They were built to hold back and uplift, and they did a good job. Today s stretch fabrics are designed for the prepubescent girl with a figure carved from a potato chip. The mature woman has a choice, she can either go up front to the maternity department and try on a floral suit with a skirt, coming away looking like a hippopotamus that escaped from Disney s Fantasia, or she can wander around every run-of-the-mill department store trying to make a sensible choice from what amounts to a designer range of fluorescent rubber bands. What choice did I have? I wandered around, made my sensible choice and entered the chamber of horrors known as the fitting room. The first thing I noticed was the extraordinary tensile strength of the stretch material. The Lycra used in bathing costumes was developed, I believe, by NASA to launch small rockets from a slingshot, which gives the added bonus that if you manage to actually lever yourself into one, you would be protected from shark attacks. Any shark taking a swipe at your passing midriff would immediately suffer whiplash. I fought my way into the bathing suit, but as I twanged the shoulder strap in place I gasped in horror, my boobs had disappeared! Eventually, I found one boob cowering under my left armpit. It took a while to find the other. At last I located it flattened beside my seventh rib. The problem is that modern bathing suits have no bra cups. The mature woman is now meant to wear her boobs spread across her chest like a speed bump. I realigned my speed bump and lurched toward the mirror to take a full view assessment. The bathing suit fit all right, but unfortunately it only fitted those bits of me willing to stay inside it. The rest of me oozed out rebelliously from top, bottom and sides. I looked like a lump of Playdough wearing undersized cling wrap. As I tried to work out where all those extra bits had come from, the prepubescent sales girl popped her head through the curtain, "Oh, there you are," she said, admiring the bathing suit. I replied that I wasn t so sure and asked what else she had to show me. I tried on a cream crinkled one that made me look like a lump of masking tape, and a floral two-piece that gave the appearance of an oversized napkin in a serving ring. I struggled into a pair of leopard-skin bathers with ragged frills and came out looking like Tarzan s Jane, pregnant with triplets and having a rough day. I tried on a black number with a midriff fringe and looked like a jellyfish in mourning. I tried on a bright pink pair with such a high cut leg I thought I would have to wax my eyebrows to wear them. Finally, I found a suit that fit, it was a two-piece affair with a shorts-style bottom and a loose blouse-type top. It was cheap, comfortable, and bulge-friendly, so I bought it. My ridiculous search had a successful outcome, I figured. When I got it home, I found a label that read, "Material might become transparent in water." ++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS PAB AND THE ACADEMY THE EIGHTH BULAWAYO MUSIC FESTIVAL Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 May Booking for Season Tickets opens on TUESDAY 10 APRIL at the Academy and they cost $75.00 for over TWENTY performances.

WAGNER: RIENZI Friday 13 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Wagner s early opera is in the tradition of Parisian grand opera and is quite unlike the style he subsequently began to develop. Full of spectacle and extremely rousing music, it concerns Rienzi, the last of the tribunes in 14th century Rome, but this DVD of the Deutsche Opera s 2010 production transfers the action to the Nazi era with often stunning effect.

[Daily Express] The film will be preceded by the first in a series of occasional showings of episodes of "Fawlty Towers", this one the first of the series and entitled "A Touch of Class".

The award comes at a time of great trials and tribulations for Jenni and WOZA therefore Ginetta lives on to inspire WOZA members as they commemorate turning 10. Amnesty International activists from all around the globe have supported us through the hard times and it is therefore fitting that they also contribute to the good times with us as we turn 10. +++++ Dear Sir I have also received a bill from the City of Byo re rates, ours went from US$70 per month to US$680 so I phoned them to be told that the Govt has changed the Urban Act and we must now pay for the amount of land you own at the rate of US$42 per acre. So I told him I didn t even earn that kind of money to be told sub divide your property and sell the land. I then told him that the Govt had forced us off our farms in 2002 and now it was doing the same to the people living in town. He told me he understood but there was nothing he could do. So I am going to go to the Chronicle and the Consumer Council and start telling everyone not to pay. What will Council do kick us all out of our homes? Please could you spread the word and lets hopefully all stick together.
