In February of 1946 Commodore Ben H. Wyatt, the military governor of the Marshalls, traveled to Bikini. On a Sunday after church, he assembled the Bikinians to ask if they would be willing to leave their atoll temporarily so that the United States could begin testing atomic bombs for "the good of mankind and to end all world wars." King Juda, then the leader of the Bikinian people, stood up after much confused and sorrowful deliberation among his people, and announced, "We will go believing that everything is in the hands of God."
Summer's here and the A list are hitting the beach.
Stunning, slim and toned, they make looking good in a bikini seem effortless.
But we know that behind every famous beach beauty there is a team of
stylists, personal trainers and dieticians to help them hone the perfect
body.
With so much time and effort spent on looking good it's no wonder celebs can
have fun in the sun without worrying about their wobbly bits!
And they certainly have no problem showing off their perfect pins and toned
abs as they flaunt themselves on holidays in exotic locations.

The Kardashian family knows how to generate buzz. So when word spread that Kim's little sister, Kendall Jenner,
had become a bikini model, it wasn't at all surprising. That is, until
we remembered the girl's only 15-years-old! Now we're left to wonder: Is
Kendall too young to pose in a skimpy swimsuit?
But first: yesterday's poll. He may be new to the game, but 63 percent of Zimbio readers voted Robert Pattinson the world's greatest vampire. This number becomes more impressive when you consider Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise both played bloodsuckers in the past. And let's not even get started on Keifer Sutherland's fantastically bleached-blonde performance in Lost Boys.
But back to bikinis. If it weren't for Sports Illustrated,
would the world have the same respect for beautiful women in skimpy
swimwear? The answer: a highly probable yes. But the magazine's iconic
special edition has certainly helped. Yet if there's one thing the
magazine has never done, it's use a 15-year-old model.
If you haven't seen the shot of Kendall Jenner in a bikini, head over to Kim K's blog.
You'll quickly notice the socialite's jubilant endorsement: "How
stunning does she look!?!? I couldn’t be more proud!!!!" she posted.
Notice the five exclamation marks. Those mean she's SUPER excited.

The matches, involving 24 teams, are being played through Saturday at
Horse Guards Parade, just yards from Downing Street where British
leaders were meeting in emergency session to decide how to deal with the
ongoing riots in London and other English cities. Brazil and Mexico
played the first match.
Brazilian Taiana Lima, 27, also was pleased with the venue despite
the unrest. "The organization is great and the crowd have been very
good," she said.
Members of the International Olympic Committee said security is a top
priority and they were confident the 2012 Games would go smoothly.
Still, some British athletes expressed concern.
"A bloody disgrace, a minority of hooligans are sending out bad
message for the rest of the country. World eyes 2012!", double Olympic
track champion Kelly Holmes said in a message on Twitter.
Mikoh Swimwear is apparently one of LeAnn Rimes’ favorite bikini brand. She’s been name-dropping them on Twitter all summer, no doubt to score a sponsorship or free swimwear and, hey, it worked.

