DU ladies: summertime special: The stick-on bikini

[emad]

<snip> From Evening Standard

From the back, it looks like a girl has thrown caution to the wind. Turn around and it seems like a strapless bra - without any visible means of support.

But from a sunbather's point of view, this tiny strip of material could be the answer to a tanning dilemma.

The Demikini as it is known, is a backless bikini top that does away with the need to readjust straps in pursuit of the perfect line-free tan.

Thanks to a gel usually used in surgery, it has amazing sticking power, staying perfectly in place.

1. now that is interesting

2. Something tells me

That is is not "for ladies"....

What I mean is that while women are more likely to wear them, men are more likely to appreciate them.

Kind of like high-heeled shoes.

3. Could be unisex if the bikini bottoms were made exactly like

the tops...

5. I've never been particularly obsessed about tan lines

myself or anyone elses. However, the article makes a compelling case.

'I sat up and had what I call a "clutch-moment" - which is when you hold your bikini to your chest to look modest,' she said.

'I turned round to my husband and said "I know what I really want ... a backless, strapless bikini top". It was a real lightbulb moment.

'I felt that sunbathing could be a real chore and that I was always working hard to eliminate the strap marks and lines from the day before. I wanted an even tan, with no fastening and unfastening, positioning and re-positioning of ties and straps.'

Yeah, I think most ladies fashion is for men in the long run...
