Bikini phobia
Text / Catherine Saint Louis translation / Xie Qian
How sexy bikini, there is more ruthless. Wearing a bikini has evolved to feel the pressure of the matter is, even those who could not escape the star looks perfect in this robbery.
Every year this time, women would periodically start the upcoming "bikini season" and uneasy, in order to deserve any of a bikini, "the body must go through diet, exercise and even liposuction," the horrible idea of an annual such as the cherry blossoms in spring are about and to like such as. Before the arrival of the summer, "Shape", "Self" magazine in a timely manner advocated such "body sculpting is essential to prepare" concept, and also produced a similar "US-based desire - give me a bikini," the DVD tutorial to drum up support for the readers. So, for months, and body sculpting for Bikini War posture countdown began, as if each person's appearance on the beach is as important as the university entrance exam, only the lazy and those who will meet in an abandoned piece swimwear sexy but ruthless attempt bikini.
Swimwear designer Malia Mills will set the tone for their own brand motto is "love your different." She said, "this trend is really like in the transmission of a message does not seem to do not with the body through body sculpting swimsuit to wear, I have seen many female clients come to my shop, they swear a camel and said, 'I just to easily see what is popular, so I'll lose 5 pounds when the consumer will come back to patronize. '"
Whether East or West, more and more demanding of human culture to be regarded as a daily standard of a perfect body, which so discouraged the public on the bikini, but this trend was not always the case. 60 years in the 20th century, the lo shi swimwear style popular in the United States had just begun, "this style of swimsuit young people start because it is completely proprietary," "swimwear: 20th century fashion history" of the book Sarah Kennedy said, "Increasingly, brands are beginning to get involved in the bikini line, so the movie stars have started to wear bikinis. to the 1970s, this sexy, clothing began to be accepted by every age and wear." in Sarah Kennedy showed a book in 1940 when Marilyn Monroe photographs, photos of Marilyn Monroe wearing a blue and white striped swimsuit split, look childish off, but obviously in the lower abdomen exposed a circle of small pot - to today's harsh standards, then "Bikini preparations" It was completely laissez-faire. Anne Roiphe in the recently published memoir, "Art and Madness", the author had in 1965, wrote: "I guess there is a pursuer fell in love with me, because I wore thick, dark hair, wearing a charming Bikini. "
All this has changed now, it seems that only a little fat, skinny with no shape or symmetry of the muscles of the body length of the bikini will look good. As Kenney wrote, "a normal body weight seems to be very difficult to feel good about themselves. Everyone began to obesity and bloated intolerance, do not accept that this subtle bias is not we advocate."
Wear a bikini has evolved to a very great pressure to do, even celebrities who could not escape the perfect robbery - everything has to be attributed to the popularity of the camera, a little bit of the defects can not escape the lens. Remember Jennifer Love Hewitt in 2007 was the public ridicule out of shape it? She was only wearing a swimsuit body was photographed more than 0 number only. A year later, Helen Mirren, 62, was accused of doing plastic surgery, it is also because wearing a magenta bikini, exposing her tight, flat belly who were skeptical.
Former volleyball star Gabrielle Reece fitness coaches now also suffered, she was paparazzi photographed naked in the abdomen. "Now in any place, any person can easily give lessons to others, they are anonymous speech, no need to take any responsibility in their own words. Wearing a bathing suit will really be stricken many unexpected hazard. But why should we order unnecessary what the penalties themselves? why be afraid of those who criticized it? "she said.
On the other hand, the bikini has become some of the terrible marketing campaign spokesman. Yoplait Light yogurt, a recent ad in a small number to the point of red, yellow polka bikini close-ups, yogurt lovers as the future of industrious incentives.
Nivea cosmetics brand has held a "farewell fat, hello, bikini!" Competition, designed to encourage women to have an active weight-loss and buy their products. In addition, Nivea, donated last year "Cosmopolitan" magazine in Las Vegas, "Planet Hollywood Resort" at the "bikini rally." At the scene, wearing a blue and white frilly bikini a hundred dance accompanied by Midi Mafia actress song "Two Piece" graceful dance, the audience has more than 1,000 spectators. Midi Mafia's two male singers'd fully dressed, the girls they said: "You all look like each of Cosmo magazine cover model."
Amansala resort island of Ibiza in Spain, Mexico, Tulu Mu area opened with "bikini camp," the price of 6 nights starting from $ 1,875. "Our society has been completely biased on the bikini, it is because of this, we organized this event." Resort owner Melissa Perlman said, this event attracted a number of women aged 30 to 40 concern. "At the same time, we also try to pass a number of different message - you do not need to be perfect can confidently wear a bikini. As long as the feeling of nature, learn to love yourself, all will be beautiful to wear a bikini." She said.
Women are often a little To register call the inquiry, "all women are like your site like that?" Promotional photos on the site are more pleasing, build first-class girl. Large size women who are often reluctant to get together with the bikini babes, which is only human, Perlman insight into the mentality of different groups of people, has begun planning for the slightly fat women in particular to set up a project.
Early April, the plastic surgeon Elie Levine and his wife, dermatologist Jody Levine's clinic in Manhattan co-chaired a bikini season warm-up activities. Event attracted 19 women and 1 male participation. Doctors rightly warned you extra baggage sector: "Summer is the perfect body for exposure, for a year if you fat accumulation was not ready to meet this challenge, it will naturally be terribly upset." Plastic surgeon then proceeded to list some tips, such as "embarrassing to drive away the orange peel pattern" or "stubborn area of fat burning," and so on.
Not long ago, I visited two doctors, in an interview near the end, I ventured off to the doctor show hidden in the shirt below the navel orange peel pattern, readily pinch is a pile of fat, which in my previous three children years is the Almighty did not exist! Levine doctors were given a prescription are: liposuction surgery, skin and stomach reduction surgery or surgery - all of these operations have to spend 1 million dollars, and also as the pain of recovery.
Another way, try something new way is probably spending a lot less. 65-year-old retro swimwear designer Norma Kamali swimsuit than design, but also operated a cafe in Manhattan, she said: "If you think your body is very strong, she is also maintained quite well, it might not too awkward. No seek the help of the chest can be filled with surgery may live comfortably, to meet. "
Not all women are photographed for the use of mobile phones around the "bikini police" are the problems, nothing will prevent them to continue to boldly split wear swimsuit living for pleasure. Mills will be such people as "good mind Girl," "They may only be one of the few exceptions, but definitely inspiring. Any age, any stature can have extremely powerful self-confidence is not difficult to do this, As long as the face and accept the real self, including the body. "she said.
