I felt like this video needed a post all on it’s own. Lazy beach days, streaming old Hawaiian music to make us feel like we’ve gone back in time. I don’t need to say much. All the babbling is in the post below.
Now all I want to do is lay around, listen to good music, and just be.

I had every intention of posting about beaching at Gas Chambers weeks ago.. but it never happened. Coincidently, the topic of high-waisted bikini bottoms came up within the last couple of days. Perfect opportunity.
Now, this is getting into some real man repeller territory. Something I think the repellizer herself would be proud of. The high-waisted bikini bottom. My boyfriend doesn’t like them. He gave me a funny look when I shimmied them on for the first time. A guy told my friend [who has the same bottoms] that she had “granny panties.” She might never be able to wear her bottom with the same confidence again.
Then there are those who rave about them. Impressed that we who brave the beach with such bottoms can really “pull it off.” People ask what brand they are, where they’re from. The real slick guys with style compliment cooly.. indubitably impressed. And in all honesty, it doesn’t really offend any one either. Young or old (no skimpy or saggy going on here!).
Obviously you know where I stand. I where them. I love them. The bottoms are unique and flattering. They keep everything tucked and never come off when I’m surfing. If anything, I probably get more attention wearing these bad boys on the beach then any of my other bikinis. Double looks.. and maybe some snickering and snide remarks. But whatever. To me, these Mikoh bottoms are fashion. The stuff that gets people talking and turns some heads. Something hard to come by in the surf/swimwear industry. So you may like it.. you may not. But that’s what it’s all about!!
And so, I will continue to brave the beach with bold bikini statement.

Got a chance to meet the lovely Kalani from Mikoh Swimwear and was surprised when I got to get my nylon/spandex fix on!! Oh you know, just spending the money that I should be spending on Christmas presents. But it was so worth it. That girl was loaded with swimsuits it was all incredibly over-stimulating! I nearly had a heart attack.
Mikoh is pretty amazing. The fit is so flattering and comfortable. I wish I could have got every style in my size!! I’m especially obsessed with the little high-waisted number. That bad boy is going to go from beach to fashion until it is falling apart. I can’t wait to catch some waves during the day and keep it on into the night under a sheer skirt!!!
So I’ve got to say.. I’m pretty mad about Mikoh!!
