Okay, let’s give a big “cheers” to Panama City Beach, Florida for breaking the World Bikini Record.
“Cheers!”
It assembled 450 girls in the sexy swimwear to set the new mark. It broke the old record of 357 set on Australia’s Gold Coast (get with it now, mates!). Guinness World Record adjudicator Philip Robertson even flew in from London to certify the results.
It happened, naturally, during Spring Break. There was a parade that went from the front of Harpoon Harry’s restaurant to the pier on the beach along of the Gulf of Mexico in Panama City Beach. That’s about a mile.
The contest featured spring breakers and locals in – what else – bikinis. They were given official Bikini Parade hats to wear signaling to officials that they were part of the line-up, as opposed the other girls who were mearly there on the beach as spectators.
Karly Quinn from Maine told WJHG-TV that participating in the Bikini Parade was her patriotic duty. “This is the most exciting day of my life, tears were coming out of my eyes, I’m so proud of the United States,” she said.
The bikini contest was created by the Bay County Tourist Development Council c to promote the area and get more tourists to the beach. “We’ll have a lot of college kids and there’s a lot of hormones flowing out there,” Panama City Beach city council member Ken Nelson told Fox News prior to the event.
It must be noted that the most famous bikini in the world is a white one worn by the dribbling sexy Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in the 1962 James Bond film, Dr. No, I think it’s pretty easy to see why by looking at the photo.
It’s about as eye-catching as 450 girls setting a bikini world record.
Florida has got the world’s famous beaches. Miami is one of my favourite.
