See Ya, Bikinis! One-piece Swimsuits Poised for a Takeover (Bikinis out of style???)
Yahoo ^ | 1/5/2013 | Yahoo

Dieting and exercising are perhaps the most popular New Years Resolutions, but don't worry if you've indulged on a few too many holiday treats this year. Swimsuits are already trickling onto retail shelves and the spotlight is on one-piece swimwear, not bikinis. Yes, that extra inch to pinch around your tummy can potentially remain hidden all year.


Every stylish celebrity from the curvier gals like Beyonce, Christina Hendricks, and Kim Kardashian, to the skinny-minnies like Taylor Swift, Kate Moss, and Kirsten Dunst are rocking one-piece bathing suits, or "maillots." As a result, the rest of us are heading directly to department stores, boutiques, and affordable mass-market shops to scoop up similar styles. The New York Post found that one-piece swimsuit sales are up around 20 percent in local New York shops.

I think it's about who's wearing them.

I couldn't agree more.

Thongs of course are unacceptable...Having one’s entire bare derriere catching the sun and breeze.

Stick any one of those fat chicks a$$es on Kim Kardashian and that's what you have. Still not getting why Kardashian would want the ass of a fat woman on her body?

I dunno still one piece suits just seem like stuff old lady’s would wear. Even when they have Miss Universe pageants and they have a 1 piece it is sort of a turn off. The bikini is wear it’s at.

Even though they are teens it just seems like they are wearing old lady swimsuits.

Miss USA 2010 (Virginia) The bikini just seems more natural and not like something from the turn of the century... 1900s not early 2000s haha.

See this? It costs almost $100. I understand bikinis can cost near ten times that, in some places. I have a hard time thinking that something only slightly larger than a hanky or two and some string is worth that kind of money.

What is that?

It’s hard to think someone would wear those things about in the open.

Think they’re real?

There may be some who want the one-piece swimsuit, but the bikini will never go away .... :-)

That style is engineered to hide “muffin tops”, which is the case with many out-of-shape women these days.

Are you sure it’s not the late Anna Nichole Smith when she was fat? Looks like her to a t and that’s not saying much.

I hope so. It will make buying a one piece easier and there will be more styles.

It's the tropical African influence in our culture.

Blacks and black based Latinos like big asses because they are common in the DNA of their women.

Now they ply the same craving to the few normal looking white women who have huge asses..Lopez and Kardashian and Ice-T’s wife come to mind first

and most whites as usual are afraid to disagree or be calle racist

i do not like a big ass..it is not appealing to me and was not the ideal when I grew up in the 60s and 70s back when women even if pastier were on the whole considerably leaner than today

Jessica Biel Butt

anonymous nice arse

nice boudoir bum bum

now check out lopez butt

or Kardashian

or Coco

I mean really...who do folks think they are kidding....this is the new Emperors New Clothes..."like wow...yes...her cheesy splayed ass looks so good"...not in my world

Exactly right. Your examples of what looks good are spot on. The J-Lo pic to me is that she is otherwise in decent shape EXCEPT for that ass. Again it looks like they stuck on a 300# chicks ass on J-Los body. Who in the world likes that or would prefer that over the examples you posted? That Coco woman just looks like a sloppy fat chick all over sort of like a female bear. No thank you...

Actually my last post I mean Kardashian as the J-Lo pic of yours wasnt working but I’d bet my point about her would still ring true.
