My first experience with spandex happened because of sports. I was young at the time, maybe 7-8 years of age, and my parents had signed me up for the city swim team that met during the summer months. On the first day of practice, I showed up in baggy board shorts and a t-shirt. The coach pulled me aside with my parents and explained that at a bare minimum I would need a Jammer or a Speedo Brief to continue practice.
That night, my mom took me out to the local sporting goods store where I was to look through the selection and pick a suitable suit. I grabbed a size 28 Jammer and a size 26 Speedo brief. I tried on both and was instantly hooked. I begged my mom to pay the full MSRP on the suits, and she graciously did.
Since then, my interests have grown into further and further aspects of Spandex and Lycra and really anything that fits tight!
I also used to run my own blog for a few years and I am tempted to start up again.
