Yesterday was a momentous birthday. The bikini bathing suit turned 60!
Bikinis are so ubiquitous that it sometimes seems hard to believe people ever wore anything else to the beach, but there was a time that they were considered quite shocking. (I wonder what people would have said about thongs back in 1946.)
I don't want to date myself, but even when I was a child, I heard some older ladies talking about how scandalously-clad the young ladies were on the beach. My how times change.
