Don't Get Your Bottoms In A Bunch

Dear Sugar
I was in my boyfriend's hot tub on Saturday. And my swimsuit bottoms got sucked up in a pipe (you don't want to know how it happened). Do you know what I should do to get them out? My boyfriend said he would get it, but does not know what to do. PLEASE HELP! To make matters worse it is my sister's $80 swimsuit!! She has no idea that I borrowed it. In Trouble Taylor

Dear In Trouble Taylor
First, try to straighten out a wire hanger (aside from the hook part of it) and try to hook the suit onto the top of the hanger and pull it up. If that doesn't work you might need to call a plumber to get the swimsuit out. I know it's costly but it could ultimately clog the drain. Or perhaps you know and trust a handyman neighbor who could come to the rescue?
