Teeny Weeny Micro Bikinis


I absolutely love the fit of Malibu Strings bikinis! I have the worse time finding a perfect fitting bikini set since so many retailers size up to accommodate the sizing pattern of our nation. Basically what happens is that an XS turns into a Small and nothing fits how it should.

A few weeks ago I ordered a bikini set from Malibu Strings in size small after getting a good response from their customer service when I ask if a small would be appropriate for my body. I FINALLY got the bikini set in after patiently waiting for it, but it's not like I'm in any particular rush...I just hate waiting.

I'm really happy with it and now I'm thinking of getting a neon set too! Too bad I won't get to use the Winter Sale discount : (

Thank You Malibu Strings Winter Sale!


Do you know what's the worst part of online shopping? The wait. I'm not a very patient person and I love instant gratification...

It took me a while but I finally made my Malibu Strings bikini purchase! A girl loves selection, but damn if you give her that many she's either going to be there all day or have to get them all. And I would have no problem making multiple purchases from Malibu Strings if I somehow found myself in the care of a wealthy provider...but I hate asking for things. I want, I get now. And I get what I want.

Malibu Strings has so many styles and colors that I want including neon, liquid metal, and baby pink. Even all of them look great on the models, I had to pick one that I knew I would love wearing. I ended up conflicted between the bronze "Gold Mine" and black and gold "Crocodile Beach." Unless I had a tan, the bronze wasn't really going to look amazing against my skin, so I went with the Crocodile Beach since I also love how the model paired it with rhinestone heels. I will get me some rhinestone heels too.

After finally deciding on a pattern, I had to pick which bikini style! The decision making never ends! Since I originally searched for a bikini retailer that sold scrunchie bottoms, I had to get the Rio Srunchie Bottom ($52) they're known for. This bikini actually was special in that it had a cyrstal variation bikini top and bottom. So I got the Crystal Triangle Top ($39) and the Malibu Crystal String bikini bottom ($49) that the model also wears.

If you're going to wear blinged out heels, you need to compliment it with bling on the bikini. I got two bottoms since I knew that depending on where I'm going, some people might take too much ass as an offense. If I find myself in Miami, I will defintiely bring out the string bikini bottom. I would get arrested if I tried it here in Cali.

My bill ended up to be around $130 (I wasn't fond of the extra California shipping charge...haters! What's up with that?? They're made in LA. Hello!!). I saved $28 because of the 20% off winter sale discount which definitely made this pruchase a lot easier to make. Even though I know it's pricey to get 3 pieces, I knew I wanted it and that I would wear it. I have to think of Vegas!

The Good Thing About Valentine's Day

While restaurants, hotels and airliners are taking full advantage of Valentine's Day to ring your hard won money out of your wallets, some places are playing nice and giving discounts instead! The one I'm most happy about is Malibu Strings!!

In the past I've always bought my swimwear on sale. Always. So in comparison, paying full retail for Malibu Strings makes me cringe a little bit. That's why their 20% off discount until February 14th is such a great deal!!

Too bad I'm super indecisive. It's going to take forever to pick which color. I might end up just getting black, even though I really want a bronze or pink one. Help!!

My Hot Pink Obsession


I'm not usually a big fan of pink or hot pink, but in the last two months I've been wanting to wear all shades of pink. It started with bikinis I found on Malibu Strings, and now it's trickeled its way down to exotic footwear.


I realize that hot pink might not appeal to guys in general, but it makes me really happy.

Bikini + Rhinestone Encrusted Heels = My Summer Uniform


I was thinking about my heel collection yesterday, and I came to the conclusion that it's very boring and uber conservative. There is a definite trend. Almost everything is black and has a peep-toe. My two requirements for shoes apparently.

I've decided that I haven't been doing my tiny feet any justice. In addition to buying some new pole dancing shoes, I need to get another pair that I can wear with a bikini when I'm tanning. I love the ones that the Malibu Strings model is wearing...but since Malibu Strings is only in the business of bikinis I have no idea where to find those heels. The ones below I found on LiquidDreams.com, but I don't know the brand.



Ellie Shoes also paired some heels with a bikini in their catalog. I found this picture that comes close to it. The heel is more simple than the one worn by the model above, but they're still really cute.




I'm trying to figure out when I started to realize that heels and bikinis make sense. If you haven't yet, one day you will. See you poolside! I'll be the one having tanning oils massaged into my back.

Sexy Swimwear: The Micro Bikini & Scrunch Butt


Sometimes I wonder if I should be living in Malibu or Brazil when I go swimwear shopping. I find that most mainstream swimwear is too conservative and covers too much skin. My petite size could possibly contribute to this bias. Since I have tiny curves, I need tiny swimwear to accentuate my barely-there curves. I demand people to acknowledge that I have curves too!

I already know that no amount of in-store shopping will successfully lead to me finding a bikini up to my standards. This is where the world of online shopping comes to the rescue. If you're willing to pay more for your bikini, I have found some great sites that sell micro bikinis and the new and trendy scrunch butt bikini bottom in different styles, colors and sizes that has become really popular in SoCal and LA.


These micro bikinis are not for everyone. I have to admit that most of them are too extreme for me to even think of trying on. Plus micro bikinis on really busty women make them look like body builders. If you're busty, try a revealing monokini instead like the one from Flirt Catalog shown above (it has a scrunch butt!).


The scrunch butt bikini bottom comes in different shapes now. You could get one that covers your bottom entirely or one that is a border-line thong. I suggest to get one that reveals more skin, since scrunch butt bikini bottoms could look like wedgies if done wrong. Scrunch butt bikinis are my new favorites because it creates a contour of one of your best assets. Plus it gets rid of that weird air pocket between your butt cheeks you get when you wear a regular bikini. When you get in and out of the water, the bikini still holds it shape unlike the regular bikini you buy in stores.


The two online sources I like are www.chynnadolls.com and www.malibustrings.com. I have my eye on a bubble-gum pink micro bikini and scrunch boy short. But there's this brown sequin micro bikini that just screams Vegas baby to me! Even though summer days are months away from now, it's not too early to start thinking of getting yourself a new swimwear set that compliments your body type. Plus it gives you a reason to pass up that yummy looking donut!
