I am mexican/american...I totally agree with this.<br /><br /> I am mexican/american, modeled for McCarty agency in Utah for a couple of years & used to wear two piece suits, but since joining the church at the age of 21 I no longer wore them. I am now 41 with three daughters, and a son, and I have to say that one piece suits are hottest. I can also show you a picture of my daughter at her homecoming/prom and she truly stands out in the picture because she is the only one wearing a modest dress. It's classy, and she doesn't need to show off her boobs...or bottom! There are only two members in her class of 350. She is graduating this year, and everyone knows her lifestyle, and people look up to her. They see that she lives up to her standards and doesn't lower them for anyone.<br /><br />No matter if we have a rockin' hot body. <br /><br />To me that is living a double standard. <br /><br />You either stick to the modest values or you don't. I personally wouldn't justify wearing a bikini for one day at the beach. It's kind of like wearing a strapless gown just for one evening because you only have your senior prom once. <br /><br />I don't judge because we all have a choice, and in the end it's to our own detriment as to how we live the gospel standards. No matter if we are 12, 20, or 40. <br /><br />I only worry about myself, and how I am raising my girls. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />I still love Nat the fat Rat though!

I found this little tidbit that should put an end to the argument of what we all really believe vs. what the church puts out there...<br /><br />"The Church encourages modesty in dress for all occasions, including swimming. The dilemma comes when people want pictures or measurements or definitions of exactly what is OK to wear. Since fashions change from place to place and time to time, this is not possible.<br /><br />For example, several years ago Church guidelines said not to wear two-piece swimsuits. At that time, “two-piece swimsuits” meant bikinis, which are very revealing. Now fashion has changed, and some two-piece swimsuits are actually among the most modest swimsuits you can buy. They are better fitting and have longer tops that cover the torso. The bottoms come in more modest styles too. So the guideline not to wear a two-piece swimsuit is not as helpful as it once was, but the goal to dress modestly remains.<br /><br />In sports, recreation, and all aspects of our lives, we need to practice the principle of modesty.<br /><br />“Modesty is a gospel principle that applies to people of all cultures and ages. In fact, modesty is fundamental to being worthy of the Spirit. …<br /><br />“… When we recognize our bodies as the gifts they are and when we understand the missions they help us fulfill, we protect and honor them by how we act and dress.<br /><br />“In everyday living, immodest clothing such as short shorts, miniskirts, tight clothing, shirts that do not cover the stomach, and other revealing attire are not appropriate” (Robert D. Hales, “Modesty: Reverence for the Lord,” Ensign, Aug. 2008, 34–35).<br /><br />Concerning modesty, it is best when we no longer ask, “How far can I go?” but rather, “How well can I follow gospel standards?”<br /><br />http://lds.org/new-era/2011/03/to-the-point/how-can-i-choose-a-modest-swimming-suit?lang=eng&query=swimming+suit*LaUrA*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11418991115122417259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-49217807430653721592011-07-12T06:08:29.323-04:002011-07-12T06:08:29.323-04:00huck looks like he's so "over it" in...huck looks like he's so "over it" in the first photo.<br /><br />and i am looooving his hat. it really brings out his curves.Jenni Austria Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300480531614136453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-87594696051943595972011-07-11T08:33:43.972-04:002011-07-11T08:33:43.972-04:00That Huck.

This is my first summer wearing a one-piece (just had baby a couple months ago) and although I found a cute one, I would give anything to be rid of the strange elephant skin that is currently plaguing my midsection.

I haven't owned a one piece since I was 16. And, it was not a modest one piece.<br /><br />I only own "2 piece" now and they are very modest, not bikini's, since I approve of modesty in my and my daughters, being a mormon and all.

I feel as though I need to hear this explained.<br /><br />I mean, really.......my theory is "if you can, you should and if you can't, you shouldn't". And, I'm a member and grew up with the whole modesty thing so I get it but you're at the beach with your man and baby so what's the big deal? It's not like it's girls camp or something.<br /><br />Wait....are you going to girls camp?
