Summer is finally here and lots of sexy skin is in. THE weather could hardly be more perfect to mark this most celebrated of occasions – today is National Bikini Day.
The sexy swimwear was introduced to the world by French mechanical engineer Louis Reard on July 5, 1946, but it really hit the fashion heights in the Fifties thanks to celebrity fans such as Brigitte Bardot.
Back in the day Reard had a difficult time finding a professional model to model his skimpy bikini so he hired an exotic dancer to model it, and the rest, as they say, is history. Needless to say, the design was a ginormous hit, especially with men. And for women, gone were the days of being covered up from here to there. Revealing more of the body was finally acceptable.
