“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution” – William A. Foster

I have just finished working on a sample bikini. What can I say, sometimes I tend to get ahead of myself….
This is a “Saint’s themed” bikini juuuusst on the hope they will STOMP the Vikings next Sunday.

I started working on a sample involving our Shortie Bottom and putting some Swarovski Crystals on it. It is something that I have thought about for a long time – putting the crystals on it, just in the right places to accent the ruching…but haven’t had the time.

I ultimately envision this on the Shirred Skirt with Panty, matched with the Knotted Top, but the Shortie has the same ruching effect that will be perfect to test out.

I also plan to make a few samples with a sexy Fleur De Lis on the butt… Of course I will take photos!

This is not my first time gluing crystals to things. Remember those phones that were so popular like 7 years ago…that had different designs. I had fun making a few of those. Just for myself though – it took WAY too much time to try and do that for other people, unless it was a gift to a close friend.

Once I am totally happy with the crystal pattern and design, I will start making a few skirts in my favorite colors. I have matching crystals to each color fabric. These, I DO plan on selling. They will be exclusive to TeenyB.com (as always) and very limited in edition because they are so time consuming to make by hand….but if you want to be the sexiest girl at the pool, or on the yacht – it will SO be worth the extra money.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season. I feel like I have done this like a dozen times already, but it can’t hurt to do it again right?

The Holiday’s are always such a mixture of stress and pleasure. They take up much of our time, attention, money and focus they feel like they never end.
I got back from a cruise thru the Caribbean just yesterday. It was over Christmas which meant that we celebrated on land with the kids and family early. What was really nice about the cruise (besides getting to spend a lot of time with the family, playing with our niece and nephews) was the warm weather. Being able to wear shirts, tank tops and bikinis is always going to put a smile on my face!

My holiday’s are not over just yet. We still have to go and visit my family out in California. It will be a stark difference from the warm weather of the Caribbean. They live up in the mountains at Lake Tahoe and there will be plenty of snow. I will NOT be putting on a bikini there, I promise you!

(I have always wanted to do a photo shoot with girls in the snow though. Wearing big fluffy boots and earmuffs, and a sexy bikini!!)

Just dropping a quick note – hope you are continuing to have a wonderful holiday season.
Is there anything special you are looking forward to in the New Year?
(I plan on addressing this question in a lot more detail with regards to TeenyB soon)

Are you making any New Year’s Resolutions this year?

Leaving you with one bikini photo with my mother-in-law, my nephew – Matthew and myself. It’s small, but hopefully will warm you up a bit!

I am always excited to see new people ordering our bikinis. It is amazing the scope and reach of the internet.

I was particularly excited about Tracy, when we spoke and she explained she was looking to do a bikini competition and wanted a suit. We went over sizing together and shipped her some various pieces. In the end, she chose a very sophisticated looking, sweetheart top bikini in black. It is from our Vegas Nights Collection.

Tracy’s bikini competition was in Sacramento, CA. That is my hometown. I live all the way on the other side of the country now, but it still seemed really special that I was shipping it to where my parents live.

Probably a little too much information but….. its the Holidays – we are all thinking about our family lately.

Here is a quick comment from Tracy and a few photos from her show. We wish her the best of luck in all future events and think she looks absolutely phenomenal!

[Tracy] – I LOVED the suit and it was soooo comfy!

Ready for Christmas???
Do you still have some last minute shopping to do???

Well, I must admit, every time we receive a new shipment of products in to the TeenyB warehouse, it feels like Christmas for us. The newest shipment includes, ALL solid colors of our newest Bottom Style called “The Shortie.”

What makes this style so special is the front fits like a low rise bikini bottom, while the bottom rocks as a super cheeky boy short. It truly IS the best of both worlds!
You can purchase our Style #440 – Shortie in Classic Separates Department and the B.Luxe – Downtown Department. Make it one step easier – SHOP BY STYLE!

And while your at our site, be sure to take full advantage of our FREE GROUND SHIPPING OFFER on orders over $250!

Merry Christmas Everyone.

We are busy these days. Very busy!

In a good way of course, we are nearing the part of the Season where we are gearing up for next year, choosing colors, projecting which direction we want to go, where we have to further develop….

But it’s more than that. With each great idea comes a variety of foundations you must first build in order to have the ideas work. In every company there are people who think, and project a direction; and then there are people that DO it.
I believe they are dependent on each other because many people who can do, simply do not have the vision to create.
Most creative people I know, do not have the follow-thru to see their ideas come to fruition.

