How To Lose Advertisers and Disgust People

May26

Land’s End sent me a bathing suit. I know, I know, you’re thinking, “WHY would anyone send Aunt Becky ANYTHING besides a yacht?” and I’m wondering the same thing. In fact, I’m still WAITING for my yacht.

*taps foot impatiently*

Land’s End sent me a bathing suit so that I would post a picture of myself wearing it on my blog. You can see the error in their thinking, right?

I can.

This was probably NOT what they wanted:

girls in bathing suits with chainsaws

Better yet, this:

aunt becky drunk

Sorry, Land’s End.

I couldn’t resist.

    That is totally the one I would buy. May I have mine with a Manhattan too? Thanks.

    You buy me new panties? Because I just wet mine laughing so hard.

    Maybe she can send you the swimsuit since she’s done with it. At least they’d be quick dry!

    While these are spectacular, you forgot to add cats with lasers shooting out of their eyes. I’m gonna need more laser.

    SHIT! I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING!

    Hilarious and ironical (new word). Me likey.

    You think you coined “ironical”? Welcome to the internets, Mr. Fresh Off The Boat.

    Si senor… No speak Englais… gracias.

    HAHAHA!!! I love it!

    You still look amazing. 🙂

  10. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:56 am The Sweetest Says:

    Hilarious! I think purple is your color!

  11. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:57 am Rebecca Says:

    You look great! and this cracked me up! Love it, I bet Lands End will love it too…..

  12. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:12 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I’m pretty sure I’m black-balled now.

  13. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:57 am Josefina Says:

    I need one of those.

  14. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:58 am Ewokmama Says:

    Awesome. I think you should make that first one your new avatar pic!

    Also, that bathing suit is super cute!

  15. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:11 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Bwahahahahaha!

  16. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:58 am Ms Dreamer Says:

    Yeah, but you look fucking hot!

  17. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:59 am Brandon Says:

    Hey, Land’s End.

    Send ME that bathing suit, and *I’ll* post a picture of me wearing it on my blog too!

    I’m a size, er, whatever a 220lb dude is. Fluffy?

  18. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:01 pm CycleNinja Says:

    Amy Winehouse, I presume?

  19. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:02 pm Lynn MacDonald (All Fooked Up) Says:

    hahaha…i particularly liked the fact that you have a bathing suit on with a chainsaw…awesome accessory. I actually own quite a few purple swimsuits…just saying

    Best Lands End photo spread ever!!!

  21. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:05 pm Allison Says:

    Ok, but I REALLY like the bathing suit!

  22. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:07 pm Kim @ Beautiful Wreck Says:

    I never thought about wearing a bathing suit while using a chain saw. I do live in hurricane territory so this would totally work. Thanks for the idea!

  23. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:08 pm Trina Says:

    I am laughing my ass off!!! I bet that is not what they were looking for, but it is absolutely better!!

  24. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:10 pm Megaboo Says:

    Aunt Becky you are my fucking hero!

  25. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:10 pm Megaboo Says:

    Aunt Becky you are my fucking hero!

  26. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:12 pm Andie Says:

    The picture with the chainsaw is hereby crowned the absolute highlight of my motherfucking day. Best. Picture. Ever.

    And I think you’re selling yourself short. I would totally buy that bathing suit after seeing this.

    And wordpress really doesn’t seem to like the way I post. I TYPE FAST. SORRY, WORDPRESS, SORRY. Sheesh.

  27. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:23 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Bwahahahaha. WordPress is a bitch. Also: who DOESN’T wear a swimsuit and fancy jewelry to do yardwork?

  28. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:12 pm ColinP Says:

    Love it, absolutely love it!

  29. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:13 pm stacey@Havoc&Mayhem Says:

    Oh that’s the blackberry one! I was just looking at that one online yesterday! I hadn’t thought it would be that dark. Now I am frightened about what shade the Bright Iris I did order will look like

  30. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:24 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Pretty, isn’t it?

