Welcome! I hope you’re all excited because today you get to take part in a special event. Today we undertake a little social fashion experiment. All in the name of science!

Isn’t it a bit odd that swimsuits are commonly accepted as absolutelly safe and not at all sexually suggestive but lingerie isn’t? That’s strange, right? How many times do you look at a swimsuit and it’s essentially lingerie stripped of some of it’s usual components. If anything, that means swimsuits are actually more revealing than lingerie.

Now sure, I may be a bit biased. As an admirer of fancy dresses, I have chosen a rather elaborate piece for Rarity. You might say than an average lingerie set is not quite as conservative as Rarity’s outfit here and yes, you would be right. However, even an average lingerie set includes a bra, a panty and stockings (also a garter belt and straps but that’s not as common). That’s still more clothing than a 2-piece swimsuits. “Oh but Lubronyr, you handsome devil genius, what about a single-piece swimsuit?” I hear you ask. Well, single-piece swimsuits are usually much safer than their 2-piece alternative, yeah but not always. Case and point, the swimsuit is single-piece Coco wears is not something I would label as modest. Not to mention, single-piece swimsuits are not nearly as common as 2-piece swimsuits.

But that is not really my area of expertise. Besides, I’m biased towards lingerie. That’s why you’re here! That’s why you are all going to decide which one of these outfits is more suggestive. This is a highly sophisticated science experiment which took a lot of time and effort to prepare. We had to make sure that both of our research associates are equally matched in conventional looks. This is by no means an insult to Coco but Rarity is objectively one of the most beautiful ladies in Equestria. Fortunately, she’s also willing to make any mare just as beautiful as her so she called in her friends and gave Coco a makeover. They had to make her just as graceful, just as fabulous, just as … large as Rarity and boy, did they succeed. Coco sure must be grateful to get a free makeover from this and once this highly scientific social experiment is done, she gets to keep all the boons!

“Why thank you, Rarity. I’ve always wanted to not be able to sleep on my belly because there are 2 giant things in the way.”
“You’re welcome, darling.”

Anyway, regardless of the result of this experiment, I don’t believe I will enjoy drawing swimsuits. You better take a long hard look at Coco because you won’t see that very often. Sure, I understand why swimsuits are so appealing but after glancing back at Rarity, I just can’t. You simply can’t ask me to not draw lingerie. It’s way too fabulous to not draw.
