And this morning, Joe Hummel, let's talk about the history of the bikini. Well, it was July 1946. A French designer named Louis Reard introduced the bikini. This was in Paris. Now, this was risque. He couldn't even get a regular model to wear it at his presentation. So he hired an exotic dancer who would wear it.
