As if we weren’t busy enough…

We get approached a lot to participate in different events, but every once in a while, something catches our attention and we KNOW we have to get involved. This Friday, TeenyB will join forces with The Gentlemen’s Society benefiting the Children’s Dream Fund for a fun filled night of fashion extravaganza.

What better way to get a party started then with a bikini fashion show?

If you are local to the Tampa area and would like to support the Children’s Dream Fun, be sure to join us.

If you’d like to know more about the Event itself or The Gentlemen’s Society, be sure to check them out at their facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/TheGentlemensSocietyTampa

With an unseasonably warm Winter this year, we decided to get the Spring party started a little early. And what better time to fall in love with our newest bikini prints (& styles) than with 2 special bikini prints for Valentine’s day.

If you have always loved Valentine’s day, but are sick of the “traditional” old boring lingere gifts, step out of the box and get something you can enjoy BEYOND the bedroom! Trust me, your husband or boyfriend will like the idea he gets to enjoy seeing this sexy suit on you a LOT more often!!

Our red hearts print comes in a favorite, and Classic Triangle Top, as seen above.
It also comes in a brand new style. This Style #770 – or Demi Scrunch top is the first of 3 underwire bikini tops exclusively created by TeenyB for you! Our Demi Scrunch is a unique top that is sporty, snug and supportive all with minimal coverage and maximum style. This bikini top WILL make your boobs look a little smaller in size, it has a unique fitting shape that looks a little “old school 40′s” pin-up style. The more you scrunch the top together, the more your boobs will fill the lower cup. While it is not for everyone, it is a very sexy and stylish way to mix up your wardrobe. Samantha models this top below and looks terrific, try yours today and see what YOU think!

Our second print is an adorable Pink Polka Dots on a black suit, with Bubble Gum Pink binding. It is flirty, girly and fun.
Available in our Classic and Enhanced Cut Triangle Top with 3 bottom choices. Our #220 – Teeny Thong for the aggressive flirt, a #311 – Whaletail Thong for the sporty siren, and our #415 – Brazilian Half Pucker (Our most popular bottom bikini style) for a Demure Diva.

Wow, that went by really fast.

It is amazing how much time and effort goes into planning the catalog shoots, but how quickly they seem to go by.
It is no doubt that in the middle of it (long days, short nights) it feels like it is never going to end, but all the days seem to just blend together and the next thing you know it’s over.

It is always the few days after the shoots that really get to me. I am so focused on shooting, planning, organizing, etc. that I really have no time for anything else. I do not watch television, read any blogs or internet news stories, so when I try to assimilate myself back into regular life, I am out of the loop….to say the least.

Another interesting thing to note with regards to our photo shoots is the comradery it builds. Shooting on location in the same house makes it feel like a small reality show (for lack of a better description). Really it is like being on set shooting a movie. You are working with each other and being creative. Many times “acting” of sorts, or definitely stepping outside of yourself. And then of course you are eating dinner together, relaxing; basically spending every waking moment together. Over the course of the week, it becomes second nature. Knowing how close we will be working, I go to great lengths to always choose very particular people who we work with. While one bad apple will not necessarily spoil the bunch, it will definitely make a sour pie. But at the end of the week, when the work is done and the bags are once again packed up, one cannot feel a small twinge of sadness that it went by all so fast.

One of my favorite things to do post catalog shoot is go thru all of the behind the scenes photos. This is the stuff I really feel I miss out on, because I am so focused on work. I love going thru it day by day. Seeing the photo shoot in the eyes of someone else. I love seeing the smiles, the silly photos taken, and the memories built.

Thank you too everyone who participated in this years Catalog shoot, both models and staff alike. While it will not be the last, it certainly was a very memorable one.

And for those of you who think there is no possible way you could be a TeenyB model keep this in mind.

This year we had 2 BRAND NEW MODELS who have little to NO experience in front of the camera. Yep, we do not discriminate because you have no experience, we can spot potential from a mile away. So if you have always wanted to be a model, send in a photo, or submit a few you have taken to our Contributors section… you never know where it might lead you!!!

Emily (below) is one of our 2 beauties. Hard to believe she is a newbie huh?? Looking forward to shooting her again very soon.

A quick follow up to a link we posted earlier, for the Iron Man Magazine contest.

Angela Leong has WON! That means she will be gracing the cover of this awesome magazine very soon!! We are so excited for her, and cannot wait to make her an extra special bikini to rock!

If you’d like to follow Angela on Facebook, check out her page here!

We love to see our bikinis in magazines, who wouldn’t?

With fitness competitions in full swing, we are getting very busy making custom bikinis for girls around the country. A great customer and friend, Angela Leong has been kind enough to send us a link of a contest she is in.

Winner gets to grace the cover of Iron Man’s Magazine in this 2011 Hard Body Contest.

Vote for Angela if you want to see her rock a TeenyB!! In her photo, you will notice that she is wearing a very special TeenyB hand crafted by us to suit her personal needs. It’s an Oasis bikini in Hyeres with a FRONT PUCKER!! Yep, you might not ever see it on the site, but we DO make front puckers too!!!

