Last Friday after work, my fellow co-workers and I went out for ladies night at a local hang out where we were guaranteed to have some good food, good laughs and a good time on the dance floor. While we were sitting in the lounge checking out the parade of young adult and middle aged fashionistas, an advertisement on the club’s monitor caught my eye. It read:
“Best homemade bikini contest next week!”
A picture of a model-like playboy bunny posed scantily in a hot white patent leather bikini trimmed with pink feathers was all that it would take to spark a curious excitement in some, and plant a seed of creative ideas in others. Without knowing all the particulars of the contest, one thing I did know for sure was that J&O was definitely the place the soon to be contestants needed to come for all their bikini crafting needs.
From low hair faux furs, lame' and pima dotted cottons, to cute Betty Boop, organic hemp and crushed velvets, the ideas that could get you first place are endless. A short trip to your J&O fabric scrap pile and trim bag is all that you will need to make your homemade bikini complete. Use all your fabrics up and nothing to spare? Have no fear. With fabulously new fabrics coming in to J&O every week, you can design and create a swimsuit masterpiece that will go down in history as the hottest homemade craft this side of the Delaware.
I can see it now, young girls’ repping their college team colors and mascots’ in cute two pieces , diva’s in glittery sequence with beaded ties, and Go-Green advocates in natural organics trimmed with fauna leaves and recycled fasteners. If I shed another 20 lbs and freshen up my seamstress skills, I may have a chance for fortune and fame with all the left over Christmas tree decorations in my overstuffed closet. I’d fashion assorted ornaments, strings of popcorn and a few red bows to my green sequence bikini fabric and call it Christmas in April. I’d even place a star upon my head and be the light and life of the party as I receive my award for most festive!
For those of you living in the surrounding area, it’s not too late! If you got the time, we got the place. Stop in and pick up your homemade contest fabric and trims today. With a little money and creativity, your little hand crafted polka dot bikini could be your next claim to fame.
