National Bikini Day 2025
Rather appropriate for a 🌞 Summer weekend 🔥, today is National Bikini Day. It’s one of the few things I actually like about this season…
Two 👙 Piece
The sight of the first woman in the minimal two-piece was as explosive as the detonation of the atomic bomb by the U.S. at Bikini Island in the Marshall Isles, hence the naming of the bikini. ~Tom Waits
In a leap of post-War enthusiasm, Louis Réard brought the bikini to a Paris fashion show in 1946.
Naturally, there were pros and cons to this.
On the con side, the Vatican declared it sinful and a few countries banned it.
On the pro side, freakin’ bikinis!
These little gems make 🌞 Summer 🔥 a bit less horrendous.
👙 Origin 🤯
History of BIKINIS 👙 with INGRID NILSEN | Google Arts & Culture
So, there’s a bit more detail on the overall story of bikinis from a YouTuber who isn’t actually wearing one.
Whatever.
It’s a holiday weekend celebrating our freedom.
You’re free to wear one or not.
It’s all you.
If you’re comfortable in a bikini, great.
If you’re built like me, have another hamburger and fuhgeddaboudit.
Don’t
No guy – and I mean no guy – should wear a bikini bottom. ~Chris Harrison
Truer words…
No matter how cut you are.
No matter how little body fat you have.
No matter how lean a male model you are.
Just don’t wear a teeny-weeny banana hammock.
Speedos are not cool.
Men get board shorts, end of story.
Don’t even do Daisy Dudes.
Seriously, don’t.
Nobody wants to see that unless it’s Ladies’ Night at the strip club, and mostly not even then.
That’s all for today. See you back on Wednesday for a taste of Christmas in July
