Dear Moll Diary,

My friend is concerned that I am taking too many books on my impending round-the-world-trip with mr Bodyboard. She hasn’t seen his bag. I came home last night and there it was, pristine, packed, and the heaviest bag I have ever attempted to lift. Two boards, two sets of flippers and two wetsuits. Although I might use them at times, they are not specifically there for his loving gal. They are there so he can surf no matter what. Rain hail or shine, he can get on a board and get out into the ocean.

And what will I be doing? What should any self respecting moll do on a twelve month surfing trip? Lie on the beach and observe other molls of course! This will be my year long study of moles of the world, a smorgasbord of bikini culture.

What do Japanese molls do while the object of their affection surfs, and more importantly does said surfer spear a tuna as they churn through a barrel (my use of words, definitely not okayed by mr Bodyboard) for their moll to make a sashimi masterpiece for lunch? Or is there a sushi version of a chicko roll……

Post Japan we’re of to Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Indonesia will see me tackle the heights of molldom, when Mr Bodyboard’s friend will join us. I will be in the interesting position of one moll, two surfers. Is it every molls dream, or nightmare? I have images of myself perfecting moving my eyeballs independently so I can watch them both. I also have visions of leaving them to each other and retiring to the bar…. Can two surfers be each others moll?

Late in the trip we will be in Canada for the snow season, and here I will be crossing the border from moll to ski bunny, hanging up my bikini and cocktail for a padded jumpsuit and hot toddy. As I can ski/snowboard about as well as I can surf/bodyboard I’m sure that again I will have a lot of time on my hands to observe tothers with a lot of time on their hands. I’ll be a mole going undercover to report to molls the secret world of bunnies.

Our trip will finish up in Hawaii, where is just so happens the bodyboard world championships will be on (mr Bodyboard did a very convincing ‘surprised’ face when we discovered this). I’m hoping they will do the right thing and also incorporate the moll championships. Not your stereotypical swimsuit comp, but challenges that real molls will strive to dominate. Who can hold their ‘interested and listening’ face for the longest when faced with a surfing monologue? As a group activity I would encourage us to attend the female body boarding heats, and support our minority male moles.

So check in on my blog every month to be kept updated with my world wide moll investigation, and if you have any suggestions of things I should look into let me know!

X Moll.
