Wow, this week really flew by fast.

We are busy getting ready for our Bahamas trip. (Even though we are still waiting on some of our new suits to come in) We are confident that we will be packed and ready in the few short weeks before we take off.

I always love checking in on our models and friends and see how things are going with them, and to my delight I see that Jaime Baird is working hard. But then again, she always is!! For just a couple years she has been in the Muscle & Fitness world and she is already taking over.

If you want to see a behind the scenes personal look at just how she does it, check out her blog!! Featured on Muscle & Fitness.com

We love Jaime, she not only is the sweetest beautiful woman on the block, but she also works super hard! That kind of dedication is a must if you want to make it in the Fitness world.

And speaking of fitness, have you checked out our TeenyB Fitness Line? See how we can make CUSTOMIZED suits for you!!!

Just recently we had the opportunity to bring our swimwear collection to television.

Not only was this special because it was our New Spring 2011 line, which hasn’t been seen ANYWHERE, but it was also our first time doing a live television spot. I have to admit, it was a little nerve racking. I certainly do not have a lot of experience in FRONT of the camera, but it is something that I will just have to get used to. Not only will I need to “get used to it” but I must learn to become excited at the thought of it!

Needless to say, the spot went well. My models looked fantastic (we had 4 of them, and they all looked tremendous in the new Spring colors and styles.) We also created quite a stir at the television studio. I never get tired of seeing people excited around the swimwear and models. The television host seemed at first a little nervous about the suits, saying they were quite small, but I could tell she liked them.

To me, when I see people a little nervous, but interested, it means that we have a product that is still fresh and new. Having a product (especially in a market like swimwear) it is very difficult to have something that IS new and makes people excitable. But we have just that.

Unfortunately, because the television spot was on live t.v., I do not have a recording of it yet..but I am working on it.

Let’s just hope it played out as well as I thought, when we go to review it.

Welcome everyone into the New Year. It is going to be a very exciting one for us and we are charging full steam ahead.

We will be gearing up to our Catalog shoot in the Bahamas and are looking forward to shooting some new girls, as well as some favorites.

One of the new models we are most excited about has another contest running, that we would like to inform you about. This is a great way to get you acquainted with the gorgeous Holly Bricken!!

She not only started out as a Customer of ours, but will soon be one of the featured models on our website.

Stop by the Status Fitness Magazine’s Facebook Fan Page and vote for Holly to be the Cover Model!!

You can see that Holly is already rocking HER TeenyB. She models an Oasis Bikini in Royal Shiny.
Holly is not only gorgeous but she is very sweet too! If she is not motivation to get your butt in bikini gear, then we do not know what WILL motivate you.

Good luck Holly on your contest, we hope you win!

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic holiday season. Merry Christmas to all.
This year, we are spending Christmas down south -in Barbados. It is our first trip to this Country and we are having a great time. I always enjoy visiting new Caribbean islands for two reasons:

#1. I love the sun and the sand (even though I seem to be getting less of it these days with a new kid on board)
#2. It keeps me in touch with new trends and styles of bikinis.

Barbados is really an English-heavy island. Sure some Americans visit, but this is mainly a British vacation destination. I can safely say that this island can seriously use a nice dose of TeenyB.

When packing my bags, I was going for more of our conservative styles (knowing this is an island that trends to the conservative) but I have seen a fair share of tiny bikinis.

The sad thing is they do not necessarily look like they are doing any justice to women’s figures. Our TeenyB slogan is “Less Fabrics, More Looks” but I see now that it is really only half of the battle.

What makes our bikinis so special is not that it is just Less fabric, but it is also CUT PERFECTLY to accentuate your body and a womanly curve! It truly makes me even more excited that we are completely re-shooting and re-launching our new B.Luxe (Micro Bikini Line) this spring- 2011. It is going to BLOW this island away……

Christmas is just around the corner. You can tell because everything seems to take twice as long to get done. And if you are going to the mall – forget about it!!!!

We are busy as always, finishing up the last test shoots for our Catalog shoot. All of the participants did a fantastic job, considering we have had a major cold spell in the area. It truly shows their professionalism and is definitely taken into account when making our decisions about who comes with us. Thank you to all the models who applied to our casting, and to those who were able to shoot with us!

While we like to have models who show off our bikinis well, and shoot strong, that is not the only thing we look for in a model. We need models who evoke the TeenyB brand and lifestyle. A certain type of girl who is strong, sexy and yet, approachable and easy going. We will not make any final decisions until January, but we can tell that it is going to be a difficult decision…we had a great crop of models this year!

