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!

You may have noticed something a little different on our bikini models page.

We are becoming more interactive, or trying to anyway.

If you have a favorite photo on the model page, and want to display it on your Facebook or Myspace Page, even make a Tweet about it – it is as simple as the click of a button.

Perhaps you want to show that special someone in your life what bikini you want for Christmas, point him in the right direction by posting it on his wall!! No excuses for bad gifts this year!!!

It’s simple, locate the buttons on every photo page and click!!! Simple, sexy and high quality, even on your iPhone!!!
Give it a test today!! We promise, it’s worth it!

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.

Everyone knows that it is good to change things up a bit. Wether it be your eating habits, your hobbies, workouts, or even your bikinis!
Yesterday I decided to take the Kayak out for a spin. It has always been such a great workout for me, and really I hadn’t done it in a few months.

The weather was perfect, not too warm, and not cold. A little sun is always good for you too.

One thing I always get a laugh out of is my bikini collection. You would think that someone who owns a bikini company would eventually become tired of bikinis, and get sick of the ones in front of her. Perhaps that is a little true, but I always am mixing and matching my styles and colors. Yesterday I wore a Ginger bottom from the Crossroads line, and paired it with an India Triangle Top from the Couture line. To be honest, the two reds looked pretty hot together too. So much so, that I am putting in a cut sheet to do a two-tone in each of these color combinations.

Which brings me to my ultimate point….

For those of you who do not tan on a regular basis, and really only get out in the sun on those hot Summer days….you are bound to be in a bikini at SOME POINT from now to next Summer. May I recommend trying on the Stunning, India bikini.

It looks great on every skin tone – fair, light, tan and dark. If I have one go-to color (besides black, which sometimes makes me feel washed out) it is India!
Here are a few examples of just how well this India color looks on everyone!

Ashley Models the Uptown Couture Bandeau. Ashley has very light skin with cute freckles and we just think this red pops on her! It’s a great piece because it is sold as a separate, which means you can mix and match with many colors to create endless bikini combinations! To see this product in the store, click on the image below.

We think Jillian looks absolutely stunning in her Yacht Club, Butterfly Top and Full Pucker Bottom in India. She has a medium (spray tan) with dark hair. The red lipstick really gives her a glamourous edge. We love it! To see Jillian’s bikini in the store, click on her image below.

And finally, Maria has naturally olive dark skin. During the summer she gets VERY tan, but never seems to lose her glow in those winter months much.
She is wearing our Vegas Nights Collection Bikini, Sweetheart Top in India. To view Maria’s suit in the store, click on her image below.

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!

We are so proud to announce that a TeenyB customer has won 1st Place in her Overall Class Bikini Competition!!!
We worked with Keva a little to customize her TeenyB so that she would have an extra special suit to model at the competition!

Congratulations to Keva for winning:

-Bikini Class A Open
-Bikini 35 and Overall Class A
-Bikini 35 and Over Overall

Judging by her photos, she looks absolutely stunning, and we can see why!!!

Competition was sponsored by Rx Muscle and you can view her photos on the site.
All photos shown from this competition can be viewed at www.Rxmuscle.com website. Click here to visit that site directly.

We were able to make Keva a very special suit for her competition because she contacted us, and gave us enough time to work with her. If you enter into competitions and would like something extra special for you, just send us an email. Prices for bikinis may vary depending on customers needs.

We do test shoots for many reasons.

First and foremost, we are always looking for models for our storefront and catalog shoots.
Many times, the models want the opportunity to meet us, to be able to wear our bikinis, and of course to take one home with them. Of course, many of the models that are local(ish) we love to invite them to our events and parties.

But, certainly there are a lot more pictures that we take that never get to make the storefront. We can only use SOO many photos of the same suit right? Wrong!

#1, we LOVE to put as many girls in our suits as possible, because everybody has different bodies. The more people we see in them, the better we can determine how they are fitting, if we need to make adjustments, or even create a new style!

Just today I fitting a model in a brand new cover-up skirt. It is not finished, but if I do say so myself, it is totally hot!!!

I digress… Just because not every model makes it on the TeenyB Storefront site, does not mean they aren’t special and deserving of a little love and attention.

Did you know, we have a sister site that is DEVOTED to Teeny Bikini Girls!! You, me and every girl who knows how to rock a bikini, and embrace the TeenyB lifestyle is a TeenyBikiniGirl!!! We also have photos of some of our events and parties up there too!

Have you shot with us before, and want to see your edited photos? Check out TeenyBikiniGirls.com. If you still don’t see them, email me and I will locate them, and let you know when they will be updated on the site.

Well now that Summer is over, it is very easy to fall into the trap of “out of sight – out of mind.”

Don’t let this be you. A quick and easy tip to make sure that you are staying on your body goals, is to put on that bikini once a month and see how you stack up. If it seems a little tight, do 10 squats and 10 walking lunges every day. It may not seem like a lot now, but they WILL add up.

Also, just because you may not be hitting the beach, doesn’t mean a quick 15 minutes out in the sun still won’t do you a little good!!

My recommendation, put on the smallest TeenyB you own and go in out your backyard today!!!

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??

Bitter sweet news today… A great friend and participant to TeenyB is making a change in her life and moving to a new city. We will dearly miss Laura.

Though we have been friends for many many years, and know we will continue to be in touch after she moves – work will just never be the same without her. We hope that she will still participate in updates with her life, photos and bikini news, and when she comes to visit her friends and family – we will get together as much as possible.

We know Laura will not be able to live without at least coming to a few more parties and photo shoots!!! : )

Love you Laura.

Congrats on the move and wish you the best of luck!! KISSES

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.

While this afternoon shoot was not filled with tons of fun outfits, we were just shooting some product shots, we did take some time and model a new Mesh bikini. (We expect this product to be up on the website for sale next week.)

Leah loved this new bikini – Tropical Leaf Mesh w.Peacock Solid because of the bright colors and the playful feel. It of course looked stunning on her.

Funny thing is, we loved how her blonde hair and fun makeup looked, we hardly took any pics of the bikini. Instead we focused on her face, which is just as beautiful.

Leah brought her own friend, and makeup artist to the shoot just to hang out and do her makeup. While we didn’t pay her friend for her services, we were happy to give her some of the photos taken. We loved her work so much, we definitely plan on seeing what else she can do. In the next month we are scheduling test photo shoots twice a week. Our next test shoot will be Friday (Sept. 18th). If you want to test shoot for TeenyB, email us at model@teenybikini.com. Include photos and your availability.

Test Shoots are not paid, but we will TFP and also gift a bikini.

A few final shots of what we were so mesmerized with.

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!
