Loving the Vintage Vibe at Camilla and Marc’s latest CM Resort Swimwear Collection

Early Marilyn Monroe rocked a high waist 2-piece & so can you! I've been vacating at my Western retreat and have suddenly become fixated with one of my collection of retro Hollywood ski and Western photos that I used in the decoration of our place out here. It's an early photo of Marilyn Monroe on snow skis at the beach. The color-blocking of Marilyn Monroe's swimsuit looks so fresh to me now. Don't think it's the cutesy gimmick of the shot or the technicolor lighting that I'm focused on. It's what Marilyn is wearing that suddenly seems to look so modern and fresh to me. Her color-blocked, high waist 2-piece swimsuit seems so of the moment. And, yes, I'm grooving

The Wackiest Bikini has a bottle opener built in

Bottle Betty bikini with attached bottle opener My craziest email of the week, so far... I get some pretty wacky emails from publicists and most end up in the proverbial "round file," but this one is different. Bottle Betty is a new line of patent pending swimwear with an attached bottle opener. It's crazy, I know. One would expect that a bikini with an attached bottle opener to be tacky looking. Bottle Betty swimsuits appear stylish, at least from their web site photos. But, it brings me to my original, head-scratching question, "Why?" This really must be a guy thing. All I can say is that if you are too lazy to walk to the nearest poolside bottle opener and
