The Bikini swim suit turns 60 years old, this month. At one time the bikini was viewed as rather racy. Our friends at Yahoo did a survey asking for the public's concept of the bikini icon. The winner? Ursula Andress.
(Or Ursula Undress as we used to call her.) The photo is from the James Bond movie, "Dr. No." You may remember her line as she emerged from the water, she says to Sean Connery, "Are you looking for something?" He responds, "I'm just looking."
We were all looking.
Reard named the design after Bikini Atoll in the Pacific, where the United States tested an atomic bomb, because he thought the excitement over it would be like an explosion.
