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.

Once in a while, a distinguished company gets the pleasure of viewing some of the work a photographer is able to create with their products. I was very happy to hear the news that Leica had contacted Robert Turi to do an interview with him based on his experiences as a photographer and user of their products, Leica cameras.

This is not only a great tribute to a personal friend and confidant, but also a member of the TeenyB team so we are excited to see this. Take a moment to read these 2 terrific posts.

And of course the follow-up to the article.

Part Two

My only real complaint is that there are NO photos in bikinis here

Congratulations Bobby, it was a pleasure reading this article, and I wish you only the greatest things in your carer to come!

Well, I am sure you are all wondering, now that the shoot is over – when do we get to SEE it online?

Unfortunately we still have a lot of work to do after the fact, and this is the earliest we have ever shot our catalog, so I cannot imagine any of our newest stuff is going to be showing up on the website until February. (But I will not count out a special Newsletter Sneak Peak Preview and possible PRE-SALE).

If you haven’t visited our website lately, there IS some new and exciting things up already.

We are always adding new prints, no matter WHAT the time of year, so visit our Limited Edition Prints section to see the newest.

Our most popular department B.Couture – Oasis has NEW 2-Strand Trims. They are twice as sexy as the original single strand (still for sale on the website). Our new 2-strand Oasis comes in 4 color options; White (Lined), Yellow (limited release), New Blu and Coral Mania.

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.

LOTS and lots of stuff going on these days. This time of the year always seems to fly by.

We have officially planned our new 2012 line and are receiving some new prints every week. It always feels like Christmas when we get samples in. We get to pick thru them, see which ones we like, if the colors work. Of course the true test is when we actually get them on the models and shoot them. There have been many times when we aren’t sure of a print before we shoot it, but in looking at the photos we love it!!

While all of our samples get the opportunity to be shot, not all of them make the cut for the product line.
What do we do with these lonely samples you may ask???

The thing is, even if they do not make the cut for the product line, does not mean they aren’t adorable. A lot of times, we chose not to produce it, because it does not mesh well with the other colors we have, or perhaps we have another product that looks too similar. For whatever reason, these bikinis always end up finding a nice home.

We have a few new styles coming out for next season as well as some really fun prints and colors. More to come….

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!

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.

For the past week, we have been on a cruise thru Alaska. It is my first time up here, and it is very beautiful. From what I hear the weather has been fantastic (they normally have more rain and clouds I guess). I can only imagine how cold it is during the Winter, brrrr.

The second day of our cruise, our boat went up the Tracy Arm Fjord. It was gorgeous! The entire journey was calm and serene, it looked like clouds and waterfalls were just painted on a picturesque mountain with Aqua blue water calmly below. The view from our deck we could see the glacier for quite a while, and it was interesting how much more detailed it really was. From far away it seemed so smooth…but as you came closer, you could see deep crevasses and chunks of ice falling off. It really was quite stunning. Waterfalls at every turn only added to the scenery and background noise.

While out boat did allow us to get much closer than I had expected it to, it still was a bit away. We decided to take a quick photo in my bikini top as we started our turn. Why you may ask…because, when do you EVER get a chance to take a bikini photo next to a Glacier?

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.

Contact us via our Models Page, (there is a link at the bottom of this page).
You can also get up to date information about TeenyB at our Facebook Page (TeenyBBikinis)

Everyone has been working really hard at TeenyB these days. We have a lot of great projects in the works, and have been really pushing our boundaries when it comes to creativity and fresh ideas.

When we first created this company, we knew HOW we wanted to site to look and feel, but recognized that it was not going to happen right away. We will always be updating it with fresh styles and prints, sure, but the feel of the photos will grow as our photography does. We must always be evolving our style…it is part of being a luxury brand. WE have to be the creators. If we do not, then it is easy for people to emulate and replicate, which essentially would then make us obsolete.

What better time to present a brand new look to our company then with the upcoming Independence Day? And what better way to describe a new style of bikinis as well. We are just scratching the surface with this new style of photography, but it is something we have been longing to do for several years.

Introducing our first Special Edition Independence Lookbook and Catalog!
(To view this entire catalog, please click on the image below)

We have been asked several times if we have any Look Books or Catalogs and this will be the first of many to come throughout the year, so make sure to keep checking.

These bikinis are all for sale, but for a short time only (Guaranteed Delivery for July 4th), but after that, they are gone so make sure to get yours today!!!

What makes these bikini so special????

Besides being able to mix and match all the styles to fit your personal style and preference, we also have some new styles in general! Can anyone say…RUFFLES?? Be sure to check out all the style options available on the last page of the catalog…OHHH, and you can click on any one you like to take you directly to the storefront photo!

We hope you enjoy the catalog!

Well it may not be officially Summer yet in Florida, but the bikini weather is officially here.

Have you already picked out what bikini you will be wearing this season?? Or perhaps you have a few in mind! We have been busy at work this past month getting ready for the bikini rush.

May has always been a great month for us, and this year will be no different. We are proud to be featured in Maxim Magazine this May, be sure to check us out.

While this feature, is not centered around bikini’s themselves, our bikini made the cut! And who could blame them, we do think our bikinis are the hottest on the block.

I am super excited because they actually did a mix match of top and bottom colors. One of our favorite things to do when we are feeling frisky!! Best way to get the most use out of ALL of your bikinis?? Mix and Matching the tops.

Here is a sneak peak at the photo, but be sure to get the whole magazine to get the full effect!

The bikini above is from our B.Luxe Downtown Collection. She is rocking a Bright Pink Classic Triangle Top and Peacock Solid Shortie.

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!

I feel like I am constantly repeating myself when I write. Perhaps it is because I am a creature of habit.

This past week I have had the pleasure, as I have most years, to go to Mardi Gras. If you know me, you know I have many roots in this city even though I am not originally from here. After working hard for the past few months leading up to our Bahamas shoot, it is time for us to relax and play. I cannot tell you how many business people have referenced – “Work Hard – Play Hard”

For me, this is a way of life. I love to work, but it is important to also get a chance to play and decompress. I will spare you the details of our awesome Mardi Gras, but I will say that I am absolutely ready to get back to Florida and start working! There is a lot to be done. We will be launching our new Spring line in just two short weeks. We have completely overhauled our B.Luxe Micro Line, and it is going to rock!

I would like to extend another token of thanks to all of the staff (family) at TeenyB that make things happen. I am anxious to fully go through all of the awesome photos we shot and start getting them up on the site.

While this is not a photo of Mardi Gras – it is a cool photo taken of Myself, Sigmund and Bruce while working hard in the Bahamas.

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.

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!
