QuoteIt was on this day in 1946 that the bikini first went on sale after a debut at an outdoor fashion show in Paris. Going to the beach has never been the same since.

The bikini has a very interesting history. Its inventor was a French automobile engineer named Louis Réard who also ran a clothing store with his mother, and got involved with a rival who said that they would produce the world's smallest bathing suit.

Thank an engineer today.  ;)
