Dilemma: what do you do when your swimming costume is smaller than your tan, and there’s three billion ppl looking at you?

The Australian Olympic™ lycra®-wear is out, now, and it’s revealed something a little surprising: the official Olympic™ swimming costumes are more revealing than the togs the kids usually wear.

So, basically, the swimsuits show what happens when you wear one size swimsuit all summer and get all tanned, and then you swap into a smaller swimsuit.

Tanlines.

I haven’t checked, but there’s probably an “aussie girls tanlines” fetish group on Flickr, and the Australian Olympic™ Committee is more than likely trying to cash in on that market.

The obvious cure for this syndrome would be for the swimmers to just get about nude, but there are – apparently – some sort of rules against that.

So what to do?

Brooke Hanson and Lauren Jackson experimented with transparent uniforms at previous Olympicses™, but there’s no word as to whether they’re going to be pursuing that line any further.

It must be said that the transparent costumes clearly have at least two good points to them.

Each.