I look forward to reviewing all of the photos and getting started!

In the meantime, enjoy the coming holidays and try to stay warm!

We are shooting test shoots for our Bahamas 2011 Catalog Shoot in the month of December.

If you have a Valid US Passport, No Tattoos and want to model for TeenyB, please follow the link and fill out the form to be considered.

All test shoots will receive a complimentary TeenyB bikini for their time.

Well we are finally recovered from the Who Dat Nation/TeenyB Pool Party a few weekends ago. It is easily agreed the party was a huge success.
Not only were we able to get a lot of new fresh faces to the party, but we had some old favorites as well. I envision this number to continue growing the more our company grows.

We were also able to introduce a few new bikini tops at this party. While we only offered one top in each size (in assorted colors) they went quickly. The lucky ones who came early were able to have full choice of all the bikinis offered. And since everyone gets to keep their bikinis, a few lucky girls have the VERY FIRST of these styles ever!!!

We will have plenty of photos to show off the new tops in due time – when we start shooting our Spring 2011 catalog, but until then, you will just have to get your fill at our Facebook Fan Page – TeenyBBikinis

I will leave you with one photo…

The rest you will have to check out on our Facebook Fan Page – and I promise there are a LOT more bikinis in them.

Most recently there was a huge fitness/bikini/body building competition in Las Vegas called The Olympia. Girls spend many months preparing all season to attend this event and it is getting bigger each year.

We were specially excited because we had a few girls wearing our bikini for the competition and of course wanted to see them do well! Not only that, but they were wearing some CUSTOM made Crystalized bikinis (something of which we only offer on a private basis.)

A special congratulations to Jaime Baird for taking 4th place in the Bikini Overall! This was her first time at Olympia and she did fantastic! A photo below, courtesy of RX Muscle.com shows her on stage.

To view all of the contestants photos, visit RX Muscle.com/Contests

Also in the contest and placed 6th overall was Alison Rosen. She rocked a TeenyB bikini and looked amazing doing it.

And finally Khanh also participated and looked amazing in her India colored Butterfly top! Complete with a crystalized bow detail that we personally thought, stole the show!!!

Be sure to check out all of the contestants and their bikinis on RX Muscle.com!

If you are a bikini fitness competitor and are interested in a customized TeenyB bikini, be sure to email us.

Just sitting down reflecting on our last shoot. Finally got a chance to take the boat out to some close islands that have a lot of great things to shoot, especially when you have a model in our bikini standing in front of it.

As always, the shoot was a success. Not only were the girls a pleasure to work with, the weather was in our favor and the fresh air was perfect. The only problem we really had was – NOT ENOUGH TIME. We get set up, scout a few places to shoot and then the next thing you know, the sun is going down and we have to leave.

No worries, now that the weather is starting to really cool off, it just gives me an excuse to get out and do some more shooting. And that is exactly what I plan on doing. Once we get back into town, we are out on the boat again so I can hit a few more of those spots we had scouted.

While I am no where near finishing the edits on this last batch, we do have a nice behind the scenes shot.

This photo means so much more than just a few girls standing in front of me. We actually used a series of this shoot to promote a PARTY we will be having mid October!!!

It has been a really long time since we have had a party, so we are excited to get a lot of the new models we have been working with together and interacting. That and of course we will have some BIKINIS to give away! It is always one of our favorite things to do, especially since we have a few new styles to introduce.

Well the end of Summer is coming close and many of you will be starting to put your bikinis away until next year. If you are lucky, you may take a trip in the Fall to an island down South, or go on a cruise where you will enjoy some sunshine-y weather. But while you are soaking up your last few weeks of Summer, we are getting ready to really start working hard.

We have 3 new bikini top styles that we have been working on that we know you’ll love and now we get to go shopping for some special fabrics and trims. We also plan on launching a panty line in the Fall. This way, you can enjoy the comfortable micro bikini styles of TeenyB, but in a luxurious lingere fabric. This one, we have been waiting to launch of a long time, and it was definitely worth the wait!

We are also excited to start ramping up our photo shoots as well. The weather will start to become cooler, making it much easier to spend the day out in the sun and on the water shooting.

We did manage to sneak in a few photo shoots in August, but our very last one got canceled due to rain!
Here is a photo of Angela, AnnMarie and Desiree on the beach from THEIR photo shoot. The full photo sets should be up on the site soon in the models section, but make sure to try and spot them on the website modeling some of their personal favorite bikinis!!

