Bikini Writing Prompts

A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table.  There's nothing wrong with them, but it's hard to stop thinking about it.  - Garrison Keiller

Happy Birthday, Modern Bikini!

It was on this day in France in 1946 that the Bikini was formerly introduced in Paris.  The designer had a hard time finding a model to agree to pose with it, so he had to hire an exotic dancer.  The bikini, introduced as the world's smallest bathing suit, was predicted to cause a cultural explosion grater than the nuclear explosions in Bikini Atoll, so that is where the name "bikini" comes from.  Though it was formerly introduced in the 40s, Roman paintings and evidence from the Mayan civilization prove that the bikini dates much farther back than the 1940s.