In an ideal world, you have a few thinkers and many doers. But in a small company – the more doers, the more money.
I have had some friends who can really rally people to invest in their projects. They are great at selling an idea, and even greater and spending the money which is invested in them. Many times though – money is spent, because the money is there. I have yet to see a big break thru on their part – other than having a large dream and squandering a great investment.

I wonder… if I had every person and necessary equipment at my demand, would I really be able to get any further and faster with this company. Would I finally be able to accomplish ALL of the ideas I have??? Or would it simply be too much, and built on too thin of a foundation to sustain long term?

We always take a great interest in our customers who participate in Bikini Fitness Competitions, Body Building Competitions, and just Bikini Contests!!

When given enough time, we are more than happy to make special customizations for you, add special trims, or color combinations.

Recently, Keva – Who earned her Pro Card on her last competition, competed again!

She was kind enough to e-mail us an update and some photos. Hope you enjoy.

[Keva]
I just wanted to give you another update on my contest progress and the fabulous suit you made for me. I entered the National Bodybuilding Championships on November 20-21th in Hollywood, FL. I came in second place! The black suit once again was a huge hit and was complemented on by many of my fellow competitors.

I wanted to thank you again for making this beautiful suit. It has brought me lots of luck and made me feel beautiful!

These photos were taken at the Muscular Development Fitness/Bikini Contest. You can view all of the contest images at the following link:

We look forward to meeting Keva in person in the New Year and doing a photo shoot with her!! We will be sure to post the photos!

Wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

For those of you who will be traveling or staying home. Cooking or just eating. We are very grateful this year for many things. We have grown a lot as a company, and know we have plenty more to do.

There are many things on the horizon for us, and we look forward to really breaking thru next year.

We will be introducing many new things to the TeenyB Brand including a panty line, cover-up skirts and dresses. The newest colors for the spring and many Apps, Videos and other fun Wallpapers and such.

Have a great and safe weekend, and we look forward to a productive Holiday Season.

Happy Thanksgiving, from the TeenyB Staff.

Sigh – I have been slacking lately. Not in all areas, but mainly in Photo Editing.

Getting back into the swing of shooting has been very fun. Have shot close to 8 girls now, and really met some great people…but only half the work is done. I sort the photos, then never get around to editing them.

My next task for the coming days (besides enjoying some Turkey on Thursday, of course) will be editing all of these test shoots I have been doing. I am sure the girls will be happy to finally get their samples and of course I will be able to post them on the TeenyBikiniGirls website as well.

Wow, November is here! We hope you all had a great Halloween if you do anything special. For many of you, you may have already been feeling the Fall weather. For us in Florida, this is the first week it has actually been cool. It was crazy for a while because it felt like it was the middle of August. I love the heat, but its the humidity that really kills me. This year has flown by!!

You may have noticed that our offices are closed this week (Nov. 2 – 9th)
After a long and productive season we have taken a week off for vacation and lounging.

But there is no rest for the wicked.

Our trip to New York was fun and successful. Picked up a lot of great new fun printed fabric. Will be working on getting them made up so we can shot them for the storefront.

Our backyard is finally in working order….well, for now anyway. Our pool has been resurfaced, our landscaping and such is complete. Just a few minor additions like furniture and props, but that will always be a work in progress.

We are booking for test shoots for November and December so if you are interested, (even if you HAVE already sent in a model request) send another. We have a lot of new bikinis we are anxious to get on girls. We also have a couple new cover-up skirts too! We are eager to get them on too.
Our panties line has hit a minor snag – but we are still trying to move forward with that as best we can.

Needless to say, we are happy to be relaxing away from the offices this week, but by no means are taking a break from work!

It won’t be for long, just the rest of this month. We will be resuming our shooting schedule starting the 2nd week of November.

We have decided, since we are knee deep in our yard renovations (and I know we have some trips coming up…) we might as well get the pool resurfaced too! It seems like, once you do one thing – you look around the yard and realize you need to do another. It never ends.

But still in good spirits. Like mentioned before, we have a bunch of trips coming up in October anyway, including a NYC trip which I am always excited about!! Get to go to the fashion district and go shopping for fabrics, trims and anything else that looks like fun!!

Halloween is a really fun time in the Tampa area too! People love to dress up, go out and have a fun night. Normally we throw big parties for Halloween, but since we will be in NYC the week before, we have decided to just go out to a club. Not a normal club, a Russian club! They are always the most entertaining for big events like this!

