Whats that tiny little thing you just paid all that money for? Just when we thought bikinis could not get any smaller, a new fashion is exploding onto the market called the mini-micro bikini. Both the top and the bottom have almost no coverage at all for your nipples, buttocks, and crotch. Almost the entire body is exposed, leaving very, very little to the imagination. This is a very daring and sexy look that is hitting the beach scene. Unfortunately, not many of us have the figure to look flattering in such a bikini.

Pushing the envelope even further, some of the mini-micro bikinis available are made of a sheer material that can be seen through when the sun shines at the right angle and when the suit is wet. While this might be an exciting bikini to wear for attention and showing off your assets, there is a controversy about such swimwear being allowed in public areas.

Most beaches do not enforce any rules regarding the size of your swimwear. However, more and more public swimming pools are starting to due to complaints from parents. These parents think it is in poor taste, especially when they are trying to enjoy a day at the pool with their children. Those wearing such bikinis feel their rights are being violated. After all, they are wearing a bathing suit.

Another area of controversy is that the swim suit line really only works for extremely small people. It is believed that seeing others in such a small bikini can lead to poor self esteem about your own body and possibly to eating disorders. It is believed society will strive to meet the criteria for this new bikini, jeopardizing their health. In a society that has so many teenage girls and women battling weight issues, this is a disturbing thought.

The mini-micro bikini is available in a variety of shapes and sizes. The tops come in a diamond shape or a teardrop shape. The strings are very thin, and some tie around the neck rather than on the back. The bottoms vary from a basic bikini, a string bikini with very think strings on the side, a teardrop shape over the crotch, and even a thong for the buttocks area. I think we shall all be seeing some very interesting things around the water this summer! It will be interesting to monitor the sales for the micro-mini bikini.

Most first time parents get a shock when at about fourteen months their darling decides they don’t want to wear clothes! The first thing to realise is that there is nothing unusual about this it is just a small part of baby growing up.

Granted it can be quite embarrassing if you have guests around and baby decides to bear all! Embarrassing for you and the guest.

Don’t get over excited and insist that baby wears his or her clothes ALL the time. No it is best if you set limits on when you will allow baby to un-cloth and when you will not all them to un-cloth. You are teaching baby a very important social norm at this point so be firm.

Once you have set your limits be firm, and enforce the rule. You may feel like screaming, but every time baby breaks the rules and starts to undress then redress him, again and again and again. Babies are not stupid and pretty soon they will get the message. Remember though babies are also great manipulators!

Think carefully about when you are going to let baby ‘bear all.’ Common sense will dictate that this is best done when there is little likelihood of traffic into and out of the home. Baby may not be embarrassed by his physique but others outside the family might feel uncomfortable with a naked baby running around them.

Because baby will feel less restricted without their clothes they will be rushing around that little bit more and are therefore more likely to get a knock on some of their more exposed areas.

When naked time is over a good way of getting your child to re-robe is to let him or her pick their own clothing you can do this by laying out a small selection of suitable clothing. Most babies enjoy this exercise and in the long run they become more interested in clothing and it may even help them get over their naked period.

I’ve watched parents visit their attitudes about their bodies onto their children. You are the biggest influence in your child’s life and a little carelessness could make your child feel ashamed of his or her body.

Children have to explore in order to develop, and this is all part of that journey and with a little bit of though before hand you can let the child figure out that undressing in public is not right and this is much better than just telling them ‘don’t do that. That’s bold. ’

Baby is now busy exploring the world around them, educate them well and it will pay handsome rewards in the future.

Teenagers nowadays are on the look out for clothes that are in style, but which also have a famous clothing label to go along. Popular brands are well known for the quality of their products, as well as keeping up the pace with the current fashion trends.

This statement can also be representative for most people not only teenagers. Who wouldn’t like to wear clothes manufactured under a popular brand name? The quality of the products comes at a price, but each product you purchase can make a more powerful statement about you.

The phenomenon can be observed far easier in teenagers. Teen clothing follows the current fashion trends adopted by music and movie stars, the ones which young people today take up as role models. The latest trend in teen clothing today is hip-hop.

Each music genre had its own representative fashion trend, but none of them were as prominent hip-hop. In the beginning, hip-hop stars and fans alike wore products that had a famous clothing label such as Nike, Adidas, Kangol and many others.

Accessories were also worn with those clothes, like name plates, name belts and a considerable number of rings. Jewelry was an important part of the hip-hop fashion trend, both in men and women alike. Chains were common with men, and large earrings popular among women.

Hip-hop music evolved over the years, which also led the fashion trends to evolve with it. While a large number of stars have emerged over the years, not everyone knew how to take advantage of the rising market. As it was pointed out afore, most teenagers choose a famous person as a role model, and they adopt their style and fashion in every day life.

Some hip-hop stars have taken advantage of that and established their own famous clothing brands. For example, some brands like Sean John, Rocawear, Phat Farm, and a lot of other brands popular among teenagers are all creations of famous rappers.

Hip-hop is one of the most popular styles of teen clothing. This culture does not resume to only one style, the popular baggy pants with large T-shirts and brand name shoes. Some rappers have started wearing flashy suits and platinum jewelry accessories, while others have switched to the more classical look with T-shirts shorter in length and tight jeans.

The various styles this culture has appeal to everyone’s tastes. This is probably one of the reasons why teenagers purchase products from famous clothing brands that manufacture hip-hop garments. If you do not have a store that commercializes this type of clothing in your city, you can always choose to surf the internet and try to check out the websites that can help you in this direction.

Before you make any purchase you should check out ways to match different teen clothing items. For this, you should visit the website fashmatch.com. Here you will find an unlimited number of clothing items, not only the ones that follow the hip-hop culture, with which you can let your imagination run free.
