When I first joined Shelbyville Recreation Center, it was the middle of winter, and I needed a new pair of swim trunks. I couldn’t find them in Shelbyville, so I ended up buying them online from a company called SwimsuitsForAll.
For some reason, this company has ratcheted up their direct e-mail this summer, and I’m getting messages from them once a week or more. One of their specialties is plus-size swimsuits; obviously, their business is geared towards the gender that buys the most swimwear, and the male swim trunks are an afterthought. So I was amused to get an e-mail today offering a FREE GIFT in the subject line. When I clicked on the message, it turns out that if I order a specific label of swimwear, I can get 50 percent off plus … a free sarong!
Excuse me while I attempt to contain my excitement.
