuss about my suit.  The long range forecast is for temps in the 80s this upcoming weekend, believe it or not.  That'll make the entire month of September good beach weather on the north coast of Ohio.  I can't remember the last time that happened, if ever.

I went to Mentor Headlands last Friday (I think it was 9/20/2019), it was wonderful. Hardly anyone was down there. Even laid out nude on and off for about an hour, stayed down there about two and a half hours total. Was at the far left hand side of the beach, facing the water. My usual (but not always!) spot.

Probably going to Mentor Headlands tomorrow (Saturday - 6/6/2020), if so it will be my first day in the sun in a long time. Water is still too cold to swim in (about 58 degrees), so that sucks, but I really need some sun since the tanning salons have just recently reopened. A real suntan is better and lasts longer than a sunbed tan anyhow.

Was at Headlands yesterday (6/23). Park employees for the past few weeks have been grooming the beach cleaning up winter debris and leveling the sand. The west end of the beach gets less traffic as the parking lot near there is closed. Most people stay east of the concession stand toward the dunes boardwalk. Been out twice working on the cheek tan. Nobody seems to notice or care.

Mark (Randy's brother) is working on a project that is took advantage of the break between Christmas and New Years when facility use is non-existant. He had to stay in the Cleveland area even after New Years Day to insure everything is working right after people start coming back. Nikki went with him as she always does when her schedule let's her. Actually, I am surpised she got off this year because she works repairing and adjusting the equipment in "one hour photo" places. She says the demand for film processing is almost nill now, so many places only run prints. Even these are rare since few customers notice or care about the differenced between professional photo prints and ones made at home. Actually, the home prints are getting better and better and she says for many uses, they are more than adequate. She is looking for a new career since the photo business will soon close down she thinks. Mark having to go to and stay in Cleveland has complicated a trip we all had planned to take to the Hocking Hills area in Ohio between Christmas and New Years. Nikki found an Ohio state park (Punderson) with a large hotel as part of the park lodge which had a pool but few other water amenities. Randy suggested a motel near Cleveland where we had gone before that has an indoor pool, hot tub, and a steam sauna, as well as an outdoor hot tub they keep running all winter. When we go there, we wear at most our thongs, and the management and employees don't even seem to notice or care how much cloth we are wearing or what it is covering. Nikki and I have been to this hotel together and both gone top-free with no comments or complaints. They have a semi-private outdoor sunning area where an outdoor pool used to be and has been filled in. The whole area is now commonly used as a combination sunning and sport area since they have also installed a basketball net, a tennis court, and a single hot tub. This is the outdoor hot tub they keep on all winter. It is fun to use this hot tub in the middle of a snow storm when the weather is cold and there is snow around, but the tub is hot and there is a plume of steam rising from it. Actually, even in the coldest times we have been there, the cold weather is not so bad that the hot tub water is not hot. Getting from your room to the hot tub is another issue, and we have found that the fastest way is to just keep our swimsuits on, wrap up in a towel (if you want) and simply run between the hot tub and your room or the room and the hot tub. Going from the room to the hot tub is cold. Coming back is stange since if you pull yourself out of the hot water, your core temperature is up, but the cold air still can be bad, especially if it is windy, and you have the evaporation of the water cooling you too. When Randy and I have been there before and the weather was nice, I would go out and tan topfree and have even worn very minimal G-strings on occation. What makes this sunning area fun is that it is visible from all the rooms, and all the rooms open onto the area where the hot tub is. This is the "public" aspect of the hot tub. At the same time, the building and some solid concrete block walls shield views into the area from the street or ajoining properties. MORE IN NEXT POST!