  31. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:14 pm Natasha Says:

    ROFL! Best ad ever 😛

  32. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:15 pm Amanda Says:

    Actually that’s the most effective product placement I’ve seen in a while. ‘Cause it’s a cute suit. Also goes from pool to yard work with just a set of pearls to dress it up 🙂

  33. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:24 pm Triplezmom Says:

    Could you please be the stylist for the entire Land’s End catalog?

  34. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:26 pm Paula Says:

    Actually, you just made me WANT to buy that swim suit!

  35. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:20 pm Dana Says:

    Me too!

  36. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:29 pm Heather Says:

    You crack me up! Snort!

  37. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:34 pm Emily R Says:

    I think the second one may be exactly what they were looking for.

  38. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:35 pm Jenn Says:

    Awesome. Absolutely frigging awesome.

    I would totally buy it.

  39. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:38 pm Pale Says:

    Brilliant. Mwah!

  40. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:39 pm Wombat Central Says:

    At least they sent you one in your favorite flavor… er, color. All you were lacking was some rad Amy Winehouse eyeliner in that second shot. They better feature you in their catalog with one of those shots if they want me to continue shopping there.

    PS I think WP is just extra testy today. Apparently my lightening-quick fingers are too much for them, too.

  41. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:05 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Stupid WP. Also: yes. Purple is hot. I really channeled Amy Winehouse in the second one, huh?

  42. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:39 pm seekingelevation Says:

    Hear that? That’s the sound of purple bathing suits flying off the shelves.

  43. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:42 pm Tershbango Says:

    That first pic is quite sexy.

    The second one? Meh, not so much. 🙂

  44. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:04 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    You know you like The Crow makeup.

  45. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:42 pm Kristin (MamaKK922) Says:

    This here is why I LOVE you!!! And why we are BFF’s! I could NEVER think to come up with this stuff.

  46. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:43 pm evildoer Says:

    Y’know, I need me a new suit. Maybe i’ll check Land’s End. Hmmm.

    And I will totally wear it while wielding sharp non-girly objects. Possibly with a tiara.

  47. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:04 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    If I’d had a tiara, I’d have put that shit on!

  48. On May 27th, 2011 at 6:22 am Neeroc Says:

    How is it that you don’t have a tiara?

  49. On June 8th, 2011 at 10:50 am La Printemp Says:

    Someone send her a tiara!

  50. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:45 pm Vinobaby Says:

    Hold on, I think InStyle is trying to get a hold of you right now for a photo shoot. You are SUCH a Lands End kinda girl. How about Fredrick’s of Hollywood? Or any brand of Vodka. Or how about a cleaning service?

    I just want someone to send me some free wine to pimp. Seriously.

    Cheers.
    VB

  51. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:04 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Someone sent me free wine. NO JOKE. Now I need a vodka sponsor!

  52. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:48 pm Lin Says:

    bwahaha…no I dont think that’s what they had in mind at all. However, you did keep up your end of the deal because you are indeed wearing the bathing suit in the photo 😉

    On a side note, the first photo is actually sort of cute and I’m actually diggin’ the bathing suit.

  53. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:03 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    The bathing suit is hot. I swear.

  54. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:48 pm Jess Says:

    Oh I am SO all over that! A versatile bathing suit! You can cut down trees AND do your weekend job (workin the corner) in it! Hells to the yeah!

  55. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:49 pm KJ Says:

    Ha!

  56. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:48 pm Jaci Says:

    Bwahahahahahaha!

    I saw a couple of these Lands End posts and thought, “Hmm,” followed by, “Ugh”. You absolutely rocked the “Every Mom Blogger Wearing Lands End!” concept some male marketing exec came up with and shoved it in their face.

    Not every female blogger is a stereotypical MOM?!?

    Thank you for this. Really. THANK YOU.

  57. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:50 pm No Good Says:

    Love the Helmut Newton influence in your work.

