Splashed.

Nigella Lawson, the known to be 'domestic goddess' was spotted on Bondi beach previously in Australia whilst filming the upcoming series of Masterchef screening on the 1st May... Was not only splashing the waves, but splashing on the covers of every newspaper.

Nigella was wearing a 'Burkini' known to be that of a Burka and Bikini, designed by 'Modestly Active' an online company. This outfit normally known to be worn by Islamic women to maintain modesty and comfort, however Nigella wore it as swimwear whilst splashing with her water 'companion' Maria Mcerlane recently on the beach in Australia. The 51 year old Television cook, revealed to have 'sunphobia' on a recent blog, this could be the reasoning behind her 'cover up' which to some was a ridiculous, over the top and a humorous way of greeting sunbathers and the Australian 'scorching' sun which was explained to be at a moderate temperature, but to Nigella this wasn't the case. Nigella living in London used to the cold, chilly weather and not to mention torrential rain, is rather exposed and fearful of the harmful UV rays being emitted from the sun, therefore perhaps a Burkini was a sensible choice of clothing for one at risk. Her skin explained as a 'creamy porcelain' was protected by this swimwear which only revealed her hands and face was refracting the sun acting as a factor 50 guard... Which who can blame her is rather sensible for a woman who is at high risk of Cancer due to her mother and sister passing away.

I was first exposed to the media's discovery of Nigella's 'fashion crisis' causing an apparent 'stir' on the internet a night before the newspapers were released showing her on the front pages exposed to laughs and strange looks at the sight of what looked like a penguin and that of a strange fashion revelation, which revealed her ample curves. Yes, I admit I first laughed at the images of Nigella, but I really do sympathise with her, her approach to the sun to me is that of a sensible one: precautionary principle - it is better to be safe than sorry. She was having fun, comfortably, I have to say I cannot blame her, I would do the same. Nigella once explained that she would not be a fashion victim, that she cares more about comfort, to me, that is a good line to take. Why go out and be uncomfortable? Fashion doesn't have to be pain. Taken from another perpective, if Nigella wore a bikini to Australia's famous Bondi beach, she would have been scrutinised even more so than she has been, Nigella who is curvaceous and on the 'plussize' scale wearing a bikini would not have made her comfortable. Let the woman be, let her have her privacy, and just like those Islamic women maintain her modesty. She is not so 'food porn' and coquette as some may make out, she has more respect and coverage.
