Bikinis and other sexy stimuli can make men more prone to seek immediate gratification leading to blown diets, budgets and bank accounts, new research suggests.
In the study, detailed in the Journal of Consumer Research, men alternately fondled t-shirts and bras (which were not being worn during the test).
After touching the bras, men valued the future less and the present more, said lead researcher Bram Van Den Bergh of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. Viewing ads with women in bikinis had the same effect.

Gee! what we need is a The GOP Bikini thread. Girl’s of the GOP or Cheerleaders of the GOP. Pictures to follow.

Micheline Bernardini models the worlds first bikini, in 1946.
Now here's a full figure!
I might note that those soldiers who visit FreeRepublic will likewise reap enjoyment and inspiration from such threads.
Agreed on all counts and of course for the pinglist members it would indeed be a great convenience (as opposed to doing a keyword search for 'bikini')....the graphic for such a pinglist would indeed get the creative juices flowing :-)
However, after some consideration I would wish to remove myself from consideration in any involvement with the management of such a pinglist...even if such a list could get the blessing of the Mods here (doubtful in my view) I am imagining virtually EVERY male at Free Republic clamoring to get on the Bikini Ping List. The spectre of a thousand or more FReepmails in my inbox EVERY FREAKING DAY FOR A MONTH, all wanting to be added to the list, is quite a bit more than I really care to deal with. A deluge of that magnitude is probably best handled by a dedicated team, not just one lone, scruffy, and flea-infested stoat. If that's a burden that you wouldn't mind shouldering then by all means go ahead, but I would wish to suggest that such a project would take you away from your incisive and witty commentary on other more varied issues of the day here, something that would indeed be a loss to Free Republic :-)
( A Bikini Ping List 'should' also include miniskirts, in my view :-))
GREAT pictures, thank you for posting :-)
Bodacious!
I think that your excellent photo highlights, among other things, the resourceful nature not only of bikinis but the wearers thereof. The islamofascists don’t stand a chance when we have frontline soldiers who are so clever and inventive as this :-)
