Swim or not swim

Leo on the same day in the newspapers several notes on swimsuits. I refuse to call them 'bathing suits,' which as you know anyone who summer in the North, some gentlemen were sturdy that you wore to the bank to save the waves.

Well, on the one hand, while the athletes from the Olympics is suggestive to and posing a male German magazine, with the consequent lower profit and scandal, (sports have become asexual years ago), on the beaches of Saint Tropez, which is of stars, are becoming less' top less'.

Returns to the famous, the entire bathing suit, retro, in the cotton and lycra, with and , squares in the Vichy style Bardot, but this time with a clear conservative flavor. It is not, of course, putting on the belt Full, or prehistoric 'pots' of yesteryear, but ... Ouch!, Everything is walk. The downside of fashion is that it always crosses the street without looking and any day you can run a horde of supporters of the Ku Kux Klan, as she gleefully left wanting for all ideologies.

But

calm. Fashion, sports, exhibitionism or conservatism are things that remain on the sidelines when they launch the next revolution of the antimatter and antibodies: the invisible industry. The materials used to make invisible already underway, we have to know.

Armies are interested in these layers magic, but the bad thing is that no longer serve to play, nor will the bodies to be regarded. To me, I put the hair stand on end, even under the water and one of those LZR Racer swimsuits that are making new brands to beat the Olympic, when I think of this opaque and ascetic era of transparency or invisibility?

"Europe needs a positive rather than negative agenda - noted the minister. - It would be nice to see whether adequate today created during the Cold War arrangements, or should think about new structures, firmly guaranteed the inviolability of post-war borders and at the same time take into account modern Realities. "
