I can't see anything wrong with wanting to make the best of yourself. If the prospect of lying around with little on spurs someone to drop a few pounds then surely it must be a good thing?

There is a cure: don't go on typical beach holidays. I've never understood the attraction of lying on a beach scantily clad and faffing around with potions and lotions to avoid sunburn even though you're inviting it by being scantily clad. Mad.

I see there's a campaign in Spain to get rid of this nonsensical idea.

When did it begin anyhow? I'm sure years ago people didn't have access to fake tans, body buffers etc

Did girls at boarding school shave their legs or have their bikini lines waxed before going swimming.

Did tired mothers with no labour saving devices have time to worry about cellulite?

I would love to see a new generation of women feeling comfortable hitting the beach on the spur of the moment no matter what they look like. I'm sure many do, but many more feel intimidated and uncomfortable.