  58. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:52 pm Alexandra Says:

    You just made me laugh so hard that I very unladylike farted.

    Oh, yes, a good loud one.

    HILARIOUS.

  59. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:57 pm VEG Says:

    I just….I don’t even…WOW. You are the queen of the interwebs. ‘Nuff said.

  60. On May 26th, 2011 at 12:59 pm BuenoBaby Says:

    That top photo is really a keeper.

  61. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:02 pm Sandi Says:

    Oh man, you went and did it. That said, it’s actually a really nice costume!

  62. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:03 pm Molly Says:

    Yeah, probably NOT what they had in mind, but still, you look pretty rockin’ in the purple suit in the top pic! It’s glam and makes your tenahnehnahs look great! (and life is nothing if not making sure our tenahnehnahs look great.) (I’m just saying.)

  63. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:05 pm Erin Says:

    You’d lose the advertiser if you didn’t look so adorable in the swimsuit! Now I need that suit, pronto. In that exact color.

  64. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:05 pm Heather Says:

    Oh how I needed a good laugh today!! I guess I should tell you that my husband thought the chainsaw picture was funny.

  65. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:07 pm @Dralthi Says:

    Made my day.

  66. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:08 pm Hockeymandad Says:

    I don’t understand why you have Parliament smokes there. Those pics are scream Newport or some generic menthol. Besides, you should be careful when combining sparkles, smokes, and booze. The combination will either kill a unicorn or make you end up on Maury Povich learning about 12 kids you didn’t know you had.

    Now can you get Dave to do the exact same pictures? Suit and all? That would be epic.

  67. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:10 pm JoJo Says:

    This just made my day.

  68. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:10 pm Amy Says:

    Great goodness those are amazing!! You are totally rocking the Land’s End swim suit!!

  69. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:12 pm Lauren Elyse Says:

    I am in love with the chainsaw photo. That is all.

  70. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:17 pm Nancy P Says:

    Oh.My.God. Best pics EVER. Also? I like how your cat has his back to you, pretending he doesn’t know you.

  71. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:18 pm Dana Says:

    That is one gorgeous bathing suit! (nice chainsaw too)

  72. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:22 pm Dolores Says:

    I want that damn suit! Um… I have no idea what is wrong with your pictures! 🙂

  73. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:22 pm Katie Says:

    See…here’s the problem.

    That suit is mad cute yo, especially on you.

    I want to go buy it. I love the neckline part where it’s curvy. It might actually make me want to wear a bathing suit.

    So…your advertising…worked. Oops.

  74. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:23 pm katrina Says:

    Wow! You are such a goddess!! and you have a secret life as a model…Loving the suit! Makes me think all swimsuits should be showcased with chainsaws.

  75. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:30 pm natalie Says:

    fuck yeah!

  76. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:32 pm Kate Says:

    Hey, I have that one in teal. I love the purple but it was too dark with my scary fair Irish skin.

  77. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:46 pm Suza Says:

    shoot, that is a bathing suit they sent you? there was me thinking you are wearing a dress…. to be honest it’s not bad looking for a bathing suit and hello! PURPLE! guess they read your blog after all ( or maybe they just skip trough the “important” bits, hence having the nerve to ask you to post it ;))) but it sure looks great on you ( is Absolut sending you free bottles as well? If not they SHOULD! )so it’s win win…

  78. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:46 pm Tiffany @ MomNom Says:

    Lands End is brilliant! Because of you…I know MUST have this fucking bathing suit.

  79. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:51 pm Caroline Says:

    Seeing as this bathing suit was modeled by a lovely Tom Jones-like lady and not a skinny shut your whore mouth bitch, I would purchase a dozen.

  80. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:52 pm Joker_SATX Says:

    I am sure that if Land’s End didn’t bite, the guys over at Coors or the Peterbuilt trucking company would have you in a heartbeat!

    That was freakin hysterical though….

  81. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:54 pm KJ Says:

    You are gorgeous.

