Bikini turns 60 this year!

There is a great article in the Montreal Gazette today about the bikini with a picture of Jane Mansfield in a horizontal striped and very revealing bikini.

Interesting how the bikini is turning 60 and this is the year of the one piece.

Deborah, do you have a link to the article? I just went to the Montreal Gazette site and could not find it.

I did find an article from several months ago however on the history of the bikini - rather interesting.

I'll check for an online link, Sue. If nothing comes up, I'll try and take some pics of the article and post here.

Thanks for the link. Gotta run but will read later...
