I hope you’re having an amazing summer.
Went to the beach with my gf Melodie this weekend.
She was shooting for Refinery29 so we walked all over on a babe-hunt.
I acted as her assistant, which just means I helped her creep up on unsuspecting girls.
When they’d ask what the photo was for, I’d interrupt Melodie and say “Hustler.”
I lost my assistant position pretty quick after that.
It feels weird putting bikini photos of myself on the interwebs. Maybe it’s because I’m curvier and my thighs touch?
WHATEVER!
This is the only body I’ve got. Might as well enjoy it.
Besides, it’s not like I’m naked. Those are on a different site…
(I’m kidding Mom, Dad & Grandma).
I had SO much fun at Rockaway shooting and walking around that I just look at these photos and smile.
Although OMG THE SUBWAY RIDE GETTING TO THE BEACH……7 TRAINS, A LOST FRIEND, AND 2 HOURS LATER…..
i h8 new york sometimes lolz

Thank you Ester. This was such a wonderful comment to wake up to!
And tights totally made sense to me!!! ;)
Much love! xxxx-dana
of course, I meant thighs! where is me head? haha (obviously thinking of thighs that need tights, like mine! haha)
You are so beautifull!!
Love your blog…!
Thank you love!!!!
you’re gorgeous and I like that you’re thighs don’t touch and you still feel confident enough to share! I try my bestest to do the same and I ain’t got no ITC (inner thigh clearance) either. It’s sad that we’ve become accustomed to it and think it’s the norm, when it’s not! I had ITC at 16, because I looked like a prepubescent boy. Also, share Melodie with me? I hate that you’ve got such good photographer friends! PB & JELLY!
AHHHH ITC! I love it. Gonna use it next time ;)
And yes, I have VERY talented friends. I’m lucky because there’s so many photographers in NYC.
But I did take a photoshop class and it taught me how to do color, contrast, etc. It was really helpful in making my photos look good even if I’m not using a professional photog. I highly suggest you find something like that in Seattle! xoxo
LOVE THE BATHING SUIT LOVE YOUR BODY LOVE YOU!
I love you too Viv. So mush. <3
Curvier?! Are you kidding me!? Jeez, the world these days…
Just stumpled upon ur blog…and fell in love. U are stunning, such a beautiful woman! let me know if u ever come to switzerland ;)
It’s so amazing that u can say simply what many people in this world (i fathom) and people i’ve meet, don’t realize, is that u must find self love before….
u can give so freely because love already lives in your heart
:) xoxoxoxoxo