    I’m completely sold on this suit… I’m generally tipsy when I’m wearing one anyway. I’m off to check out their catalog!

  82. On May 26th, 2011 at 1:59 pm Sunday Says:

    I am logging on to Land’sEnd.com right now!

  83. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:08 pm tash Says:

    When Land’s End suddenly sells out of this, in this awesome purple color, they will sadly then send you children’s lunch pails, tote bags, and cardigans. Sad for whom, I really don’t know because I cannot fucking wait. (Off to see if this is still available in my size, because my pool club will goddamn LOVE ME if I show up looking like this.)

    You know how in catalogs you often don’t really want the clothes, you want the lifestyle? Bingo.

  84. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:20 pm magpie Says:

    I love you.

    Hey, I have a chainsaw – why didn’t Lands End send me a bathing suit?

  85. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:29 pm Jonah Gibson Says:

    Dude! You’ve got a Poulan?! I am so envious.

  86. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:30 pm Beth Says:

    Now, see, I think that ALL suits should be sold like this.

  87. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:31 pm Arik esquilin Says:

    You are insane, homegrrl. Lol

  88. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:32 pm Kim at Let Me Start By Saying Says:

    I did not realize I followed the blog of a famous supermodel. If I did, I woulda dressed better.

    Your Girls look fab in that suit, my dear.

  89. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:49 pm Jolie Says:

    The bling and manicured nails nicely set off the chainsaw and the versatility of the suit. You know how you’re lounging by the pool, sporting the bling, and the cabana dude is all here’s your drink, and you’re all “go cut something down with the chainsaw” and he’s all doing it wrong so you just bust over and am all “MOVE” and take over… I’m guessing the cabana boy is taking the pictures anyhow… at least that’s what I’m getting from the pic. Naturally the 2nd is AFTER doing your lawn work.

  90. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:50 pm Barbara Says:

    You look HOT!! I especially like the blur you put on your face in the second photo. Nice touch.

  91. On May 26th, 2011 at 2:53 pm SharleneT. Says:

    Toooooo funny! But, until I see exactly what yard work you accomplished, I don’t think you should have taken a rest! If Land’s End doesn’t hire you for the rest of the catalogue, they’re crazy! Come visit when you get over your hangover…

  92. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:04 pm Erin@MommyontheSpot Says:

    bwhahahaha! That’s all kinds of klassy!

  93. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:18 pm Mwa (Lost in Translation) Says:

    See, and that in two pictures is why I love you.

  94. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:19 pm L.A.C.E. Says:

    The top pic is actually awesome! Until today I have never heard of Land’s End. Your pictures make me want to at least check out their website. Hear that Land’s End? She reached someone who has NEVER heard of you! She needs a magazine spread with her deciding the poses and accessories. Way more interesting than the anorexics with fake hair.

  95. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:28 pm Adriane Says:

    If “White Trash” is the look you’re going for in the 2nd picture, I have to let you know that the expensive-ish vodka and (almost) name brand cigarettes blow your cover.

  96. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:43 pm Nico Says:

    Man, even your cat desires to avert its eyes. You’ve done your job well.

  97. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:45 pm Penbleth Says:

    Simply stunning, I’d buy one. I’m not sure which is my favourite, chainsaw killer girl or chain smoking boozer girl. It’s a tough call.

  98. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:46 pm KaraB Says:

    I’m loving that you are wearing your bling while doing some casual chainsawing!

  99. On May 26th, 2011 at 3:58 pm Margaret (@goodbadfamily) Says:

    This straight up looks JUST like a Land’s End advertisment! I can’t wait until Tampax or Trojan sends you product! That’s be amazeballs!

    Margaret (@goodbadfamily)

  100. On May 26th, 2011 at 8:16 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I really wonder what Land’s End thinks of me now.

  101. On May 26th, 2011 at 4:09 pm John Says:

    I love you, Aunt Becky

  102. On May 26th, 2011 at 4:10 pm Leah Says:

    Best. Ad. Campaign. Ever.

