Part B – The First Special Weekend.
Hi, Shandra here now.
Last week, we followed Katrina through a series of events that finally led her to become involved in the special weekends. Now, this part opens with that first weekend about to begin. In an earlier letter, Sarvesh told us a bit about these weekends, but we will learn a lot more as we follow Katrina through her first one.
I will not go over the whole story since you will obviously read it yourself. I only want to show you three interesting points that link to themes running through past and future letters.

The Red Swimsuit.
First, let's look at Lizamoa's red swimsuit. Back in Letter 27, Mike brought Lizamoa a red one-piece swimsuit. She was visiting New Zealand with Joseph, and since she didn’t own a swimsuit, they had to buy one. The suit was actually quite sexy, as being unlined, it clung tightly to the breasts of the wearer, particularly if it became wet. After Lizamoa wore it to the beach in Letter 29 when she went swimming, it sort of drops out of the story for a long time because after that, Lizamoa tended to wear a bikini or less than that when she was swimming.
It is not entirely clear why it was left in India and how Amita came to own it, considering it didn’t really fit her. Amita herself even wonders why it was left, but of course, it was a logical step for Katrina, since for her first swimsuit, it was sexy, but not too over the top.
I searched through the stories and notes about Joseph and Lizamoa leaving India, but nothing is mentioned about this swimsuit. I searched through Anne's diary, and nothing is mentioned there either. One answer to this would be to use another one-piece that Amita might own, but as you see below, it was better that it was the Red One-piece.
For some reason, it really made a difference to Katrina that the red one-piece had been purchased by Mike. There appears to be a special attraction developing between these two, well, at least on Katrina’s side, there is.

Elizabeth and Katrina.
There seems to be a relationship between these two girls that hints at being closer than just two friends. Both seem to be attracted to the other, with Katrina caught looking at Elizabeth’s nipples in the spa pool, and Katrina waking up to discover her friend holding her breast. We can sort of wonder where this might be going.
This was intended as a sideline to Katrina's adventures on the Nude Days. Where this was going was undecided when this story was written, as Anne's diary tells us of some spirited debates going on among the writers over what to do with Elizabeth.

The Bikinis.
During this story, Amita offers to buy bikinis for the two girls. These bikinis come with matching cover-ups and skirts, so they could be used at other times besides swimming. Both girls were surprised at this, but the story ends with the girls agreeing to wear them.
There was a debate among the writers concerning this. Getting those girls to move to bikinis so quickly seemed to be a bit fast. Almost like Amita was telling them instead of asking them. As I said above, both girls agreed, but it still seems a bit much of a jump for conservative Indian girls. But then, some years later, something similar to this happened for real among our friends in India. See the real-life story of Ayesha and Synthisha.
As a hint, I’m going to tell you this bikini will play a more important part in future sections of Katrina’s Story. Now I'm going to end before I give too much away.