To vote for Angela, follow the link (click on the photo below) and LIKE her on Facebook. It’s that easy.

Good luck Angela, we hope to see you on the cover!

In the past, I have always thought that more choices are better than few. I am a very decisive person. If I see something I like, I go after it. I do not second guess myself. But I am beginning to realize that people like me, MAY be on a short list.

At TeenyB, selling bikinis exclusively online can be very scary for most people. It is bad enough trying to find bikinis that fit properly (that is until they discover TeenyB) but then just buying it without ever touching it?!? We pride ourselves on our customer service. We are at your call, answering any questions about sizing, styles, even swatches of colors. We have an awesome samples program where you can put a deposit and receive a few sizes in a particular style so you can see which one fits best. And we have an excellent returns and exchanges program…but sometimes that is still not enough.

For the events we have held, I watch girls come in and try on 2 dozen bikinis not sure which one to take. I take it as a compliment because they obviously like the product, but it can be a time consuming thing. I remind myself though…most girls do not get the opportunity to see our entire line right in front of their eyes. They don’t get the opportunity to try on all of our styles, so they are taking advantage! And why not! Some girls may think they can never wear a Butterfly Top, but once they try it on, they fall in love with it.

Something special is happening the weekend after next and if you live in the Tampa FL area you should consider coming! TeenyB is participating as an exhibitor it it’s FIRST EVER bikini fitness competition. We will be live and in person with a booth to show anyone who is willing our styles IN PERSON! We have color swatches, trims and anything that will help you customize your own bikini!

Not only that, but we are having an EXCLUSIVE TRUNK SALE!

Yep, we said it, TRUNK SALE. That means SALE!!! TeenyB’s NEVER go on sale…except now. We have off the rack styles perfect for competition (NEVER SOLD ONLINE) and we have samples that are selling at a discounted rate. So save the date for October 1st!
More details to come.

What does we love about Nadia???

Let me count the ways….

She looks amazing in EVERY bikini you put on her.
She is funny, smart and sweet.
The list can go on and on…but why don’t you see for yourself.

Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel TeenyBBikinis so you can see the newest videos as they come out!!

Hope you enjoy.

Well if you love football, then last night was a very exciting night for you.

If you are a Saints fan (like me) then you were disappointed to start the season off with a loss, but I will not get into the details of why we did not prevail. What I am happy about is the fact that football is back in our lives! Finally, something good to watch on TV.

I know someone else who is happy…..

We are very proud of Jaime Baird for her consistent hard work and determination! We are so proud that she prefers to wear our bikinis on stage! We put just as much hard work with each of our hand crafted creations as she does on her body, making us a perfect combination!

There are many girls who contact us about getting a Custom Blinged suit for their competitions, but they are hesitant because it is a hefty expense. But it is important to realize, all of our bikinis are HAND CRAFTED, the design is created upon your request and personal needs, individually hand glued. They are all made with genuine Swarovski Crystals and come in a variety of sizes and colors. They should all be considered a work of art!

The smaller the crystals, the more they sparkle! It is tough to see the detail on each of our suits by a photo, in person is always the best and we are excited to announce we will shortly be setting up a booth at some of the popular fitness shows!

This will give many people a chance to see our product in person, touch them, try them on, see our color options and trims, and of course get a chance to see the OTHER bikinis we have blinged.

While the cats away…

That is not to say, no fun is had when I am around…but just because I am gone does not mean that work comes to a grinding halt!

If it weren’t for the incredible staff at TeenyB, we would be nothing!

Our main photographer, Bobby Turi is busy setting up test photo shoots as we speak. If you have always wanted to model for TeenyB, now is your chance. We are currently test shooting for some trips we will be making to the Bahamas in the Fall.

NOT!!!!

Just because the sun is not shinning, it certainly hasn’t stopped us from having fun. This is our first time here, and what a great city. Aside from the cloudy skies and sporadic rain showers, we are having a great time. And most importantly, we are happy to have the family all together again! 3 weeks with no Daddy is NOT a good thing.

While there is still lots to explore, we really enjoyed Granville Island Market and visiting the aquarium. They even have Beluga Whales!!!! I am sure it will not be the last time seeing a whale while exploring up here but, I will always remember my first time.

Speaking of first times, I was reflecting with Maria when we were in Lake Tahoe. The very first time I EVER wore a bikini was in Lake Tahoe. We had actually went by the same store where I purchased it. I remember wanting to wear a bikini so bad because all of my sisters were wearing them (they were all older, and had boobs)…as for me, I was still growing them, but it did not stop me. I had (what I would now come to know) as a bandeau top with wiring in the front to create the illusion of a bust! It wasn’t even particularly cute, but I insisted that I was wearing a bikini and NOT a one piece.

Ahhh..memories!
Looking forward to making more soon!

This past weekend I tried to by some cute sandals at a store. Can you believe it, they were not only TOTALLY out of stock, but they also were starting to get rid of Summer clothes all together. Is it really time for Fall?

One of the things I love about selling online exclusively is that we can update NEW PRODUCTS whenever we want them!

