Bikini Turns 60

French automotive engineer Louis Reard created it and this week it turns 60. The brainchild of Louis was to stimulate sales in his mother’s lingerie boutique in Paris. The sales of the bikini did not take off at first as the two-piece swimsuit was thought to be scandalous in showing a woman’s navel. After 60 years the bikini iapproximatelyly 50% of all the swimwear bought in Europe.

This brings me to my point, why do woman stop wearing bikinis after they turn 35. This and cutting their hair short and wearing Capri pants has baffled me.

I know that some of you are going to say "I don't look good in one." Trust me as a male, we like to see you in them. Not everyone is perfect, but there are a lot of you that should wear them. So I for one would like to start a fad that all women should put away your one piece suits and buy yourself a bikini.

See you at the beaches ; )