Not positive I will be posting pictures from this event, even though I will have friends and model-friends coming…a girls’ gotta have a FEW things to herself right?

Leaving you with a few photos we most recently shot…before we closed our “set” for the end of the month! Hope you enjoy!!!

The models name is Adrianna and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to booking her again soon!

Adrianna shows off her own personal style by pairing her Peacock Print w.Mora Triangle Top (from B.Couture) with a solid Brazillian Bottom in Turandot. (B.Luxe with Swarovski Crystal Squares) (This bottom is not available for direct purchase online, so if you are interested in purchasing this Brazilian Cut Solid, please email with your inquiry.)

Ever notice when things just all come together. They give you a serge of energy, of excitement. It makes you want to just hit the ground running! I love that! It is the best natural adrenaline ever!

Do you believe in luck?

I think luck is preparedness meeting opportunity.

Sure, there are forms of luck, but they are unreliable. It is more important to keep a look out for opportunities and to create your own luck. So what have you done today to create some luck lately??

Well it may have been a long time coming, but we are proud to finally direct your attention to our favorite part of TeenyB. The Models and the Photo Shoots!

While we are still making small tweaks to the pages, come and visit our MODELS page on the TeenyB.com website. We are introducing new models from our last Catalog Shoot in Grand Cayman.

Our newest models added will be at the top of the page – but make sure to check out some of the older ones too as we have added new content to their pages as well. (Melissa for example!)

I would like to put a special spotlight on a sexy Siren, Lindsay. Not only is she a fun loving person, sweet, smart and beautiful, she also recently celebrated a birthday which we were lucky enough to attend! We have no doubt Lindsay will continue to get better with age, and wish her a great year to come.

One of my favorite sets on her page – be sure to check out all of her photos.

Oh, and don’t forget, Lindsay also has her own video too!!! If you would like to see it in a larger format, just visit our YouTube Page and choose your screen size.

It has been a productive, busy and exciting week.
Stretched in various directions with TeenyB, now that the Summer is over, we ramp up other stages of our business, and this is always an exciting time.

Being a small company still – we do not always have a staff working on every department. We have to work on a cycle, allotting only a few short months to some departments. This will not always be the case, but for now – it is our only option.

As Fall is approaching, we are diverting our attention to more creative aspects of the job: Photography, Design and Planning.

Before I started this company, I was a photographer only. Working several days a week doing various shoots, I was really able to expand and explore. Just like muscles, if you do not work them out, they will grow weaker. I am excited to really gear up our shooting, but I realize that first – I need to “work out my muscles.”

It is not always an easy task….to step back and look at a bigger picture. To gain a creative perspective of what next and exciting things we can showcase on the bikini front – creation is merely a reflection of what your are absorbed in at that time. Peoples “inspiration” can only reach as far as they are looking. This may seem too irrelevant and blah to make sense to you – but as I type it – it is clear to me…and at the end of the day – this blog is my outlet.

It is hard to believe that we are going on 3+ years of developing TeenyB from a mere idea into a business. One thing I have been really missing lately is a mentor. Someone that I can learn from and look up to. I have been working diligently, reading books, learning by mistakes and just trying new things…all of which are great and have much success, but it is not always enough. I am really craving an opportunity to learn and watch from other people. Being the “owner of the company” people look to you for the answers, and the fact of the matter is – I do not always have them. I am a leader, yes. I know what I want and envision, yes. But sometimes, it is good to realize just how small you are, and just how little you know. (I know this is true, inherently – that I have so so much to learn…but when you are not around people who can teach you on a regular basis, you tend to become focused on what you do know – and only that.) Back to the POINT of this post.

This week – I finally get a chance to play with my photographer friend, Bobby Turi. He is the best. I love working with him, and I know he feels the same about me. We challenge each other, and amazingly don’t seem to step on each other’s toes either….much.

But this week, and maybe even the next few weeks will not be filled with JUST bikini photography. No – while it is necessary for us to shoot bikini stuff – it cannot be my only source of creativity. I have to expand further, to really fall back into my creative flow.

Our model is here today getting ready. Bobby and I are setting up the lights. We are very excited to flex our muscles today!

On a pathetic note, I do not even have a picture to post of us together – because we are always behind the camera. A shame – but something we will have to work on.

You have seen our newest video of Aspen, now it is time for you to take with with you on the go!
Just uploaded today, get the Aspen video for your iPhone and iTouch so you can watch here wherever you go.