Just because the stores are switching seasons, doesn’t mean we have to follow suit. In fact, check out 2 sexy new prints we JUST updated on the website!!

Indian Prints and Ikot prints are very trendy right now, and why not rock this trend with a sexy bikini to really push the edge!!

Limited Edition Indian Tribal Print with Crocus:

and Limited Edition Indian Feather Print. This print is really cool because the top triangles are always in black and white, and the bottom is where the color comes in on the suit!

For those who have been patiently waiting to see the outcome of our Ditch the Diaper event at Caddy’s last month, you can go to the DitchtheDiaper.com website and check out the before and after photos now!! Even though the event is over, the Campaign is still in full swing! If you haven’t participated yet, this is a perfect time to enter! Remember, all accepted entrants receive a gift certificate just for participating, and of course a chance to win a $2,000 BIKINI MAKEOVER! So what are you waiting for???

We have a special video put together. Our host, and gorgeous model Valerie leads us through a maze of diaper wearing women who are ready to make the pledge to ditch just that!

See their stunning transformations into TeenyB’s!!!

Just finishing up pulling the last bikinis for this Saturday’s Ditch the Diaper event! It is amazing to realize how many bikini styles and colors we have. Sometimes it can even be overwhelming.

We are really excited about it. We are hoping that by the end of the day, every girl there will be wearing a TeenyB! And chances are, if that is the case, they will ALL have big smiles on their faces because they will be forever transformed!

I may be a little biased, but I have a hard time ever imagining myself wearing anything BUT a TeenyB Bikini!

If you live in the Tampa area and have always wanted a chance to see our product in person, or even get a bikini, you should drop by! All you have to do is participate in the event and you can be walking out with a brand new TeenyB bikini!!!

And if you want to check out more about Ditch the Diaper and our contest we are running all Summer long, then check out the website: www.DitchTheDiaper.com

Traveling back to Florida I browsed the magazine isle for something to read. It is no surprise that when I saw the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, I had to get it.

I knew that our bikinis would not be featured in the magazine, because I would have heard something about it….but that didn’t stop me from looking.

I find it interesting to see what bikinis they choose, where the market is going…. how I feel we stack up. One thing I have noticed about the past 3-4 years of seeing the Swimsuit issue is that they seem to be wearing less and less swimwear all together. I know it is tantalizing to show girls with only a bottom on, and it certainly can sell extra magazines but it makes me wonder, perhaps the bikinis they are choosing are just not that sexy.

Why get a magazine that is supposed to be a “swimsuit issue” and not showcase any swimsuits. Not to mention the dozen or so photos where the girls are simply body painted!!!! Don’t get me wrong, they are hot photos…. I feel in a way the editors at Sports Illustrated realize that having less is more. They are looking for itty bitty bikinis that hug the models curves and totally showcase their bodies… HELLO – that is what TeenyB is all about. Perhaps next year they will realize that they need to be putting their models in more of OUR suits!! That will really make the magazine fly off the shelf!

Another thing I look at while browsing the issue is the photography itself. Being an admirer of an art form that I personally love is always fun for me. I look at the awesome locations they get to shoot at and fantasize about being that big one day. I look at the accessories they use, and angles, lighting, etc. Perhaps I am biased, but I think our photos are just as awesome as theirs.
Mind you, having bombshells like Brooklyn Decker rocking your bikini certainly makes a photo more likable, our models are equally hot – and most importantly everyday people!

One of the things I love about some of our models is that they do not even model full time! THAT is very special!

In any case, Sports Illustrated makes most of their money on this one issue alone and that is an amazing thought.

While we were not featured in the magazine this year, we did get the opportunity to give our swimwear away in the gift bags for all the models that participated for the Sports Illustrated Shoot. Our suits may still be too hot for the printed issue itself, but I hope the models will love wearing our bikinis in their free time!

It always amazes me..for as short of a month that February is, it always seems to be our busiest.

Not in terms of sales…while there are people still buying bikinis for their vacations across the world, I mean behind the scenes. Our Catalog shoots are always something that require a lot of planning, and a lot of attention. This year was no different. But now, as we begin the first day of March we can look back and say – it was definitely all worth it!!!

On location shooting can always provide it’s wrinkles with small problems, hassles of bringing in equipment, models, accessories you name it…but it can also provide you with stunning backdrops that you just cannot get at home. Needless to say – it is a necessary evil to make sure our company continues to grow and succeed.

One of the great things about our catalog shoots is that I get to spend time with the crew and people that I love. It is important to have a job that you love, but to also enjoy the people you work with. It is nothing short of a working vacation…with a emphasis on working!!! But when we look back at it, the hard work doesn’t seem so tough after all, and you are left with the smiles and funny moments that shine throughout the trip.

Speaking of shine….I am most excited about our new products. We have a totally fresh palate of colors this year and it was really a joy to shoot. The models loved them, the photographers found new inspiration with them, and they matched the decor of the locations we shot at. (MORE TO COME ON THAT!!!)

All and all, as I sit down to review the work we have just completed, I will be reminiscing on the experiences and looking forward to the next big trip we take.