Thongs and minimal swimwear are just as acceptable at the indoor pool area as well. This area is shielded from all but the lobby by the walls, but there are conspicuous TV cameras in the room. Large windows permit sun to come in. For some reason, the windows are like mirrors in the day, and you can't see the pool from outside. At night, the windows appear clear from both sides, and people outside or driving into the parking area next to the pool can see right in. Again the hotel people don't seem to care what your swimsuit looks like. I have been to the indoor pool area and many hotel employees including the manager saw me and even talked to me when I was topfree without comment. Once we were there and a young woman I think was in her late teens wore a t-shirt and bikini bottom in the pool, which showed off her breasts nicely. After seeing this, Randy encouraged me to wear just a tank top in the pool, but I have never liked this look, not because the exposure bothered me, but I simply don't like having to deal with the wet t-shirt unless it is a very hot day. Another time, I was out tanning, topfree of course. Another lady came out and with the encouragement of her male companion took her top off too. At one point she went inside to use the pool and simply walked around the hallways from outside to the indoor pool area without bothering to put her top back on. Randy thought this was pretty cool, and it was obvious she was even more comfortable topfree a the motel than I had been, since she never put her top back on and apparently forgot it and left it on the table next to where she had first taken it off. Randy and I were alone again and getting some sun, me topfree still, and a maid came around with towels and ask me if the top belonged to me, which made sense since I was topfree. I told her that it belonged to another hotel guest, and she picked it up and told me if the owner showed up and was looking for it, she would take it to the lost and found and put it with "the other swimsuits people had left around the pool." "At least it wasn't left in the bottom of the pool," she commented as she picked up the top and left te area. One time I was alone at the indoor pool and after a few laps, I went to the hot sauna. I didn't know that a couple was in the sauna, but I opened the door, and they were sprawled out on the benches in the buff. There was no "funny" stuff going on (I had once gone into a sauna in Gatlinburg TN and a young lady was giving her boyfriend a blow job!) While they did use the sauna in the nude, the did put their traditional swimwear (bikini on the lady, board shorts on the guy) back on hen before they went back to the pool. Randy has pointed out to me that there is a plaque on most saunas that tells how to use the sauna. Most of these include a line to the effect "remove cloths", and Randy has used this as an excuse to go nude. Most of these signs also tell you to shower and then go back to the sauna. There is no mention of putting your cloths back on, so he often will follow the directions, walk to the shower take his shower and return to the sauna without a stitch on. ' MORE IN NEXT POST!

One day the motel manager (who was female) came out to the pool area, and we chatted about the weather and other things. Randy was laying on his stomach in a thong when she came out, but I was on my back and topfree. Later she told us that they had women go topfree a few times a month and also many women wearing cheeky swimsuits, near thongs, and actual thongs. She said Randy was bold to wear a thong too, but she liked seeing men's buns and didn't mind a bit. She said the motel took the attitude that anything that would be legally acceptable at the nearby state parks, was okay for the motel's pool and tanning areas. After hering this, Randy wore just a baggie the next day, and when the motel manager came around again (she seemed to do this almost on a schedule). She said she had seen a few other men at the state park beach in baggies (she didn't seem to know what to call them, but eventually called them a cock sock) and liked this look even more than seeing a guy in a thong. She called his suit "cute" and said if anyone complained to show them that he was covered in front. If they still had issued, she told them to see her of the desk clerk and they would "set the record straight". Randy wore baggies in the sunning area and indoor pool area every time we were there, and we were told in October that the manager had never been approached about any swimwear issues the whole summer. One day we were there on a quiet evening and Randy shed his baggie and proceeded to go from here to there in the incoor pool area, acting like his nudity was the most natural thing to do. A young couple was also there whe we arrived, but Randy ask if they would mind his nudity and they said it would be okay with them. They wore conservative swimwear, but seemed to get a kick from Randy's nudity. The female desk-clerk (not the manager) came around when Randy was in the bubbling indoor hot tub to tell everyone the pool would be closing soon (they had a very strict policy about pool hours). Randy ask if he had time to shower off the pool and hot-tub chemicals and she said he did, so he hopped out of the pool and walked right by her to the wall-mounted shower and took a bath. She teased him by saying "I like your swimsuit" when he went by in the buff, but couldn't keep her eyes off him when he ran water over his head and massaged it into his equipment. Later she said "cute buns". Women seem to feel comfortable complimenting a naked guy on his buns but rarely comment on their package. Later, she admitted that she liked seeing Randy in his thongs and G-strings, and even liked the little baggies he wore more. She said she really appreciated the show he put on when he was nude, and he admitted he did some strip shows and male modeling and knew how to get a woman's juices flowing. No matter what type of minimal swimwear he wore if he wore one at all, he was greeted by the desk clerk and other guests with either smiles, apparent indifference or questions like where men's thong could be bought. He had a few men slip out of their swimsuits too when he was showing it all, but they usually covered up when they were out of the water. MORE IN NEXT POST!

