"what's your bikini?"

Tomorrow June 21 is the real, real beginning of summer, according to the calendar... Are you ready for summer? The 4th of July is right around the corner!

bikini The 4th of July in Columbus is Red, White and Boom, the Doodah Parade....

"What's your bikini?" from Yoplait is about goals, dieting and more. Oprah's diet and exercise guru Bob Greene is involved now in Yoplait's campaign. Your bikini may not actually be a bikini? I know mine's not. Personally some of us are long past bikini.

I put one of my blogs on a diet a few weeks ago. No food blogging for Discover Columbus for a month! It may take longer... Monday June 18, 2007 it had been a month already. I looked at searches that are ending up on Discover Columbus to see if the diet has helped, see if anything has changed. It may take a couple of months of blog dieting for Discover Columbus. Or it may take exercise, blogisthenics to get the blog into bikini shape.

People are ending up on my Discover Columbus blog already searching for info on Red, White and Boom. I must have info on the blog from 2006 Red, White and Boom in Columbus.

My other blog, ColumbusBestBlog.com is still young and slender and probably can blog about food and wear a bikini. If ColumbusBestBlog.com did wear a bikini I believe it would be an "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Real Living HER Dot Bikini" ... yellow with red dots. The dots in the Real Living brands are not polka dots though my boss said so... Yoplait yogurt's "yellow polka dot bikini" commercials make me think of Real Living's brand.

Real Living brand Real Living has summer plans. Real Living is a sponsor of Blog Tour USA.

Sellsius Real Estate blog's Blog Tour USA is visiting 24 markets across the USA to network with bloggers in July. Real Living will be in good company on Blog Tour USA. Other sponsors I recognize are RSS Pieces, Inman News, Trulia.com, ActiveRain and more...

Real Living is promoting blogging to it's associates along with other web 2.0 ideas.

Columbus Ohio is home to Real Living and Real Living HER.

Maureen, Obviously I stumbled across a message for women... Ha ha - I thought that somehow you were going to tie the Bikini into the real estate business and I was curious as to how?! So I read along - ah well - you do have some interesting points but I am afraid a few were lost on me. (I guess that I lead a sheltered life - What is Real Living?)

Oh and just for the record - I don't wear a bikini eithr!

We went to see Oprah last year and Bob Greene was the featured guest. Nothing against Bob but a Hollywood celebrity would have been nice. No giveaways either...a small scale, a diet drink, a jump rope? nothing. The other guest was Andre Leon Tally who is number 2 at Vogue Magazine. Now HE was interesting! He works under Anna Wintour who is the person they modeled after in "The Devil Wears Prada". Who says I am not in touch with my feminine side. (How about those Bears?)

Phil: Is a blog about bikinis written to women? I am not so sure that is who reads it. My entry with the most clicks ever on ActiveRain is a localism post with the word "bikini" in the title it was just one of those Link Direction posts that Brian Brady wrote about. It only got 8 comments on ActiveRain, only is worth 220 points so it is not members reading it. It is just a localism post but it got a lot of traffic and some clicks through to the link on "my other blog..." Real Living is a real estate brokerage, based in Columbus Ohio. This blog is posted to RE side of AR too because of the Blog USA Tour info and Real Living being a sponsor.

Steve: Thanks for the comment.

Neal: You stick by your convictions to never wear a bikini!!

Jim: It is good to be in touch with your feminine side. I have never been to Oprah's show, but I would be disappointed with a scale, a jump rope and a diet drink too. Do you know about the Blog Tour USA? The tour will be coming through Orlando (that's where you are right?) on July 7 according to the schedule. You can meet the Sellsius° Real Estate bloggers and say "GO Real Living!" since they are a sponsor!!

Blog Tour USA schedule.

Maureen: No bikinis and no speedos either for me! Yoplait's commercials put the original song in my head for hours!

Jay: Speedos should be outlawed (except for competition.)

Someone should use the Purple People Eater song for a commercial. IBTWYPDB, Purple People Eater and Monster Mash I think were all the same era and fun.

"Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me" (Sheb Wooley)

I did not know those lyrics. One of my neighbors had the 45 when I was an itty-bitty kid and I remember the label with "Sheb Wooley" on it.

OMG! I hadn't thought about bikinis for more than 30 years! LOL I remember owning one. I think I even wore it once or twice.....wayyyyyyyyyyy back when. As I remember the bottom reminded me of a skimpy diaper and the top was like two little triangles! Not enough fabric to make a dinner napkin.

Ohhhh how times have changed.

Jun 24, 2007 04:23 PM

Idon't even wear a swim suit of any kind anymore much, with my glow in the dark white skin but it's been years since I could wear a bikini. Thanks for the comment Carol.
