And The Winner Is....

CONGRATULATIONS ANGELA!
READ HER STORY HERE...


I'm have to start this story by pointing out that I'm a rather large busted small woman.

After having baby number 2 and finally dropping most of my baby weight I decided that I deserved a little indulgence and spotted a bargain at one of the Sue Rice sales - a gorgeous tankini with a zip at the front.

Unfortunately it was the end of the swimming season when my tankini arrived so it lay unused in my drawer until my youngest started swimming classes a few months later.

About the same time my youngest started swimming he also developed some new talents, one that included a fascination with clothes, and removing them... He learnt how to unzip his sleeping bag, how to unzip his all in one pjs, how to unzip and remove his jackets... His carer at day care had also informed me that he would often sit on her lap and wiles away his time zipping and unzipping her hoodie... my son, it seems has a thing for zippers....

Fast forward to Saturday swim classes... Usually, being a Saturday class dear Dad has the pleasure of accompanying master 1 into the swimming pool, but on this particular day I had somehow drawn the short straw.

It wasn't until I was getting ready that I reached into my draw and realised that I had a fabulous, brand new, Sue Rice tankini to get myself into. I have to admit that everything else flew out of my mind as I pulled on my new flattering swimsuit and admired myself in the mirror....

I was a little excited at the thought of showing off my new swimsuit as I swept my bundle of joy into my arms, and joined the Saturday class that consisted mostly of Dads and their bubs.

Less than 60 seconds after getting into the pool master 1 discovers my zipper......

and out they float - to squeals of delight from my youngest.

I can even begin to describe the horror. I felt like a porn star let loose at nursery school!

My son still has a thing for zippers.

Me? Not so much anymore!

My lovely tankini is in retirement for the foreseeable future!

How Embarrassing





Have you ever been absolutely mortified in a swimsuit? Do you have a horrifying memory that you thought you'd never have to speak of again? Is there a story that makes your cheeks turn pink while you go over it in your head? 

If you answered yes then today is your lucky day (so you should probably go buy yourself a lottery ticket). We have decided that karma is on your side today and you deserve something special for this hair-raising, gasp-worthy, face-scrunching moment. All you have to do is share it. 

Describe this moment to us. We know you are thinking: 'Why would I want to relive that mortifying day? Why would I tell people on Facebook about that particular thing? What is in it for me?'

Well, we'll tell you. 

You could win a swimsuit that will ensure nothing like that will ever happen again! A swimsuit, for you and a swimsuit for your friend - to save your girlfriend from that very same situation. To the value of whatever you want!

If you like, you and your friend can come in to the store (if you're not overseas or interstate) and get personally fitted Sue Rice herself! Now that's special!

You can share your story anyway you like: You can write about it, you can send in a photo, a video, a drawing - anything you can think of! As long as you can put it on our Facebook page we don't mind!

To win: Simply get the most ‘Likes’! We’ll make your entry an image in our photo album ‘How Embarrassing’ and then the top 5 entries will go to our design house. From there the Sue Rice girls will choose their favourite and we’ll announce the winner on Facebook!

The competition closes on the 31st of July at 10.00pm. 

So ladies, dig up those memories, don't spare the detail and share your story with the world!
