“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.

As you know, I love to go fishing. Being on the water with the fresh air is the best. I especially love fishing in Louisiana because there are not a lot of people around. (Compared to my Florida experiences.)

Our fishing camp is in the marsh. It was our first time staying there since before Hurricane Katrina.
It was strange coming back, because while our camp was restored to working order, Thanks Billy!!! – Everything was also different. Our fishing spots we would always hit, no longer existed. Even canals we would take out to the beaches are completely gone. Needless to say, it will be a learning curve to get back to the level of fishing we were at, pre-Katrina.

But, you have to start somewhere. And our first official day back on the water – was a day, not about the fish (though we did manage to catch some….) rather, it was a Day of the Dolphins.

If you like to fish, then you already know that when dolphins are around, you will not have success catching fish. They scare them off. And while I LOVE to see dolphins in Florida, I HATE to see them in Louisiana. It seemed like they chased us around all day. For about 45 minutes, they were swimming with our boat as we were going. Must have been 10 or 12 of them, on either side, splashing and playing. It was pretty incredible. Quite a show. I have never seen anything like it before.

I have a great video of this which I will see about posting. Unfortunately, it is over a minute in length, and I worry my internet connection will not stay up long enough to load it. Needless to say, I WILL eventually put it up.

In the meantime, I will leave you with a few picture instead (from our last day of fishing).

Billy hamming it up for the camera!

The only redfish I caught this week. My favorite though! Yum, yum!

Also caught a crab. Of course I let him go, but I had to take a photo first. He is so cute!!

I will work on uploading that video too.

Summers here and most of us have shed those few extra pounds to look good in a bikini and have had the chance to get a great tan going but what can make all of that go to waste? A bad hair day! Well todays hair tip is how to keep your color from fading. So if you remenber these few key elements you and you hair color will shine brightly all year round.

Remember to always wait 24-48 hours without washing your hair before you go in for your hair appointment. The natural oils that build up in your hair allow for the color to have a better grip. Do not wash your hair for another 24-48 hours afterwards. Remember that using hot water, strips the hair of it’s color faster. Even warm water is better than hot water. Use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner, from a salon! It really makes a difference! Use a heat protector if you blow dry or flat iron your hair.
Also keep in mind that if you will be in the water a lot this summer, I would recommend wetting your hair before you get into the chlorine or salt water. And excess sun exposure can lighten your color as well. I know us beach beauties have a hard time staying out of the sun, so maybe you go a shade lighter then you normally go. A change is always nice no matter who it’s on!

Days are passing quickly and our next big Adventure is in the Cayman Islands.
We are going to capture some beautiful sights!

This photoshoot will definitely differ from those we’ve done in the past. Not only because of the breathtaking surroundings but also because of the scene that will be created around the gorgeous models we’ve chosen. Our determination and hard work will be well worth it! The excitement of our progress thus far will be expressed not only here through our blogs but also in the photos that are captured.

It has taken alot of planning and focus to get thus far, and upon our return will launch some more of our new spring colors.
Be on the look out for some new faces, and hopefully the introduction of our “Sirens!”
You’ll have to stay tuned for all of these updates!

So I go out to Homosassa to go boating, and I must say I had a great time! The water was soooo crystal clear, and a friend of mine even swam with the manatees, and got some really great underwater pics. I took all my TeenyB bikinis and one of my “no name” but cute green bikinis all with me. So a total of 4 TeenyB’s. A mesh leopard bikini, a White and Ginger Crossroads bikini and my Planet w/ White Vegas Nights bikini. Not knowing anyone else that we were boating with and based on a mass vote of which bikini everyone ELSE thought I should wear… I wore the no name bikini. Now you would think that would be b/c it was cuter then the other ones based on the outcome of there decision. But no, it was b/c the white one becomes sheer when wet, the mesh one is see through and the Vegas Nights b/c of its sophitication and grace, I’m assuming they thought was too much, or simply knowing I would be the best dressed there! Anyways, here we were in the middle of the Homosassa springs with families…. and red necks! The entire time this bikini kept riding up my ass, looking “baggy when wet”! There was so much hanging fabric in the back. This wasn’t because it didn’t fit, because it did. It was simply the style and the way it was cut. I can tell you this, seriously, I missed my Teeny Bikinis. For there comfort, fit and appeal. I should have worn the Vegas nights and not been afraid to show off in front of the red necks! LOL Now don’t get me wrong they were nice, but they already thought I was “High Maintenance”. Why do people always say that like it’s a bad thing?? HeHe

Well I am proud to announce, the TeenyB staff has finally decided on their launching styles for Fall. Whether or not we will be able to launch in Fall is another question, but not one we are worrying about too much.
We have made lots of progress in the past months, and are looking forward to good things in the new year.
Namely the fun stuff which includes, lots of photo shoots with models in bikinis. Swimwear modeling and photography (IMO) is the most fascinating type of photography. Perhaps I am partial because I like the human element that is added with a model, and prefer to work with women over men. Especially if they are wearing Teeny Bikini’s!!

We design our bikini’s FOR women to wear.

Here is a quick photo of a great friend and model. We are checking out the local scenery to scout for some nice photo spots. The weather wasn’t the greatest, but luckily we didn’t have to go far on the boat.

Melissa is modeling our Butterfly Top in a Limited Edition Anchor Print fabric. Personally I think she looks stunning in this style. But knowing this girl, she can wear anything and look fantastic. What do you think???

To say, things have been busy lately is an understatement. I am excited and giddy, stressed and motivated all at the same time.

First off let me say, this is going to be a great Summer. We are officially taking out the boat this weekend, for her first Teeny Bikini Voyage.  Always fun to break it in the right way. Will be sure to take tons of pictures. I am looking forward to flying on the tubes and kneeboarding too!

I am debating about wakeboarding, I really want to do it, but it would be a first for me, so I need to find someone who actually can teach me. Hahah…

 More to come.
