    To the Beach

    Here’s the Good Girls contribution to summer: our very own “Swimsuit” Issue.

    Of course, we’ve done it, as Laura said earlier in the week, in true Good Girls fashion…

    If you’re feeling lucky and want to hazard a guess as to who’s pictured in each photo, be our guest…

    What’s your favorite place for fun in the sun? Is there a beach, pool, lake, or river you want to get away to this summer?

      Am I close?

      by Stephen Blackmoore on July 6th, 2007 at 9:03 am

    2. Well I guess I can’t guess since I know….

      I’ve been loving fun in the sun this summer. Lots of beach days (which is a departure from my usual pool days) and lots of days just walking around. Today would be a great beach day, but it looks like I’m getting the full-on press (read: being begged) to go to Navy Pier. Beach might have to wait until tomorrow (although I also have a lot of work to do and ought to just hole up and do it; so maybe it’s library tomorrow). Regardless, I LOVE SUMMER!

    3. Close, but no cigar…

      by Laura on July 6th, 2007 at 9:44 am

    4. I’m a beach girl myself. And I just returned from one last week. It was GREAT!

      With any luck, I’ll sneak in another day there while in the Northeast for a wedding in late August.

      by Laura on July 6th, 2007 at 9:46 am

    5. I love the summer too, as long as I’m near a pool or can get away to the beach. And I love the way the night air feels in the desert….

      by Diana Killian on July 6th, 2007 at 10:05 am

    6. I know this will shock Laura, but I’m not a beach kind of girl. Having said that–the white sand and clear water at Destin has spoiled me for all other beaches. The water is turquoise. TOURQUOISE! And you can see through it. Beautiful.

      by Sara on July 6th, 2007 at 10:09 am

    7. I will admit to not being a big fan of sand….

      That’s my guess. But you are all so gorgeous, who could tell?

      And thanks for letting me play in your house this week. I had a great time and I’m sorry about the broken furniture.

      by David Terrenoire on July 6th, 2007 at 10:45 am

    9. Again, close. But no.

      We loved having you David. The broken furniture lends a certain charm.

    10. I can’t imagine any other context in which a cobalt blue martini glass is utterly right.

      by Keith on July 6th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    11. You’re so right dah’ling. It is soooo perfect.

      I can’t get all the pictures to load at once, but this is my guess. Oh, the heartache of living in the cornfields.

      by Liz on July 6th, 2007 at 10:39 pm

    13. It’s funny, but EVERYONE has gotten two wrong.

      Keep guessing.

      by Laura on July 6th, 2007 at 11:05 pm

    14. No idea, but I can guess:

    15. One right, Rob. And welcome back!

      Viva Theo!

      by Theo Epstein on July 7th, 2007 at 6:27 pm

    19. Good Girls, we have a winner!

      *insert sound of thunderous applause*

      Congrats, Theo! You know your Good Girls!

      by Laura on July 7th, 2007 at 6:38 pm

    20. I must say I’m thrilled to know we deceived so many of our faithful readers. A good sign for our writing, I hope.

      by Sara on July 7th, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    21. Well, at least I got Diana right. Of course, she was the easiest to get.

      Regina, I am embarrassed - I have actually met you (in another personna, of course) and would have hoped at least to guess you correctly. My age must have dimmed my observation.

      Ah well….

      by Bob on July 7th, 2007 at 10:56 pm

    22. Theo knows his Good Girls? Nah.

      This game combined Theo’s two favorite hobbies: voyeurism and Sudoku. Laura’s color commentary on the wrong answers turned this into a simple math problem. Remember: not only does Theo have a sparkling personality, but he also crushed his SATs.

      Theo’s only regret? He should’ve held onto the right answer until you started offering valuable cash prizes.

      by Theo Epstein on July 7th, 2007 at 11:19 pm

    23. No valuable cash prizes to speak of…but, perhaps a book?

      Send a snail mail addy to me at laura@laurabradford.com and you can have a book. For what it’s worth…

      by Laura on July 8th, 2007 at 3:56 am

    24. Theo, when I took SAT’s was far enough in the past that the top possible score was 800.

      It has been said that age and cunning will triumph over youth & skill - but in this case it didn’t.

      Enjoy!

      by Bob on July 8th, 2007 at 10:56 am

    25. Just for the record: way too hot at the beach today.

      by Tasha Alexander on July 8th, 2007 at 2:22 pm

    26. It’s baking here, too. How about we retreat to a cool movie theater?

      by Sara on July 8th, 2007 at 8:47 pm

    27. Late comer here, but I’ve been traveling to China. SO, since my hotel is very near the Yangtze River, and I watch people swim in it every day, I’ll say the river bank at the Yangtze.

    28. Sara, a movie sounds great. What shall we see????

      by Tasha Alexander on July 8th, 2007 at 9:38 pm

    29. Umm…Looks like it would be a choice between penguins (again), mutant cars, and the girl detective. I pick Nancy. Anyone else have a good new movie to suggest?

      by Sara on July 8th, 2007 at 10:40 pm

    30. Don’t ask me why…because i don’t think the reviews are all that great…but I want to see Waitress. I may treat myself to a “me date” if it’s still out.

      by Laura on July 8th, 2007 at 11:15 pm

    31. Not a chick flick, but I saw Transformers on a whim Friday night. I was surprised by how entertaining and humorous it was. My wife does not necessarily share my opinion.

      Thought about seeing License to Wed, but then I saw the reviews.

      by Will Bereswill on July 9th, 2007 at 12:12 am

    32. “My wife does not necessarily share my opinion.”

      You’re so diplomatic, Will!

      The new Robin Williams movie doesn’t look good—and I like Mandy Moore. I didn’t need to see any reviews, I just looked at the posters and could tell.

      by Sara on July 9th, 2007 at 12:24 am

    33. after 29 years and 11 months of marriage, I finally get it. I’ve had to learn diplomacy.

      by Will Bereswill on July 9th, 2007 at 1:15 am

    34. Girls, does my glass make me look fat?

      by Diana Killian on July 9th, 2007 at 9:07 am

    35. LOLOLOLOLOLOL, Diana!

      I’ve read somewhere that cobalt blue martini glasses add fifteen pounds.

      by Laura on July 9th, 2007 at 9:14 am

    36. It’s the blue, Diana. Does it everytime….

      :wink:
