All Nicole and Tanya wanted to do was lose a little weight so they'd fit into some stunning new swimsuits at the beach this summer. And they succeeded -- sort of.

It all began when Nicole received some Internet spam advertising Devlin's Reducing Pills, which promised remarkable weight loss overnight. Checking the firm's web site at www.say10.net, they became convinced they could go from 210 lb. (size 18) to 120 lb. (size 4) while they slept and ordered a bottle. They also went to another web page and ordered brightly colored size 4 thong bikinis.

But after taking the pills, the two women awoke the next morning to a big shock. They had gone down not to size 4 but age 4 years. Holding their adult bikini tops over their now immature bodies, Nicole exclaimed, "We look like preschoolers trying on our mommy's clothing." So they e-mailed a complaint to www.say10.net. The reply read, "You lost weight overnight, as promised! We just didn't specify how it would be accomplished." So they sent another e-mail, threatening legal action if the process couldn't be reversed. The message came back, "No such URL." On further checking, the girls founded that the Devlin web site had been taken down.

Ultimately, Nicole and Tanya decided to "go with the flow." They got new swimsuits (size 4T) over the Internet, and as the above photo verifies, they are the cutest girls on the beach. "I think we're having more fun than we expected," Nicole admits. "But only until school begins in September, when we have to report to kindergarten," Tanya whined.