  103. On May 26th, 2011 at 4:29 pm Becky Mochaface Says:

    You mean it’s not normal to hold a chainsaw while wearing a swimsuit? I’ve been doing it wrong for years! So what else are you supposed to do in a swimsuit if it’s not holding a chainsaw?

  104. On May 26th, 2011 at 5:02 pm cagey Says:

    UGH. I absolutely loathe “you are awesome” comments. But seriously??

    YOU ARE AWESOME.

    Also, that 2nd snap really needed a package of condoms. Actually, come to think of it, the 1st snap could also have used a package of condoms.

  105. On May 26th, 2011 at 8:16 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    SHIT. I knew I was forgetting that! Also: cats with laser beams!

  106. On May 26th, 2011 at 6:08 pm Lakegypsy Says:

    Best.Post.EVER!

  107. On May 26th, 2011 at 6:15 pm Josh Hawkins Says:

    That’s a nice chainsaw.

  108. On May 26th, 2011 at 7:11 pm McSarah Says:

    is there a link to that suit because it’s freaking adorable AND it goes with my chainsaw!

  109. On May 26th, 2011 at 7:11 pm sue j. Says:

    If 100 comments and a purple suit don’t make your day, nothin’ will. You are just too sexy for this blog.

  110. On May 26th, 2011 at 7:12 pm Stacey Says:

    Hot. Love that first photo.

  111. On May 26th, 2011 at 8:00 pm samminator Says:

    Seriously…best layout… and who DOESN’T feel like drinking and chain-sawing when wearing a swimsuit?

  112. On May 26th, 2011 at 8:15 pm Kate Says:

    OH MY GOD I LOVE IT.
    And the swimsuit.

    Does it come in maternity?

  113. On May 26th, 2011 at 8:23 pm Tracie Says:

    That is hilarious!!

    And you are looking super hot in that bathing suit. I love the color.

  114. On May 26th, 2011 at 8:29 pm A Field of Dreams Says:

    Fuck you’re awesome….

  115. On May 26th, 2011 at 9:27 pm Pete In Az Says:

    No no no…

    Get a saw with at least an 18″ bar.

  116. On May 26th, 2011 at 9:33 pm Jody Says:

    Couldn’t help but notice the empty bottle of Absolut Mandarin lying by your side in the second pic. I hope you mixed it with tonic and orange slices. If not, try that next time around. It’s fresh! Word of caution, if you like Absolut Mandarin, you may not like Stoli Orange…it tastes bitter by comparison. JS.

  117. On May 26th, 2011 at 9:44 pm Yuliya Says:

    Oh Aunt Becky I hate to be the one to point this out to you but you LOOK HOT! So hot that I am now going to check out the Land’s End swimsuits in hopes of looking more like you…

    Aunt Beckster I love you, and now my husband does too. We may have to fight. Anyhoo I must share this, it’s too good to keep to myself!

  120. On May 26th, 2011 at 10:17 pm karia Says:

    I would love to think that you had Hole’s “Gutless” blaring in the background when you posed for these pics! Well played, my friend, well played.

  121. On May 26th, 2011 at 11:04 pm Jen Says:

    Oh my abs! Thanks for giving me the workout I’ve been avoiding all week. I had to read (and show) your post to my dh. Heehee!!

  122. On May 27th, 2011 at 12:51 am Losing Brownies Says:

    Man you make that suit look sexy!

    though that might just be your color.

  124. On May 27th, 2011 at 5:37 am Domestic Spaz Says:

    Okay, so whatever marketing genius at Lands End’s corporate offices decided to send you that bathing suit needs a promotion.

    I fully predict bathing suit sales to be up by some ridiculous percentage for Lands End and for them to start sending you polo shirts and khaki capri pants any day now.

    You are the answer to my chainsawing dilemma! I used to do my best chainsawing in a bikini, but well I’m 41 and have a 3 year old and NO ONE needs to be subjected to that. This suit is the answer!

