Not one person would admit that they didn't want me to wear a bikini because of their aesthetic preference - a preference that is shaped by our cultural perceptions of what is and isn't beautiful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me to even be talking about bikini confidence is crazy. If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I probably would have been like, 'what are you talking about...' so it's actually huge for me to even feel okay with putting a bikini on.
For me, fashion means dare. I don't mind wearing a bikini. I am okay with it.
I started thinking: 'Okay, what's wrong with wearing a bikini? I look better than I looked in quite a few years, so why not? What am I afraid of?
Most fashion models do not look good in bikinis because they're too thin.
Listen: I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take - they think I'm naked on the beach.
I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.
I thought, If I'm so afraid of a bikini, there's something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!
I never looked good in a bikini. My legs were too thin.
It's really intimidating to go on the beach in a bikini.
I'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.