enough.” What’s life without love? You can accomplish everything you
want in life, but without anyone to share it with, what’s it really
worth.
Beach volleyball
It's the one Olympic sport that even has cheerleaders.
NBC, no dummy in the big scheme of things, is showcasing beach
volleyball in these Olympics, giving the sport more prime-time coverage
than, say, field hockey or softball, which is played fully clothed.
Reports the Vancouver Sun:
President George W. Bush went a couple
of days ago. He wasn't chased by cheerleaders, but one of the U.S.
women's team bent over to let him give her the traditional butt-pat for
good luck. But with photographers standing by, Bush chose instead to tap
her on the middle of the back with the back of his hand.
Poker and casino site Bodog.com has announced its sponsorship of one
of the most prolific duos in the world of women’s beach volleyball –
April Ross and Jennifer Kessy.
After winning two of the four international events this season, 2009
Beach Volleyball World Champions Kessy and Ross headed home to Orange
County to play in last weekend’s Association of Volleyball Professionals
(AVP) event in Huntington Beach, California. And for proud sponsors
Bodog, home court advantage at Surf City USA was all it took for these
girls to win their first AVP title of the year. The duo defeated top-seeded Misty May-Treanor and Nicole Branagh
Bikini Atoll is one of the 29 atolls and five islands that compose the
Marshall Islands. These atolls of the Marshalls are scattered over
357,000 square miles of a lonely part of the world located north of the
equator in the Pacific Ocean. They help define a geographic area
referred to as Micronesia.
Once the Marshalls were discovered by the outside world, first by the
Spanish in the 1600's and then later by the Germans, they were used
primarily as a source for producing copra oil from coconuts. The Bikini
islanders maintained no substantial contacts with these early visitors
because of Bikini Atoll's remote location in the very dry, northern
Marshalls. The fertile atolls in the southern Marshalls were attractive
to the traders because they could produce a much larger quantity of
copra. This isolation created for the Bikinians a tightly integrated
society bound together by close extended family association and
tradition, where the amount of land you owned was a measure of your
wealth.
Today was our first break, we have had sun all day, cruised the Ipanema
and the Copacobana beaches. I have been keeping my eye out for the
famous g-strings, but unfortunately, the hot bodied must also be
employed, because all I saw was sour wedgies and cellulite… Sara didn’t
do too much better, and only got the previous generation of stud muffins
(50+ bracket, which is also where I was looking).
Water is freezing!
With a cruizy day like that, we decided that tomorrow we head to Ilha Grande so we can hang by the pool, and hopefully get some dives in.
Before I sign off, I just wanted to comment on Rio in general. It is
by far the most expensive place we have been too in SA! But it is
beautiful! And the food is awesome! We are eating so much nice fruit and
food, the likes which we haven’t seen for quite a while! And with that,
we only have 9 more days left here in South America. With any luck, we
will post again before we leave here, but we are not promising!
Bridget matches a colorful vintage wrap top with high-waisted shorts
to give a tropical sailor look to her beach escape day. She likes to
have fun when picking out a bikini or beach outfit, and be inspired by
the place she’s visiting. Bridget’s advice for fashion when visiting new
places is to embrace the different cultures and scenery and give your
typical T-shirt and slippers look a vacation and live a little!
“Vintage looks are always a great way to mix things up.
They are perfect for pairing with a bikini and are an easy way to look
chic on the beach. Accessorizing is just as important for your look.
From a funky pair of sunglasses to oversized beach bags, I love to
embrace that beach babe look from the ’60s. Most importantly, whenever
you can wear heels, do it! Stilettos and sunglasses are the key survival
accessories to help you maintain a sexy beach look.
Bridget recreated Honey Rider from James Bond while in Jamaica. They
even had a bikini custom made to look exactly like the original! Wearing
that bikini and replicating some of Honey’s classic poses, Bridget
really looked like she came right out of the movie.
Of all the things that Bridget Marquardt from the Playboy Mansion
could have filmed about the Gold Coast in Australia, what was the first
thing that came to mind? The famous iconic Gold Coast Meter Maids!!
As the Eiffel Tower is to Paris and the Statue of Liberty is to New
York, Bridget and her production team believe the world famous Meter
Maids are everything Gold Coast.
Marquardt requested the Meter Maids to film with her for her exciting new travel show called Bridgets Sexiest Beaches.
The former Playboy Playmate donned a gold bikini and the Akubra. She
spent the afternoon as a Meter Maid, feeding the parking meters and
experiencing what the Meter Maids are famous for saving the tourists
from parking tickets and promoting everything that is Gold Coast!

Despite
Brazil's tragic loss to France in the World Cup the week prior, several
Brazilians sported necklaces with a map of Brazil and the gold and
green of their homeland's flag. But, since it was July 4th, one woman
expressed her dual citizenship in a red, white, and blue bikini topped
by a baseball cap with "Brasil" emblazoned on the front.
Tie-side
bikinis continue to make a strong showing, often coupled with a bandeau
top cinched in the middle and tying around the neck. Alternatively, the
clean lines of banded side bottoms and halter tops are becoming more
popular.
One thing that hasn't changed much over the years is the backside of the Brazilian bikini.
Not to be confused with a thong, it's a small triangle designed to
enhance the voluptuous curves of the posterior. (Note: must be worn with
a Brazilian wax job to avoid unsightly fuzz.)
Brazilian
men have brought racing style swimsuits to North Shore beaches, though
they haven't caught on with the American big wave surfers who still
prefer baggie board shorts.
The
only element of a Brazilian beach ensemble that offers much coverage
this season is the sunglasses with their rounded rectangular lenses and
thick arms.Nearby Acland Street is a bustling, vibrant street with an eclectic mix
of restaurants, wine bars and continental cake shops. During the day the
streets are lined with people drinking lattes; at night they’re buzzing
with clubbers and night owls making the most of the pubs, bars and
clubs often featuring international bands or DJs. Acland Street is known
for its recreational areas with restaurants, shops, hair room salons
all this along the beach of St Kilda. St Kilda is a suburb located
around 7 km south-east of Melbourne.
