  • Mama Hooters (my wife) and I were recently down in Florida,"The Sunshine State" A sun worshippers paradise. HOWEVER !......This trip the sun was M.I.A. It rained almost everyday. It rained so much that Mama Hooters and i began to loose our good sense on humor. However, We have a vacation routine. When the sun is out so are we, when its not WE SHOP. This trip was no different. Millenia Mall just south of Orlando is one of my favorite malls anywhere. All the big stores are there. Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's etc, So on this shopping trip I told hooters (mama hooters) I wanted to buy a new suit. I said i have never bought a real good upscale suit and i would like to buy a Burberry suit. She asked how much that might cost. I told her $300-$350. That's pretty good I thought it would cost about $500. she said. I'm thinking GREAT now I got a new limit.  We went to the Burberry store and looked at what they had but the selection was poor. So we went to Bloomingdale's still nothing impressed me. Last stop, Neiman Marcus. With hooters in tow right behind me I ran strait to the Swim Suits department. hooters commented that we had just passed the Men's suits and why were looking at Swim suits. I told her I was talking about a new "Swim Suit" You're going so spend $300 on a new swim suit! I thought you meant business suit. hooters said. 

The salesman pulled out a light blue pair of Vilebrequin swim trunks.  Hooters was immediately taken by the Tiffany's jewelers shade of blue. "how much is this suit" she asked. $240.00 said the salesman. I tried on the suit, it was gorgeous! that blue against my tan skin was breath taking if i say so myself. As the salesman was ringing up the trunks he said to me "are you aware of how they work? I have no idea what he was talking about. He then said "are you aware of the features" of these trunks. Now i was intrigued "FEATURES" on a pair of swim trunks. 

Yes! he replied the trunks are a solid blue when they are dry but when they get wet they have a pattern. Flowers, sea turtles and other designs come out when the trunks are wet. 





As you can see from the photo at the top of the page the Velbrequin swim trunk makes a splash around the pool at the Ritz Carlton Orlando. Yes it was expensive, even ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a pair of swim trunks. The irony of it is that hooters thought I was buying a business suit and for me it was. I sell resort wear, I sell leisure. When I'm at the pool, I am at work. I cant be taken seriously wearing a pair of JOE AVERAGE SIX PACK BOARD SHORTS purchased from Walmart.

So as you can clearly see from the picture of me up top sporting the Velbrequin swim trunk from Saint-Tropez, is that I look fetching around the pool without a care in the world except for what to do about my sagging breasts.

And As always from the lizard to you may you always have Happy suntanned cash filled Dreams.
