Bikini in popular culture

(詳細はswimsuit, and not necessarily for swimming. Today, bikinis appear in competitions, films, magazines, music, literature, magazines and even video games. Despite the easy availability of more revealing glamour imagery, bikini modeling remains popular and can still create controversy. Portrayals of the bikini in popular culture led, to a large extent, to its acceptance by Western society at large. In 1960, Brian Hyland's pop song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" inspired a bikini-buying spree. The white bikini worn by Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in the 1962 James Bond film ''Dr. No'' has been cited as the most famous bikini of all time and an iconic moment in cinematic and fashion history.〔 By 1963, the movie ''Beach Party'', starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, led a wave of films that made the bikini a pop-culture symbol. ''Playboy'' first featured a bikini on its cover in 1962. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue debuted two years later. This increasing popularity was reinforced by its appearance in contemporary movies like ''How to Stuff a Wild Bikini'' featuring Annette Funicello and ''One Million Years B.C'' featuring Raquel Welch.〔James Kitchling, (Short History of Bikinis and Swimsuits ), 3X24 News Magazine〕 Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Gina Lollobrigida and Jane Russell helped the growing popularity of bikinis further. Pin up posters of Monroe and Mansfield, as well as Hayworth, Bardot and Raquel Welch distributed around the world contributed significantly to the popularity of the bikini.〔Lorna Edwards, "(You've still got it, babe ), ''The Age'', June 3, 2006〕
==Bikini contests==
(詳細はadult entertainment where women compete against each other in bikinis ostensibly as beauty contests. They can take place in bars, nightclubs, strip clubs, on beaches, and at beauty pageants, as well as during intermissions of boxing or wrestling matches, and at car shows. Bodybuilding competitions may also feature bikini contest segments. Contestants often wear a number or a sash to indicate where they are from, in line with other beauty pageants. It is becoming more common for women to wear bikinis at swimsuit competitions. Bikini contests can also take place over the Internet by women submitting pictures of themselves in bikinis.
Bikini contests may be organised or sponsored by related companies for marketing purposes or to try to find and attract new talent to promote their products. Miss Hawaiian Tropic is organized by Playtex to promote "Hawaiian Tropic", its suntan lotion. NOPI runs the annual "Hot Import Nights" bikini contest, which is held in conjunction with the import car-show in Atlanta, Georgia, and the annual Hooters bikini competition.
With plastic surgery becoming affordable, available and socially acceptable more and contestants in bikini contests, like Miss Hawaiian Tropic, are appearing with breast and lip augmentations.〔 During the Ocean Pacific Pro Surfing Championships in 1983 and in 1986 at Huntington Beach, a disturbance broke out when men tried to pull the bikinis off women on the beach and at a bikini competition.〔Matt Krantz, "(Sponsors get gnarly idea: Surf sells, dude )", ''USA Today'', August 6, 2001〕 When Mariyah Moten competed in the Miss Bikini of the Universe pageant in Beihai, China in 2006.〔("Bikini-clad entrants vie for 'Queen Pearl' title" ). ''China Daily''. August 12, 2006.〕 she was the first Pakistani girl to participate in a bikini pageant. She created an outrage in her home country.〔("'Miss Bikini’ did not represent Pakistan, says official" ). Dawn.com (Pakistan). September 8, 2006.〕〔("Agents of change or miss-representations?" ). ''Times of India'' (Delhi). September 9, 2006.〕 She also became the most photographed participant of the contest and won the Best in Media/Miss Press title. A year later she was 2nd Runner-up in the Miss Asia International contest and Miss Asia World, and was featured on the cover of ''Sexy South Asian Girls'' 2007 calendar.〔("Beauty queen's calendar image draws hate titles" ). ''Gulf News''. Al Nisr Publishing LLC. January 23, 2007.〕〔("From Miss Pak to the Sexy SA Girls of 2007" ). DNA (India). Diligent Media Corporation. January 21, 2007.〕
