In between brief and square-cut

It's funny to see these baggy Sungas coming out of Brazil. To me they look like and fit like the awful suits they gave us in school swim class.
Many years ago while in, or about to be in college I arrived at the beach only to be over dressed in a 2" speedo. I looked around and was in shock. The suits the guys were all wearing were these mini bikinis (we now call them Rio Cut). I had been feeling rather bold going from 3" to 2" for the trip then I saw those.
Instead of the beach I went the hotel's beachside bar. The bartender made comment about how modest I must be. After some chat he directed me to a nearby shop that sold the mini bikinis. I picked out a black one and a yellow one, put on the black one and back to the beach with a stop at the bar for another bracer and to thank the bartender. He convinced me to change into the yellow one (behind the bar) and after another shot (and some hair trimming) I took my virtually naked body to the beach. I was in love with the suits and still have many in my collection. The bartender showed up at my room that evening with a couple more for me and we hung out a lot that week. I often wonder how you go from a suit that barely covers one as big and baggy as gym shorts.
