    "When the mayor of a small beach town in Spain mounted a defense of the bikini in 1953, he had no idea it would trigger the fall of Franco’s Fascist regime

    Modernity comes in many forms. It might manifest itself as a technology, a fashion design, or new music. Change, both social and political, then radiates outward from that small innovation. In 1950s Spain, modernity arrived as two small pieces of colorful fabric worn at the beach. It’s fair to say that the bikini was instrumental in Spain’s modernization. It might even be argued that it destroyed Fascism.

    Spain under Generalissimo Francisco Franco was a bastion of conservatism, a proudly backward nation. His prime minister, Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco, insisted that progress undermined stability. To offer change to a Spaniard, he argued, was like offering a drink to an alcoholic. Conservatism, however, was enormously costly; by actively impeding progress, Franco ensured that Spain remained a very poor country."

  3. Folks it is now about one hour until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! If you want to filter out the hashtag, now'd be a good time to do that.

    If you'd like to join in, this week's movie is VAMPIRE ON BIKINI BEACH (1988), which I can only assume is a documentary about vampire bats in California.

    No? Huh.

    Anyway it's free with ads on Tubi over here: tubitv.com/movies/712244/vampi

    Or you can download from Archive.org over here: archive.org/details/vampires-o

    Just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along! See you there ^^

  6. Ihr habt uns geschrieben, dass sich unsere Baumwoll-#Bikinis im Schwimmbad entfärben. 😱 So etwas nehmen wir natürlich ernst und testen gerade alle Jerseys in starkem #Chlor-Wasser.
    Der letzte Test dieser Art ist tatsächlich schon einige Jahre her. Die Stoffreste haben nun schon einige Stunden hinter sich. Bisher sieht's gut aus. Lassen wir uns überraschen, was morgen früh aus dem Stoffen geworden ist.

  7. CW: Sexualisierung, Kinder

    Ich verstehe nicht, wieso selbst ganz kleine Mädchen #Bikinis tragen. Nicht nur, weil sie noch keine Brüste haben und das Oberteil daher überflüssig ist.

    Ein Bikini wird unter Umständen als "sexy" gelesen. Bei Kindern ist ein sexualisierter Blick nicht nur unangemessen, sondern regelrecht gefährlich. Ich finde es furchtbar, wenn Eltern, die aus Angst vor Pädophilien ihre Kinder nicht nackt herumlaufen lassen, ihre 3-jährige Tochter z. B. in einen Rüschenbikini stecken ⤵️
