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!!!
You will be sure to be a winner if you rock a TeenyB on stage! Check out TeenyBFitness.com featuring, who else?? Jaime Baird!!

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.

One of the most exciting times for us is the coming of a new season.
Sure, we continually shop for patterned fabric for our bikinis, but for our solids – we only choose them for the New Spring Collections.

We have finally received the new color cards and have been eagerly checking them out. The hardest part is narrowing our selection down. How does one successfully traverse the waters of picking out just a handful of colors when there are so many to choose from? It is easy to become overwhelmed and second guess yourself, leaving you paralyzed at the decision making process.

One rule I have been taught and now live by is the K.I.S.S method. Keep It Simple Stupid.
I suppose that is why many designers come up with storylines to their newest collections. I think it helps them stay focused and on track. Because at the end of the day it is very easy to become distracted. I tend to be attracted to many different looks and do not have one set style. Many times, (I do admit) each of my styles do not even mesh that well together. I guess you could say my style is pretty eclectic. This extends from my interests in music, to my taste in food. But one has to build up their style over time. If I went out shopping today for a brand new wardrobe, I would not be able to purchase all of the random pieces I am attracted to…nothing would match. I would first have to start with my basics. The pieces that will help me polish and maintain my look. Once I have a good base of those, then I can start to branch out into the more unique items that will really define my style. And just like TeenyB – with each coming Season, we are able to build up our chest of colors, styles and trims.

I find this year to be extremely exciting, not only because we have new styles to introduce but we are also going with a totally new color palate. Something fresh and exciting!

While our deadline is still a few weeks away for final decision…I am always staying focused. You have only just begun to really get a sense of the style of TeenyB!! But there is SO much more to us!!

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.

October is a special month for me for a lot of reasons, but everyone knows that October is the month that we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness. Being in the bikini business, it is even more important that we take care of our bodies and skin.

Protection and prevention from all forms of cancer has helped save many lives.

TeenyB is proud to announce our sponsorship for a wonderful program called Hooked On Hope.Org It combines Breast Cancer Awareness with a fishing tournament. When we read about it, we thought it was a no-brainer. I LOVE to fish, and combining it with something as important as Breast Cancer Awareness is a perfect combination!

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!

Silly me, in all my excitement, I totally forgot to post a photo of the invitation.

Now, while not everyone is invited to this party – if you have modeled for me before and are interested in coming to the party, be sure to e-mail me. I will give you the details.

And as you probably have noticed, there is a football in this shot. That’s right, this is a football party. The New Orleans Saints are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The theme will be football. Girls can choose which team they will root for, by rocking the teams colors, or wear a black and white Referee bikini!!!

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.

If you ever read this blog, you already know how much I love football. So it comes as no surprise that I am super excited that the season is now upon us. FINALLY something good to watch on television.
This year is even more special because we are entering the season (I am a New Orleans SAINTS fan) as reigning Champions! I have high hopes for this year, no reason why we cannot pick up right where we left off!

The same applies for TeenyB actually. Just because we are ending the Swimming season for many, does not mean that we cannot continue to build on all of the progress we have made throughout the year.

In fact, this year has been our best yet, and I have every reason to believe that NEXT will be even better!!
We are excited to be introducing NEW PRODUCTS next year including 3 bikini tops. We will also relaunch our MICRO BIKINI LINE incorporating a few more bottoms to match our sexy Triangle Tops. And of course we will continue to expand our ever popular BRAZILIAN BIKINIS!!

There is much to celebrate with TeenyB and last week, we did just that!

You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with in life and our growth at TeenyB is also a direct reflection of the people who are a part of this company. What better way to celebrate our successes than with a few bottles of champagne and some good home cooking!!!!

Wishing a special thanks to all the TeenyB Staff.

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!)
