I think the bathing suits are okay. Not my style, but not terrible.

But the choice of photos being used on some of the suites is terrible. There is one photo where the girl straight up has a wedgie. And if you are going to be showing bathing suits in such high resolution (with their zoom feature), they best be VERY diligent about editing out naughty bits, pubic hair, etc.

The suit itself is still there, it's just called the "Fly High!" now instead of KAT. It makes me wonder what will happen to DG's and KKG's and if the company will expand the line.

Yeah, that's not cool. It's not like that's just some random kite. It's clearly Theta's symbol, unlike the DG and Kappa suits which have random anchor and fleur de lis shapes.

This is a new one on me -- I've never heard of tanning stickers or of tanning designs.

I feel really old now.

These aren't licensed, and Kappa/DG/Theta HQ will likely put an end to them. Shouldn't be long for Kappa and DG to act. Some of the photos...blechh! Sloppy.

The "fly high" suit clearly has the Theta kite on the bottom, BUT the top has a diamond shape decoration. Fail.

The top isn't gonna work; you'll be tugging at it constantly to keep it up. Get hit by a wave and it's off, which makes for an interesting time at the beach. So much awesome swimwear available, don't see anyone spending $98 on these suits.

Thought: pairing these suits with those godawful shoes... no, just no.

Finally got a look at these. Yes, they look cheap and tacky but guess what, I bet they sell! The little Fleur de lis cut out on the KKG one is kind of cute and I can absolutely see my daughter liking it.

However, not licensing the product is a no-no and they will get a letter from the KKG lawyers any day now.

The popular thing at tanning salons around here is tanning stickers, so you can see how dark you are getting when you leave the tanning bed. My aunt and I purchased some online and use them when we are at the pool.

We used to use tanning stickers all the time in the 80s-90s, especially in tanning beds. We owned a tanning bed back then, and we'd use it to see how dark we were getting! And back then just about everyone tanned! :rolleyes:

But then wouldn't you end with a "insert random shape" pale patch in the middle of your tan? (I won't lie, the fact that I burst into flames on cloudy days is making it hard to understand :)) Also, on just a technical matter, the edges of the shapes don't look finished off at all. I would be angry at paying $98 to have to start fraying.

I swear, that Fly High suit was NOT there when I looked at the site yesterday! They must have been in the process of renaming it. It is so clearly a Theta kite.... :mad:

Yeah, but having a little white heart on your hip when everything else is tan seems to be okay. I'm in the same boat as you with tanning so I'm going off of my sisters. They seemed to enjoy it, plus it helped with the fading. They felt tanner when they could see the difference instead of not knowing and just seeing the tan fade.

I just get a big honkin' 404.

And yeah, this whole idea reminds me of the Playboy stickers people used to use when tanning in the 80s. Back when Hugh Hefner was only 100.

IrishLake 02-07-2013 09:18 PM

A tanning bed near me still has those bunnies. People still use them.

And GAH I think the suits are ugly as sin.

SWTXBelle 02-07-2013 10:13 PM

The suits look cheap - no structure or support, and the cut outs look like my 9 year old did them.
