In 1946, engineer Louis Reard brought sexy back to Cote d'Azur. Just like those ugly nukes being tested that year on Bikini Atoll, he knew his haute new two-piece design would explode onto the fashion scene. Boom, boom and the B-I-K-I-N-I was born!!! Some say Mr. Reard created an anti-tan-line swimsuit, while others believe he was going for the most scantly clad swimsuit ever. Maybe it's a two fold purpose? Either way, it's still an itty bitty sensation!!! The advertisements Mr. Reard ran claimed it wasn't a bikini unless it could be pulled through a wedding ring. Well, packing won't be a worry, now will it!? Without Mr. Reard's little invention, how would I ever get my bikini season thinspiration!? Bikini bombshell cheers to you and yours. Xoxo-BLC3.16.2011
