So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Get a Bikini?

By Dennis Durrel

The bikini is one of the most fashionable and perhaps the smallest fashions ever designed! The bikini was familiarized to the people by Louis Rard plus Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion fair. The design was so indecent for the times that only a stripped dancer could approve to perform it!

Louis and Jaccques may have thought the idea for the bikini wasan original one butin fact it really wasn't such a new idea at all.Ancient Roman mosaics exist which show women in two-piece bra and pantieshaped costumes that look surprisingly like the modern-day bikini.

According to several stories Rard and Heim called their brand new bathing suit a 'bikini' after the place of the latest nuclear weapons test at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They felt the new bathing outfit would have an "explosive" result! They were definitely correct about it!

By the 1960's whilst the first Bond girl, Ursula Andress, came dripping from the ocean in her teeny bikini to the appreciationof James Bond himself, the bikini was already one of the most famous modes in women's swimsuit. Diffidence be hanged . The bikini had caught on.

Today onbeaches and bypools worldwide you can find a variety of bikinis. The one that started it all in 1946 was actually one of the most 'revealing'. It was astring bikini, with triangles of fabric covering the breasts and genitals and only strings making up the rest. Many string bikinis also offer coverage of the buttocks, though the 1946 one did not. No wonder back then they thought it was scandalous!

Other model of bikini contain a bandeau model top which has a rectangular strip of fabric wrapping the breasts, one with a top similar to a push-up bra, and more simple bottom parts such as briefs, shorts, or briefs with a small skirt attached. New styles consist of the tankini which has a tank top and the monokini, meager one-piece item of clothing which resembles the bikini, leaving the midriff ordinarily bare.
