How Much is Too Much Skin?

Recently, a high-school student's win at a swim meet in Anchorage, Alaska was disqualified because of how her team-issued swimsuit fit her. The 17-year-old student at Dimond High School had competed in four events at a competition last Friday, winning one of them. But her joy was short-lived after a race official claimed her swimsuit had "shifted into a position" that violated a rule, showing "too much skin."

Meanwhile, the photo shown above featuring a girl of about the same age ran as a full-page bra ad at 12 x 23 inches, suitable for framing, a couple of Sundays ago in the New York Times. I wonder which girl's parents are proudest of their daughter?
