Teenage swimsuit models are like the most delectable (and most unattainable) pieces of Belgian chocolates in a candy store.
To someone who only goes to summer shoots a few times a year, hot girls in swimsuits are a rare site, but teeners in swimsuits are much more rare. You can look at these young swimsuit models all you want, but you can’t touch them like you would your college swimsuit calendars.
Sure, you can treat them like any of the hot models in swimsuits, but the ‘teen’ connotation makes them extremely untouchable. They’re different from Japanese swimsuit idols by the way; because at least the asian girls only look young, but are actually in their twenties (yum!).
One weekend, I volunteered to be a gofer on the beach for a shoot with teenage swimsuit models. The fashion director and photographers were all pros so I introduced myself and offered my hands for any chore they can give me (including putting suntan oil on some of their teenage swimsuit models).
Water, water everywhere girls.
After getting weird looks from the crew, and getting interrogated by the director, they decided they can use some college volunteers who dream of making it into the fashion industry someday.
I got in with a job as a water boy for the hot models in swimsuits and immediately found out the difference between the mood around a young swimsuit models shoot and something like a sports illustrated swimsuit calendar.
Working on a young girl swimsuit set is much more fun! When work’s done you can play beach volleyball with girls who don’t put on airs about manicures and broken nails yet.
There are modest swimsuits that are cute (almost too cute). They are definitely meant for teen swimsuits collections.
But online, you’ll probably find them more on webshots community swimsuits (teen swimsuits section) than on college swimsuit calendars.
How do I know? Ok I might have taken a sneak peak online.
