Why do they call bikinis bikinis?

History Of The Bikini Where Did The Bikini Come From and How DidIt Get Its Name Louis Reard (ray-YARD) had this problem. Hehad designed Something that would stir t…he masses. ut he needed aname for it, something exotic, bold, and eye opening. Four daysbefore he was to show the world his new bikini in Paris , the U.S.Military provided him with a name. They exploded a nuclear devicenear several small islands in the Pacific known as the "BikiniAtoll". On July 5th, 1945, he unveiled the bikini. all though hewould later claim he named the bikini after the islands and not theatomic blast, he was clearly taking advantage of a "hot topic".Another Frenchmen, Jacques Heim, had created his own two piecebathing suit, which he called "The Atome", and he described it as"The world's smallest bathing suit. Reard called his "Smaller thanthe world's smallest bathing suit." Reard's "bikini" was so small, in fact, that no Parisian models atthe time would wear it on the runway. He hired MichelineBernardini, who had no qualms about strolling around in a bikini,seeing as her day job was a nude dancer at the Casino de Paris.Bernardini was not what you'd a classic beauty, but after photos ofher in a reclining pose hit the press, she was swamped with fanmail, close to 50,000 letters. Two piece suits weren't new. As part ofwartime rationing, the U.S. Government, in 1943, ordered a 10percent reduction in the fabric used in woman's swimwear. Off wentthe skirt panel, and out came the bare midriff. At beaches acrossthe country, men paid special attention to women doing theirpatriotic duty. But Reard pushed the envelope. He shrunk his suitdown to 30 inches of fabric - basically a bra top and two invertedtriangles of cloth connected by string - and put the navel oncenter stage. The world took notice. In Catholic countries -Spain , Portugal , and Italy - The bikini was banned. Decencyleagues pressured Hollywood to keep it out of the movies. Onewriter said it's a "two piece bathing which reveals everythingabout a girl except for her Mothers maiden name." Movie star EstherWilliams who probably was seen in a two piece bathing suit by morepeople than anyone in the world, once said: "A bikini is athoughtless act". It's not clear whether she was talking aboutthe bikini or the thought of wearing one. Reard's firm did it'spart to fan the fantasies by proclaiming that a two piece wasn't abikini "unless it could pulled through a wedding ring." In the'50's Brigitte Bardot did wonders for business- But not in modestAmerica . Here it remained an invitation to scandal. As recently as1957, Modern Girl magazine sniffed, "It is hardly necessary towaste words over the so called bikini since it is inconceivablethat any girl with tact and decency would ever wear such a thing. By 1960 America was ready for new frontiers, including, it seemed,great expanses of bare flesh. That year pop singer Brian Hylandimmortalized the suit with his song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie WeenieYellow Polka Dot Bikini." Three years later "Beach Party", thefirst in a series of Annette Funicello / Frankie Avalon flicks witha recurring theme of women dancing in bikinis, hit the big screen. ( Full Answer )
