I'm voting 1982 style.<br/><br/>I also think that placement of a cupcake w/ some candles would be good.<br/><br/>Oh... I showed my wife. She just said "More pictures of the cat". She's a crazy cat lady.<br/><br/>:-) Looks like you’ve chosen two paths for your suit…
1: Super high on the waist a-la 1982
2: Big Granny Style bottoms

If these are truly your options… I’m voting 1982 style.

I also think that placement of a cupcake w/ some candles would be good.

Oh… I showed my wife. She just said “More pictures of the cat”. She’s a crazy cat lady.

I think it had to do with determining if anyone would be around at xmas time for a party.<br/><br/>I wish I could display my birthday in a race, sadly it would be a very cold race or very far away since December isn't the ideal racing month. <br/><br/>What about half-birthdays??<br/><br/>I am not a fan of pink, but it is your birthday if you want a white and hott pink suit that is excusable for one day only sooo ROCK IT!!!!

I wish I could display my birthday in a race, sadly it would be a very cold race or very far away since December isn’t the ideal racing month.

What about half-birthdays??

I am not a fan of pink, but it is your birthday if you want a white and hott pink suit that is excusable for one day only sooo ROCK IT!!!!

When in doubt have Mel design your suit. She designed my Splish ones that I race in. But I think you don't need any help, yours look great! I am so glad you are converting to wearing a swimsuit to race in like me ;-) YAY! <br/><br/>XO, <br/>E Cool, love the blue suit. When in doubt have Mel design your suit.

The only problem is that according to the USAT, you're already 30 because that's your racing age on 12/31/08. If Greg really loved you, he'd arrange for a dozen balloons or more to be waiting for you in T1/T2 - helpful and yet festive. Addtionally, your bike rack should be decorated with streamers and possibly a banner exclaiming the purpose of these decorations. <br/><br/>With all of that said, there's nothing wrong with a see through tri-suit so long as it's not making you uncomfortable and that you're not a walking (or running)NC-17 rated athlete. After all, the ZteaM kit I designed is see through when wet (and sort of in the dry) - so I've got some experience there. I don't worry because anyone who sees it will soon be behind me (ok, a few might get by). <br/><br/>Lastly, wear what you dig. Hot pink would be MUCH cooler. <br/><br/>I hope Ben notices Greg's weak spot and sings happy birthday during the entire bike and run leg of Alcatraz. <br/><br/>If you were here (Tiburon) for your birthday I bet we could get Piper to whack you with a balloon.

Someone HAS to tell the announcer folks before you finish!!

are you getting “a” kit or multiple kits? i think they are pretty hot, however i know that chris is like 20 shades darker than you. are you going to mystic tan before your first race in the white kit?

p.s. greg this is why 4 months in advance is NOT too far ahead to plan.

p.p.s. your attitude towards birthdays is also why you failed miserably at my 29th last year.

p.p.p.s. are you trying to say you didn’t like my singing!?!?!?!?!?

I thought white suits only went see-through after a couple of wearings, which you wouldn't have to worry about for this one. I think I'm getting a white suit from k-swiss soon, which will be interesting if it shows off as much as you all seem to think. I like the pink better.

When everybody sings "Happy Birthday" to me it's probably the most excruciating :30 of the year for me. And then that one birthday when everybody sang for me and I was wearing only a soaked, white/see-through bathing suit, that was only slightly better.