It is always exciting for us to get emails from customers and friends alike telling us of their travels around the world in their TeenyB Bikinis! Most people buy special bikinis for a vacation and they love to show it off. We especially love when they send in photos WITH their stories!

Most recently, a good friend and model of ours Maria, set off on a 6 month journey around Europe. We have no doubt she is having a super time in her travels…but she made our day recently when she sent us a few photos!

Here Maria is posing in her Oasis Bikini in front of the Versailles Palace in France. We have no doubt she managed to turn a LOT of heads!!

Here is another great shot, and personal favorite in Cinque Terre, Italy!
This only inspires me to keep working on making that Venice, Italy shoot a reality!! Everything is so photograph-able!!

If you would like to see more photos of Maria on her travels, be sure to visit our Facebook Page!

Well it feels like I am always trying to play catch up with updating this blog. I turn around and the week is over. Time really does fly when you are having fun!

We have a bunch of great things going on with TeenyB – including the successful Fashion Show we hosted about two weeks ago!!

You can see several photos from this Fashion Show on our FACEBOOK Fan page. Either click on the link, or search for TeenyBBikinis!!

Our models did terrific and we have been busy setting up photo shoots for each girl who participated. Not only will they be featured on our storefront, but also in our MODEL PAGE GALLERY!

A few highlights of the fashion show that were a big hit with the girls… RUFFLES!
Showing off a girlie attitude is always fun, and this playful addition to our Classic Cut Triangle Top is just the ticket. (We made it even more girlie by adding crystal rhinestones!) While none of crystallized bikinis are for sale on our website yet, they still were a favorite with the crowd!

Be sure to check out all the other photos today! (There are a LOT posted on FB so you won’t want to miss them!)

Well if things aren’t hot enough for you outside, then we know how to turn up the heat for sure!!

Just finished up a terrific photo shoot with one of our favorite models, Lindsay this past weekend. We haven’t had the pleasure of shooting her since our Cayman trip. We were definitely ready for some face time.

And what better day to shoot her than with a BUNCH of NEW PRODUCTS! They are not up on the site yet, but we just had to post a sneak peak of Linsday modeling our NEW MESH PRINT! (She shot in two new mesh prints that day)

While we had a great time shooting new products, we know that it never replaces a great on location shoot – so we promised her the next time we get together, it will be somewhere Exotic! Now the fun part is deciding just where we want that to be!

Keep a look out for some new sexy prints coming to TeenyB Storefront soon!

Happy Birthday To You….
Happy Birthday To You….
Happy Birthday Dear Melissa….

We all know how the song goes. But we still want Melissa to know just how much we love her!
It is her Birthday week and we couldn’t pass up the chance to celebrate it with her!!

She has much to celebrate as well.

We were very proud sponsors of her this year as she competed in the Bikini Fitness circuit.
While TeenyB does not yet have their OWN team, or really sponsor many people, there was a special reason we chose to give her the extra love and attention.

#1. She is one of MY best friends. And anything I can do to support her is music to my ears
#2. Melissa is also working with us on an even bigger venture for our Bikini Fitness line for Competition Suits!

Here are a few special photos from Melissa at her competition (which she took 1st PLACE!!!)

The bottom Melissa is wearing (up until now has been a Custom Bottom) that we make for our Competition Girls. It has been such a hit that we have extended it to our website. (Look out for this bottom to launch THIS MONTH). We will start it out in our Classic Separates Collection.

The bottom Melissa is wearing is called a Brazilian Full Pucker. (We also make a Brazilian Half Pucker design as well).

You may be able to see a special bling on the front of Melissa’s suit. Part of our newest designs for Competition Suits are going to include custom Swarovski Crystal Designs! Melissa’s design incorporates our Logo right on the front!!!

To us, it is obvious why Melissa one, and it has nothing to do with the suit she is wearing…BUT it certainly doesn’t hurt either!

Happy Birthday Melissa and Congratulations on your First Place win!!

We are very excited this week, a lot of great stuff coming together.

We just received some NEW PRINTED bikinis in and are very eager to get them shot and up on the site.
They are fun and exciting for a late Summer arrival, and will be sure to catch your eye.

We will be doing a photo shoot this weekend with one of our sexy models Lindsay, so be sure to keep a look out for NEW PRODUCTS up on the site soon!!

We are also getting ready for an upcoming FASHION SHOW in Clearwater, FL in August. We hope to be showcasing a few new designs in this show. The designs should come out later in the season, just in time for you Winter vacationers!!

We have an All-Star line up walking this Fashion Show, so you won’t want to miss it if you live in the area!!