    (I have the sneaking suspicion you may sell more suits, those wiley Land’s End folks knew what they were doing!)

    Also, I really shouldn’t have read this post when said 3 year old was sitting beside me. Much explaining needed.

    Oh, woman, I just love you. I’ll put mine on and we’ll do a whole landscaping series – I wield a mean axe. You’ve got some more serial killer bushes to take out, don’t you?

    You rock my face off. Needed to see something this kick ass today. Great start to my morning. XOXOXOOXXOXOX

    Actually, I *would* buy a suit from Land’s End after seeing that! Actually, I already *did* buy a different suit from LE a few weeks ago (damn my mother for planning a beach trip while we’re home for a visit…), and I just got an email from them this morning and was perusing other suits, thinking about buying another. And I really like this one you’re wearing here. So, I think this is actually quite an advertising match.

    When I order this bathing suit from Land’s End today, you know that little drop down box that asks “Where did you hear about us”? I am answering Aunt Becky sent me.

  133. On May 27th, 2011 at 8:35 am Katie Says:

    So I just totally bought a Lands End bathing suit and now I want this one too.

    Because this one? Would clearly fit my lifestyle.

    wait.

    what?

    lands end needed this “brand awakening.” respect!

  135. On May 27th, 2011 at 10:07 am Maria Says:

    While this may not have been what they had in mind, it totally just made me check out their swimsuits (would never have thought to look there), and I think I’m going to buy one.
    alternative advertising WIN.

  136. On May 27th, 2011 at 10:24 am Ali Says:

    If anything, I think you just upped sales with the awesome chainsaw picture! Half of us are running out to (or madly clicking through google) to find a bathing suit that we can look awesome in while doing hardcore yard work!

    modeling Lands End as only Aunt Becky can do! 🙂 You did not disappoint!

    OMG. I just found this posted on FB today:

    http://www.facebook.com/update_security_info.php?wizard=1#!/media/set/?set=a.10150194154484213.318726.70267159212

    I like Lands End, I do, but their marketing folks are very annoying on FB. Do you think all of those folks understood Lands End was going to plaster their (very candid) photos all over the net?

    I’m not sure this trick is selling more bathing suits ….

    PS. the first time I went to post this comment, I got a reminder/prompt to enter my email. So I did. Annoyed that I had to rinse and repeat, but whatever. The second time I posted, I got a message that said I was “posting comments too quickly. Slow down.” Seriously? It’s not like I’m running with scissors … how about … “the comment interface is wasting my time too quickly?”

  141. On May 27th, 2011 at 1:21 pm Marinka Says:

    Love it. Does it come in pink? Also, I can’t believe you still didn’t get the yacht I sent you.

    1. Great pictures
    2. The suit looks fabulous
    3. If Lands’ End has a sense of humor, you will get more stuff

    Based on the responses, I think this was the best ever way to advertise the swimsuit.

    Best. Bathing suit. Review.

    hey, you look TOTALLY HOT in your bathing suit, right by your chainsaw. in fact, that chainsaw would probably sell more bathing suits due to sheer humor, than most of those asshole skinny bikini models that most of us want to stab.

    Why don’t those fuckers send me a bathing suit? I would rock the fuck out of that one-piece.

    My personal favorite part is the cat on the end table behind you. I can’t believe no one noticed this!

    Also? I totally want this swimsuit now.

    Hey, it worked for me. I’m actually going to go check it out on the LA site.

    Yes, obviously awesome and extremely funny. Good stuff.

    But fuck cats with laser beam shooting eyes. I demand chainsaws with laser beam shooting eyes from now on. On the whole internet. Preferably with ladies wearing swimsuits on the background.

    My favorite part is the manhattan spilled on the front of the swimsuit in the second picture. “Alcohol can stain, but who cares when you’re wearing a Land’s End Swimsuit!” is what it says to me… hehehe, love it!
