This week the bikini celebrates its sixty-third birthday. This tiny fashion item has had an impact way beyond its size when it emerged in Paris in 1946. The bikini was invented by French car engineer Louis Reard. This iconic fashion piece is a staple in every woman's wardrobe, and most gay men's as well. Ha Ha! To celebrate, let's take a stroll down bikini babe lane...