And none other than the gorgeous Ally Rivera will be hosting this event!

Well I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July weekend last week. We pretty much laid low here. The weather was rainy the entire weekend. It did break around 9 pm on the 4th…just long enough for people around the neighborhood to set off their fireworks, but then promptly picked up raining again around 11 pm.

Just wanted to wish all the competitors good luck if you are competing this coming weekend around the Country.

A special shout out to Laurel M. who will be competing for a chance to get her PRO card!!

We are very excited and hope she gets 1st place – because we will be shooting her for TeenyB next week!!

Either way, we know she is a winner, and cannot wait to show off all of her hard work in our bikinis & photos!!

Whenever I meet new people, they always ask me how did TeenyB get started? What was the inspiration for the company?

There are several answers to this question, and some that are still evolving…I guess it all depends on the context of the discussion and whom I am speaking with. But the real underlying reason has to do with loving to design, and loving to accentuate a woman’s body and natural curve.

Before there was TeenyB, I was just a photographer. I still take photos to this day – but on a much lesser scale then before. My favorite subjects were always female models, and I especially love working with women who don’t have much experience. We always are testing new girls for TeenyB, because while we love to shoot models who know how to make our bikinis look great – we also like to shoot everyday girls who actually WEAR our bikinis!! Being able to see potential in a model, and spending time teaching her how to appreciate her body, her look, her face and angels is a big reward for me. There is a moment during the day when you are working with your subject and she finally “forgets” that she is modeling, and just let’s herself go. She falls into the moment – and doesn’t worry about her surroundings. These moments always result in the most interesting and natural feeling shots of the day.

An eternal problem I would run into though, was being distracted by what the model was wearing. I cannot tell you how many times (myself included) I have looked at a girl’s figure and thought it was beautiful. It wasn’t fat, it had curves and interest. But the girl would look at all the wrong things and just hate herself. She would pinch a nothing piece of skin on her body and complain about it. That frustrates me to no end. The truth is, clothes and bikinis can do a lot to make a girl look a lot WORSE than she really appears. Cut, fabric and color have a lot to do with it.

Being short (5’3″) with an athletic build – it is always difficult for me to find clothes with the perfect fit. I have always been involved in sports growing up, and have sprinters legs, natural boobs and will never have a rock hard abdomen unless I do some extreme dieting (at the loss of my boobs) which will never happen. Bikinis in regular stores came up too high on my waist and did NOTHING for my figure. And having a butt that did not need any extra ump-hf to it, the backs of the bikinis made my ass look HUGE. Tops, weren’t so bad, but there was such a difference with the bottoms, that no one was looking at my top anyway.

I decided to do a little research and put to use my desire for design. I had done it several times in my life before – creating my own prom dresses, even my wedding gown, but this was different. This was a bare bones approach to being able to accentuate and highlight a woman’s, ANY woman’s body.

I suppose this company was created for selfish reasons. So what if it failed, I would at least have bikinis that would fit MY body perfectly!

But it didn’t fail. In fact, I would test out the styles on different girls, and they looked great on everyone. Different styles obviously accentuate different assets, but the low cut designs, and elongating of the torso allows any woman to feel like a million bucks! For me, the less fabric I have on my body, the less I am worried about how it LOOKS on my body. The less I worry about ANYTHING, the better.

This is a new concept for many women because the thought of wearing less seems counter-intuitive to feeling good about their body. But the more I watched the reactions on girls who put the suits on, the more I saw, there was something much more to TeenyB than I had originally thought. Girls felt GOOD in the bikinis. They felt SEXY wearing them! Their faces lit up, they walked with more confidence and couldn’t stop looking at themselves in the mirror. They WANTED to put on the suit and be seen.
And thus, Less Fabrics – More Looks was born.

You may notice a sweet face on the site this month. Whether or not you can place where you know her FROM is a different story, but her name is Ally Rivera and she is just as wonderful IN person, that she is on camera!

Ally has done several television jobs, hosting a show on Telemundo and various events. She also has been seen, most recently on the magazine cover of Women’s Runner.

Not only is Ally gracing our front page of TeenyB this month, but she is also officially the FIRST TeenyB Girl!!
She will not be the last, but we always remember our first!

And what exactly IS a TeenyB Girl????

Well you will just have to go check it out and find out for yourself!!! Click on the image below to see Ally’s page directly!

This entire month we will update her page with NEW and exciting things. MORE PHOTOS, Screen Savers, Skins and much more. So take a look, but remember to come back too!
