The last time Jen Simon was comfortable sharing a photo of herself in a bikini was back on her MySpace page (aka a long time ago). But after reading countless websites and listsicles telling her why she shouldn't wear a two-piece bathing suit (let alone share the photo as proof), this mother of two decided to post the simple reason she wears one: because she prefers them. Jen wrote:
After all, common knowledge dictates that I'm going to embarrass myself by how bad/old/uncool/fat/frumpy/mom-like I look. Or, alternately, I'm just posting it to "show off," hoping to bask in the accolades from old high school acquaintances and friends of my parents. I wear a bikini because I dress like a person and not a "mom."