(To Download this video, locate her link on the left hand side of this blog)

Some of you may recognize Aspen. She has been popping up all over lately. Most recently I spotted her in the E! channel, doing a television program about Miami’s Hottest Jobs. I am always proud to see our models working hard and making it big, but I was very thrilled to see her on TV wearing one of our very own suits!! A favorite color of ours, B.Luxe Downtown in Lizard! While there was no mention of TeenyB on the program, we are just thrilled that Aspen loves her suits so much she wears them around town!! And why wouldn’t she, she looks phenominal in them.

Another favorite of ours is B.Couture Uptown in Lolita.

Here are a few photos for your enjoyment!

September is finally upon us. The Summer has flown by so fast, it seems like yesterday we were hunting for models for our Cayman shoot.

And now as the Fall soon approaches, it is time to focus on another aspect of this growing company. One of my favorite parts, design!

I have scheduled my design days, they are in the books! There is no turning back. Already know what new creations we will be doing too.
Panties are a definite must, and a couple cover ups are on the list too. I am tired of seeing girls look so sexy in their TeenyB Bikinis, and then they get dressed to leave, and totally ruin the whole look!

Before I start sewing though, there is one more thing I HAVE to do first….and that is to break in the new TeenyB house by shooting a model.

I can’t believe it has been in shooting condition for almost a month, and I have not even gotten a chance to shoot it.
Assuming the weather will hold out on me, I will do it tomorrow morning. Very excited!

I am sure you are wondering who the lucky model is that will help break in the new place with me. I am so excited because (while I have seen Leah many times, at our parties, and around town locally) I have not had the privilege of shooting her since our Key Largo shoot. Needless to say, it has been too long!!!
Do you recognize her from the first photo??

Don’t worry, I will not play this game too long with you. We have much more important things to do. The model is Leah, (if you didn’t recognize her already on her Model Page at TeenyB.com I really loved working with Leah because she had the best attitude. Very sweet, a great model and was a great help too, even when she wasn’t working. I remember we had brought the Rock Band Game with us to play while we were taking breaks and hanging out, and she did a good job playing the drums and the guitar! Guess we will have to try and get her to sing soon!

As you can see, Leah is beautiful, and she always makes the suits look so hot! Since we shot her last, we have made so many new products, it will be a lot of fun putting her in them and seeing her reaction. I will leave you with one more photo….a personal favorite! Hope you enjoy!

Today is such an exciting day. We are very pleased to show you the newest addition to our HD video collection.

The model is Aspen. Aspen is a Siren* (Yes I will talk about this Siren Subject soon…but now is not the time!)
I cannot say enough sweet things about this girl. I am excited to see what her future will hold because I know she will go very far!

Check out her video below!!!

If you love this video, be sure to check back soon because we will be posting the iPhone version of it, so you can take it wherever you go with the same HD quality, you know and love!

When we did a lot of this video shooting on the beach, we managed to snag a few ‘Behind the Scenes’ shots of Aspen too.
*Now keep in mind, it is not with the big camera, but I feel they really capture what makes Aspen so great! Her fun spirit and “Joie de Vivre,” so I am also including a few extra exclusive photos. I hope you enjoy!

This last shot is one of my favorites because it was totally taken on the spot with a little point and shoot camera.
It was so bright outside we really could not see that well, we just tried to time it. We got it in two takes I think.

Just wishing a special girl a very Happy Birthday.

We hope that she has had a wonderful day and look forward to shooting this local girl again soon!

Valerie was a real treat to work with in Grand Cayman, and her pictures show her true beauty. But our favorite part about this stunning model is that, she has the brains to back it up. In between outfits, she would busy herself with brain teasers and word games! What is not to love about this double threat beauty!

Happy Birthday Valerie

Sitting in my condo, being lazy today.

The weather is typical Summer. Hot, or rainy. Or both.

I don’t know about you, but if I stay in my house too long, I start to feel lethargic. So I decided to keep myself busy and start editing some pics from Cayman. Ha, a big undertaking that I keep pushing to the side because I do not know where to begin. Pulled a few photos from a set taken on one of our first days.

The model is Rachel – she is such a cutie pie. Her personality is just as great as her look. Rachel also does make-up and was are artist during the weeklong shoot. No wonder she is always looking gorgeous. Hope you enjoy.

While these photos are not available to view online, they will be in the coming month. Please make sure to check our TeenyB Models page to see all of our newest models and their photo galleries!!
