This illustration was also featured at Adios Barbie paired with author Samantha Dunn's article on her fear of wearing a bathing suit in public.

Just for fun, I occasionally make a cover illustration for a fake woman's magazine. Here's my Special Summer Panic issue, dedicated to the mixed messages of looking good in skimpy clothes and lots of recipes for gooey desserts.

The only time I ever wore a bikini was when I was 15 and at a cousins house who had a pool and they loaned me one. I felt so self conscious! And I had a figure then!
I’m perfectly fine to enjoy the pool in one of my suits with a skirt thingy…
Love your blog idea!

My very first “car” was a motorcycle (and man,was my dad mad!). I loved the freedom of riding it, just me and whatever cute boy I could find…no kids, no groceries, no worries.
I think riding a motorcycle would be a great fun illustration for my next book, which is all about what “Big Girls” do (hint: they don’t cry!)

Amen! It’s more important what we DO in the swimsuit than what we look like in it!. I’m looking forward to hopping on my motorcycle and getting out away from the city this summer. It feels like it’s been forever! I love your illustrations! Do you have any motorcycle chick illustrations? That would be so cool.

I love your positively uplifting blog posts. And I love the idea of celebrating the warming season. I hate bathing suit season as much as the next person, but the summer is such a wonderful time of year and it’s so terribly short. I want to enjoy the sun on my shoulders, the grass beneath my feet, walking around without a bulky winter coat.