With the lack of criticism about his nudity with the front-desk clerk or other pool users, Randy stared to shed everything whenever he went to the indoor pool area in the evenings. He didn't even bother with a suit, and just put a towel around his waist on the trip to and from our room. The desk clerk came by almost evert night and always commented on some positive aspect of his body, but not his penis. Eventually, Randy let his penis every grow to it's maximum length when showering just for the desk clerk. He had let himself get half-hard before, but this time he pumped himself up to a full erection. The desk clerk said that she liked his swimwear, and when he stood around nude and soft, but really liked to see his penis with an erection. Once Randy shed everything and hanging around the pool half-hard and in the buff during the day. He was in the water or hot tub or sauna most of the time, but didn't bother to put anything on when he walked between them or got out to reset the hot tub timer. Later he took a shower at the pool-side shower station still quite naked. Within a minute the motel manager (not the desk clerk) came in and told him he had to cover up and gave him a stern warning that while she didn't mind his nudity, other guests might have issues and if he was caught in the buff again, they would have to kick him out of the motel. This caused a profound change in the way Randy delt with his own nudity. He kept his cloths on after this unless others were already nude or doing what he wanted to do in the buff. At motels, he stopped running to the vending machines, from room to room or to get ice in the buff. He stopped using pool and other facilities in the buff unless he first told a management employee what he wanted to do and they gave him their permission. There were other times he would let others see him in the nude but only when he knew he either had permission or that the practice of being nude was normal. He still did his strip/sex shows and never was bothered about who would see him at these events. But he cut way back on his sperm of he minute nudity. An example is answering a motel room door naked. He used to not bother with clothing when food was delivered or a maid came around. He still does let employees see him naked if they are the ones who created the situation. For example, a maid who comes in with little or no warning might catch him nude, and he makes no attempt to hide once they see him. Randy has done so many strip shows and been used in so many art classes that he can control his penis respose pretty well, and since many of these shows are at motels anyway, I think he sometimes forgets where he is doing a strip show or when he is doing one for others. When he was down at the pool naked and later showered in front of the desk clerk, he produced a half-hard erection that I know the desk clerk and probably the female manager and other guests appreciated seeing -- most women do.

Ithongit When you talk about your trip last Christmas was that two weeks ago or two decades ago? "she works repairing and adjusting the equipment in "one hour photo" places." You just don't see or even hear about those places any more. Its good trip report so keep on it. Later,

This long-long account shows one thing that is important: Pushing the limits by using the pool nude could have a negative effect in the long run. It is possible that the motel might have accepted a few brief (pun intended) periods of nudity but hanging around the pool day after day and using the rinse-off shower and other facilities naked for long periods of time as I assume Randy had done probably is why the manager came down and put a stop to his nude activities. Others wanting to skinny dip when the pool is closed may no longer be given permission due to Randy's actions. Thonging might be stopped since wearing a thong is close to going naked in many people's eyes. The use of the pool area and sunning deck by topfree women might also be curtailed. And since actions have been taken against Randy, a motel policy has been established which can be applied to others. Should a complaint go so far as to the police, the motel can reply that their policy is that nudity (or thongs or women going topfree) are not encouraged and the motel has a policy in place that actually adresses these issues and they have thrown people who use the facilitie nude when they know about it happening. I have seen posts in online reviews about places that permit thongs or drinking at pools or other things and these things result in one-star ratings. Places do not want one star ratings. I don't know if others do this, but when I am looking at ratings, I review some of the one-star ratings to see what others find upsetting. If their issues are ones I am concerned about I will try to find someplace else. Randy hanging out at the pool in the buff is going too-far for most places and if pushed on the issue, the motel might even stoppermitting people to wear thongs. It is interesting that the manager told him to stop but other motel employees and apparently some guests let him get away with it earlier. The fact the manager made such a big deal about it makes me think an existing policy was being broken or a new policy made due to his actions. Other empoyees probably were told to no longer let guests go nude and they might even be expected to tell the upper management when they see it. If more people go nude the rule will probably be enforced more, and topfree women could be included in the nude catagory. "Keep a bottoms on if you want to keep thonging." This should be an unwritten rule umless total nudity is permitted. I have been two places where specific areas or times permitted nudity, and the rules appeared in the information books in the rooms and by placards around the pool. Of course if you ask some important person in the motel management if you can skinny dip, and they say it is okay, then feel free to go for it. Just be sure to do as they say and to follow other pool rules they have to the letter. Remember that some thongers might not ask if thonging is okay, and if they get away with it, it does not mean you can do it whenever you want. It is possible they didn't notice the thonging, didn't want to make a scene with other guests around or were too busy. The motel may not let low level staff like maids deal with rule violations. It is like driving without a license. If you are a good driver, you probably could go years or even decades without needing one as long as you are not stopped. This does not mean it is okay, it only means you were not caught. Many people believemall public nudity is against the law. Others believe that thonging is something that leads to nudity, or is a type of nudty. Since they do not like nudity, they oppose thonging just like they would nudity. Banning thonging and nudity prevents them from having to look at people they believe are nude. Regardless of if they are right or wrong, going nude can get these anti-thong people wound up to a point where they demand anti-thong and nudity rules and rules are harder to unmake than to make.

With regards to one-hour photos. There are a few places I know who still make actual photographic prints but this has almost completely disappeared. I do not know of any place locally that does film processing on-site. These are sent out. I am under the assumption that some places have the film processed at larger photo labs and that these labs also do prints photograpically not using high-quality laser or ink jet printers;

Pushing too far the limits can generate a backlash against thongs. I agree with ohiothonger.

I forgot to mention that Mark and Nikki did not go to the place I talked about in the posts above. Instead they went to one of the many motels South of the city on I-71. The motel they stayed at has an indoor pool, but that is about it. Nikki ask Mark to wear his thongs at the motel pool which he did. Nikki is even less inhibited than I am and would have been the first one to take off their swimsuit, but Mark is more conservative. I know she was itching to take her top off and go topfree but Mark told her to keep it on. They went to the pool several times a day and never had any issues. No guests commented on their swimwear choices. The motel management knew Mark wore thongs since he stays there often and wears thongs at the pool frequently. They even gave him a "thongs are okay" on an earlier visit. He had put a thong on a towel on the heater thing under the window to dry. The towel and thong fell on the floor. A maid took the towel with the thong in it and sent it to the laundry. The laundry found it before washing, but could not tell where it came from. They had seen Mark wear thongs many times before, so the manager ask him at breakfast if he had lost a swimsuit. Most men would have been embarassed when the manager brought the thong to the breakfast area and held it up and opened it so Mark could inspect it. This was in front of the other guests eating their breakfasts. "You certainly don't wear much swimming do you?" he said. "Good thing thongs are okay here." he added. Both Randy and Mark wear thongs, but Mark treats them just like any other swimsuit, so he is just as comfortable in a G-string, thong, Rio, Square cut, Speedo, short trunks, or board shorts. Anything but a baggie is okay with him. He was not embarased because he is comfortable with all his swimwear. He will wear a Speedo or more when he is not sure smaller suits would be acceptable. He will wear something specific if someone he is going with asks. (Nikki is always asking him to wear his thongs for example.) When he is home, he just reaches into his swimsuit drawer and wears whatever he grabs. For trips to places that he knows are thong friendly or when he has to use luggage, he rejects anything that covers more than a Speedo. Even on business trips, a Speedo or less is what he will wear. He points out that the smaller swimsuit take less room in luggage, dry quickly, and weigh less. He sometimes gets teased when his coworkers first see him in his minimal swimwear, but after a 15 minutes seeing him so confident or a few beers they don't worry about his swimwear but instead enjoy his company. Mark is as well if not better built in every way (and I mean every way!) than Randy (it must have been the water they drank when they where growing up). When on trips, Mark evaluates his swimming and tanning opportunities. Speedo is almost universally accepted, so he packs several. When Randy packs, his swimsuit with the most coverage is a Rio. With Randy it is "how much can I show". Mark just wears what he thinks will be okay and does not try to show off. Wearing a thong is not showing off to Mark, but just wearing one of many types of men's swimsuit. Mark is probably the most normal person in our family. His philosophy is that he wants to avoid a confrontation and have a good time. If more cloth is appropriate, he puts on a Speedo or more. It doesn't really matter to him. Nikki is about as opposite as she can be. She loves to show off her body even more than I do and while I will usually dress more normally and casually when going to the store or something, Nikki will push the limits by wearing very suggestive cloths that show a lot. She sees nothing wrong with going to Walmart in an open side shirt and no bra. She has gone to the beach a whole summer and not bothered with a bikini top. Her cutoffs border on the indcent. No matter where she is, she wants to show off as much as she can -- and does.

I guess Nikki needs to look for a new line of work https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/costco-is-closing-photo-centers-at-all-of-its-stores/ar-BB1cKw6R
