My, my – there is just something about hot chicks in bikinis isn’t there? It’s a little bit like naughty lingerie except women are actually supposed to wear it out in public. I don’t know who thought of this idea, but kudos to them!
Bikinis became popular back in the 1960, driven mainly by Hollywood and the big screen. It’s silly to attribute modern bikinis to the likes of Jantzen or French fashion designers considering there are plenty of statues and paintings of the Greek Goddess Venus from the old Roman era showing her strutting her stuff in a bikini.
I grew up drooling over Princess Leia in her shiny gold bikini in the Return of the Jedi, and man I’ve only grown more fond of them since. Here at FBB, we love paying homage to hot chicks in bikinis, and you our devoted readers/visitors are the primary beneficiaries.
There are tiny bikinis and conservative ones, fuzzy ones, sleek ones, sporty ones like what we see in the Olympics, the list is endless. It was reported that almost a billion and a half dollars worth of bikinis are sold every year. This make sense, because we all know ladies have to buy new ones every year, aren’t ever satisfied with the fit or the look of the one they have, and will sometimes buy two or three because they can’t decide on a favorite. The average bikini costs $40 or more. Some women are shameless about buying used bikinis, which I find interesting since that’s not much different than buying used underwear (which has never seemed terribly popular). Fitness models frequently buy, sell, and trade posing suits, bikinis, workout wear, etc so why not bikinis?
Bikini contests seemed to be a legitimate source of income for chicks who had it and didn’t mind showing it a little. And this was before the NPC Bikini division was started. At this point, girls have a great chance to have a classy bikini showing and help promote their fitness modeling and spokesperson efforts.
It’s not so much what bikinis reveal as what they cover up. Hot chicks know what to leave up to the imagination, and what they show is always oh so tantalizing. Sexy bikinis are great, but I’m always more entranced by the bodies that are in them. We have to be thankful that we have the modern bikini to celebrate, but just as importantly we have to appreciate what has come about as a result. Where would we be without the bikini wax, bikini contest, and the mankini?
