National Bikini Day!!!!

So it seems there is a day for EVERYTHING, you name it there is most likely a day Celebrating it. Today happens to be National Bikini Day, and July 5, 1946 was when the Bikini was first seen in Europe. The Bikini didn't come to the US until the 1960s...


On July 5, 1946, French designer Louis Reard unveils a daring two-piece swimsuit at the Piscine Molitor, a popular swimming pool in Paris. Parisian showgirl Micheline Bernardini modeled the new fashion, which Reard dubbed "bikini," inspired by a news-making U.S. atomic test that took place off the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier that week.

European women first began wearing two-piece bathing suits that consisted of a halter top and shorts in the 1930s, but only a sliver of the midriff was revealed and the navel was vigilantly covered. In the United States, the modest two-piece made its appearance during World War II, when wartime rationing of fabric saw the removal of the skirt panel and other superfluous material. Meanwhile, in Europe, fortified coastlines and Allied invasions curtailed beach life during the war, and swimsuit development, like everything else non-military, came to a standstill.

Before long, bold young women in bikinis were causing a sensation along the Mediterranean coast. Spain and Italy passed measures prohibiting bikinis on public beaches but later capitulated to the changing times when the swimsuit grew into a mainstay of European beaches in the 1950s. Reard's business soared, and in advertisements he kept the bikini mystique alive by declaring that a two-piece suit wasn't a genuine bikini "unless it could be pulled through a wedding ring."

In prudish America, the bikini was successfully resisted until the early 1960s, when a new emphasis on youthful liberation brought the swimsuit en masse to U.S. beaches. It was immortalized by the pop singer Brian Hyland, who sang "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini" in 1960, by the teenage "beach blanket" movies of Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, and by the California surfing culture celebrated by rock groups like the Beach Boys. Since then, the popularity of the bikini has only continued to grow....

The Bikini and swim wear fashion in general has changed so much and has continued to be develop in new ways and get more creative and daring over time. I love swim wear it is so fun and flirty and there are so many style to fit different bodies.

I thought this was a fun piece of History, and had to share :)

Happy National Bikini Day!!!!!

Neon Nights at Harrah's with Fashion Week San Diego!!!!

Last weekend on Friday I was in the Neon Nights fashion show with Fashion Week San Diego at Harrah's Resort. Let me tell you... Harrah's is in the Boonies in the middle of nowhere, I had know idea (haha). Any way besides all of that, the show was a lot of fun!! There was a Neon theme, so we had dramatic neon makeup, which glowed in the dark. The fashion show showcased the Swimsuit designers that are showing in Fashion Week San Diego this year. I walked for Noia, and she showed her new collection of the season.

There was a big pool party after the show, but I wasn't able to stay.... I'm glad I was able to be part of this show and I look forward to doing more with FWSD!!! :)
