Vintage Bathing Suit Score

I kid you not, I found the black Marilyn Monroe 1950's swimsuit pictured above. The only difference is that mine has a cute halter strap around the neck. My hairstylist sent me the tip last week. She was chatting with the owner of the vintage store beside her salon, when he mentioned he just got a bunch of 1950's bathing suits in. She knows about my obsession, so she called me right away and let me know. Of course I went there right away, and there it was! My dream vintage swimsuit is all mine now. Although I still want an animal print one like Connie Francis is wearing below.

I've wanted a vintage swimsuit for a while, but no luck yet. Marilyn's is great inspiration!

I love the Monroe suit. They way it looks so sexy yet doesn't really reveal anything, all at the same time. Now all you need is a Long Island Ice Tea and a gorgeous pool boy. ;)
