>Well Sweetie, I'm Southern born and Southern bred and >when I die I'll be Southern Dead. Anyway, I'm that >cross between a Southern Belle and a Redneck Girl. All >kidding aside. While family is pretty conservative, we >weren't taught to be ashamed of our bodies. But my >sister and I when we were younger wore one piece >swimsuits because Momma came from a very conservative >religious background and wore one piece suits and >didn't really feel it was appropriate for little girls >to run around in bikinis. It took some convincing for >her to allow me to get my first bikini at thirteen. >But she had to approve it. She also had me start >wearing a bra when I was nine because I started >developing early. I wasn't allowed to wear make up or >get my ears pierced until I was fourteen. But on the >other hand, I started shaving my legs and underarms at >ten because I didn't like wearing shorts or skirts >with hairy legs and she actually sat with me in the >bathroom and taught me how to shave so I wouldn't cut >myself all to hell learning. I'm a little weird, but, >I hated getting my pubic hair, I hated it because it >was itchy and uncomfortable and honestly kind of >embarrassing to me. Then I found out when I had my >first period just before turning twelve, how gross it >was to have hair down there when you're on your >period. So I started shaving there before I was >twelve. When Momma found out about it, we had a talk >about it. I didn't get in any trouble but she did try >to convince me I'd get used to it. But after some >discussion, she relented and just told me to be >careful because a cut there would hurt a lot more than >on my legs or pits. On the other hand, I didn't like >wearing a bra and it ticked me off that my brothers >could run around without a shirt on all the time and I >couldn't, but that was life. > >While I'm not giving specific information on where I >grew up and actually still live. I'll say it's in one >of the Southern States. We're about an hour or so from >the Gulf and Gulf Shores is one of our favorite >vacation spots. I city I live in, isn't all that small >but it has a small town feel to it and always has. I >can't imagine ever living anywhere else. I grew up in >a nice neighborhood in a four bedroom ranch with a big >back yard and full basement. A nice little home in the >suburbs. Where I live now, is only a couple of blocks >away from where I grew up. In fact, my kids go to the >same Schools I went to. > >I was born in the late eighties, I'm thirty-seven now. >The swimsuits were a little less modest in the >nineties. As far as comparing them to the clothes in >the 70's, the only comparisons I can make are older >movies and pictures. But being as pretty conservative >about showing skin in public Momma was a little >hesitant to go there with my sister and me. While the >bikini I picked out wasn't super modest, it wasn't >like wearing a thong. It showed a little more skin >(especially my butt) than she was comfortable with, >but she was willing to work with me on it. It was a >big step for her when she was raised by a woman who >would have taken a switch and whipped her bloody for >even thinking about wearing something like that in >public. In fact my Granny was so uptight, she would >insist they not only had to wear a one piece suit, but >they also had to wear a shirt over it to cover >everything. I'm really happy that Momma in spite of >her upbringing was willing to work with me on things >like that growing up.
