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!

Thank you for all your great information. I have been blogging/learn about blogging for the past month now and there is so much to learn. Thank you for being one of those people that I can learn from!

Maureen,

not to be sexist but I will not ever wear a bikini...love looking at them on other people,preferably women lol!..but good info for localism to be shared with the public.

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)

Jay 

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.

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.
