Celebrity Bikinis

Although most of us have to contend with a less than perfect body, we are still entitled to wearing whatever bikini we are comfortable in.  There are a variety of styles to accommodate our body shapes and sizes from the skimpy micro bikinis to the full coverage camkini or tankini bikinis. 

We don’t have to look like a model to wear a bikini.  However, I thought it would be interesting to note some of the celebrities and models in theirs.  Let’s have a look at 27 beautiful women who have all made a name for themselves in one way or another and reveal some skin in their bikinis.  They appear in alphabetical order with birth date and brief entry about how they made it into stardom.   

1. Jessica Alba was Born April 28, 1981 and made her first public appearance at the age of 13.  She has posed for various magazines and was on the cover of the May 2006 issue of Playboy.  

2. Jennifer Aniston was born February 11, 1969 and became most popular for her role in Friends.  The bikini color combination really doesn’t do her much justice.

26. Charlize Theron, born August 7, 1975, made her way into modelling at the age of 16 which evolved into a career in acting in 1995.  She could use a bikini that gives her a little more volume on top to balance out her petite figure. 

27. Laura Vandervoort was born in Toronto, Ontario September 22, 1984.  Her acting career began at the age of 13.  She has appeared in several commercials and became more popular in the film industry in 1997.  Her bikini choice looks great for her body size and shape.

Bikini Pep

Growing up is hard for most.  When we were kids we often got teased about how we looked or acted.  Our classmates called us names or poked fun at us which often made us to feel insecure in one way or another.  I’m sure that you can remember who the bully’s were.  Perhaps you were one.  However, as children, we never thought about how our actions could affect another. 

Our school years contribute to the person we are today.  For those who were ridiculed, these insecurities may be longstanding.  I’m sure you have seen some talk shows where the focus was to bring the bully and the recipient together as a means of venting.  To express how the actions of another affected them and still does.  Yes, childhood seems to be the hardest years.

With that being said, how long should we let ourselves continue to live life with the seeds that were planted from our immature classmates?  Is there not a turning point where we break free from the messages that are secretly rerun in our heads?  We can’t change what has happened in the past.  However, we are responsible for the changes we make for our future.  No one said it would be easy.  None the less, it is our choice to choose how the past directs our life course. 

As adults, we work in hopes that our income will meet our needs.  Do you feel confident in the work that you do?  How did you develop this confidence?  Did you need someone else to tell you that you did a good job or could you decide this for yourself?  I think I can speak for most in that we know when we have done something well by the effort we have contributed.  So why can’t we apply this same principle to how we look and feel about ourselves?  We shouldn’t need the approval of others in order to feel good about whom we are.  We weren’t poured into a mould and popped out once dry.  We are unique as no one else looks exactly like we do.  There is no right or wrong body shape.  Most often, our shape suits us completely.  As a result, we need to learn how to accept what we have been given and utilize it to the best of our ability.  We need to stop the adolescent guidance that creates insecurities and focus on the efforts you have taken to make you the person you are today.

Whether you choose to wear a bikini or not, you have the right to feel confident in your choice.  Do you like the person you have become?  Are you kind, caring and giving?  Well, let these feelings be revealed outwardly.  Attitude is very sexy.  A full figured woman who is confident can look far more attractive than a thin woman who is conceded.  Forget about the past and focus on today and where you are going from here.  Wear your bikini or other attire in confidence.  Tell yourself you look good and mean it.  Positive self talk can override past negativities if you let it. 

Adding to your Bikini Collection

 

The next series of posts is going to discuss the different bikini tops and list some of the advantages and disadvantages of each.  The most popular bikini top is the triangle.  The fabric covering the breasts can vary in size.  Micros only cover the nipples whereas the standard and long triangle tops cover most or the entire breast.

Triangle bikini tops are also available in adjustable and non-adjustable styles.  The advantage to the adjustable triangle bikini top is that it allows you to move the fabric over the breasts to ensure proper placement.  The non-adjustable triangle bikini tops may not accommodate women whose breasts are situated closer together.  As a result, you may end up feeling like you are falling out of the bikini top.  Both are tied around the neck and back which allows for comfortable placement around the bodice. 

The biggest disadvantage to the triangle bikini tops is that they offer absolutely no support.  Women who are larger on top may not find that them to be the most comfortable choice as they may contribute to shoulder and lower back pain due to lack of support.

At Bikini Attitude, we feel it is important to provide you with information that may assist you in adding to your bikini collection.  With so many different styles to choose from, the decision process can be a little overwhelming.  Through these posts, we hope to alleviate this stress by answering the questions you may have.  Adding to your bikini collection can be an informed procedure.

Sexy Hot Bodies

Young actress Chitrangada Singh from India is scheduled to make her next stage appearance this year in the film Aur Devdas.  Her beauty has graced the screens before and then suddenly it was as though she had disappeared.  After three years, she is ready for a comeback.  Reporters convey that she is very confident with herself and looks forward to settling back into the acting role.

However, how deep is her confidence?  Conversely, during an interview yesterday, she relayed that it takes guts and confidence in order to feel comfortable with wearing a two piece.  Chitrangada confesses that she doesn’t have the attitude that it takes to wear a bikini and will not accept a role that asks her to do this.  On the other hand, Chitrangada has made numerous photo shoots that reveal just as much as any bikini would.

Then there is Goldie Hawn who, at the age of 63, was reported as being totally confident with her body.  She, along with her husband, were located on the beaches of Hawaii. It was stated that she isn’t afraid to show off her “bikini body” although she does carry some extra weight around the waistline. 

In this situation, we have two very beautiful women with very different views of self confidence.  Does self confidence stem from cultural expectations?  We live in an image driven society.  Sexy hot bodies flood the magazines and media in order to sell a product.  Can self confidence be only skin deep?  I think not.  If women truly are self confident, nothing should prevent them from self expression.  

So, what if we have tough cultural values on one side and a domestic kind of thinking on the other?  Can both be truly self confident?  How is self confidence defined? If we feel governed over how we should act then we are not confident.  Confidence means we are secure, which is one of the very basic necessities of human nature.  Self expression is the result of feeling secure.
