Things we know about this swimsuit:
· It's modeled above by Bobby Norris (R) and boyfriend (L) on British reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex.
· The Only Way Is Essex is like a cross between Downton Abby on opposite day and the Jersey Shore.
· This particular scene was shot in the Spanish coastal town of Marbella, which is like Spanish Cabo.
Things we feel pretty OK with not having an answer to:
· Is it actually a fabric headband? Or a testicle snuggie?
· Does the suit go all the way around one side like a rubber band?
· Does the wearer have to continuously clench? Is it a good workout?
· Is a regular thong just too much coverage?
· How in this day and age are we still inventing new bathing suits?
· Will we ever be able to see again? Or is the damage done to our retinas perminent?
We're really, really sorry about this:
