Author: Henrik Holt
There are a variety of items that are used for swimming and bathing purposes.
BH, is a special item of clothing that is specifically designed to wear when you go
for water based activities such as swimming, diving, water skiing, scuba diving,
and surfing.
Swimwear is of two types, one designed for men and the other for the women.
Swimwears are made in wide ranges, from the ones that
cover most of your body excluding face or cover some
part of your body. You can find swimsuits that allow you
to expose most of your body parts as well. The choice
could solely be yours depending on which country you
belong to, if there are laws and restrictions imposed on
body exposure. It is also dependant on the wearer’s
needs like some prefer most parts of their body covered
to prevent from sun burns and others love to wear
swimsuits and take a sun bath. For men, swimwear is
used to normally cover the lower part of their body. They
come in various names and cuts like the swim trunks,
jammers, briefs, thongs, boardshorts and g-strings.
Women’s swimsuits are known as one-piece, thongs and
bikinis. A new innovated swimwear for Muslim women is
the full body covered burqini. At times swimwear is worn

2. to conserve body heat in cold temperatures.
Be careful when using swimsuits. Due to moisture and damp, bacteria, fungus
and other harmful germs can breed on your wet skin. It is advisable to remove
wet swimsuits immediately after use.
Bluser were traditionally worn by men and women alike in earlier times. It was
designed as loose fitting clothing worn to cover the upper part of the body and
mostly worn by artists, peasants, women and children. Recently blouses are more
mostly associated with ladies wear. The blouses are made of cotton or silk fabric
with long, short or three-quarter sleeves or no sleeves at all. It might include high

decorate the blouse. The blouses can be designed with buttons at the front or the
back. One can attach a gemstone broach to the blouse to make it look attractive
as well.

Transforming mediocre into gorgeous
In modern days looks have gained lot of importance. People are becoming
increasingly conscious about their looks and appearance.
These two are different yet interrelated terminologies.
Looks are mostly related to face and the appearance has to
do with the overall package of looks including the clothing.
It is very much required these days to dress up as per the
occasion. People have developed a code for dressing and
makeup for each and every occasion. These two things can
change the way person looks. Clothes can define the body
and enhance it. Clothes can also hide flaws in one’s figure.
Designers can add frills and flares to garments to enhance
or hide. For example, it is recommended for the women
who have heavier bust line, to wear Tørklæder. It serves
dual purpose, one , to hide the bigger bust line and
second, to cut the line of plain garment. It is very much
required in dressing to cut any monotone. Be it in the
dress or color. Normally, blouses with patterns or designs at the yoke do not
require any more enhancing. But if the top is plain or is just simple, then a scarf
around neck or hanging down shoulders can also make a style statement. Normal
boring office wear can be turned into a very interesting one by adding a bright
colored or multi- colored scarf.
There are various tricks used in changing the way they look. One of these tricks is
by applying Makeup. This is a key word to transform a mediocre looking face into
a gorgeous one. It is the easiest way to change the look. This trick has been
commonly used in the motion picture industry. The original faces of our favorite
stars are way too different from what they appear on screen. This is an art and
there are many courses offered to master this art of applying right makeup on
face and wherever required. These artists are highly skilled and keep updating
their knowledge by undergoing training sessions for brushing up their skills. Many
of the stars have their own stylists and artists. They are aware of every plus and
minus of their star. There are various companies in market which produce
different types and range of beauty products. Whatever it may be, inner beauty
wins hands down!

5. History of the Bikini
That’s it! Guys must have sat up in their chairs! This is the history of the swimsuit
which is the most favorite attire which most men like to see.
Ancestors of this type of swimsuit can be found all the way back to the ancient
past. In Sicily, mosaics have been found with artwork depicting scantily clad
women which most probably resembles bikinis. The mosaics belonged to the
Diocletian period from the Greco-Roman era. The 10 women found in these
mosaics have been dubbed the “bikini girls”. Excavations in Pompeii have also
revealed several statues of Venus whose attires closely resemble what can easily
pass as this particular swimsuit today.
The bikini, however, has been said to be formally introduced in the year 1907
when an Australian performer was arrested by police on a Boston beach, on the
charges of wearing a tight one-piece swimsuit which was improper beach attire.
The trend caught up and became fashionable by 1910. Carl Jantzen was the first
to come up with a form fitting two-piece swimsuit for Olympic swimming in 1913.
By 1930 necklines plunged both ways, sleeves vanished and sides were sliced
away. Hollywood immortalized this form of BH in many films. The real glamour
came to it when Esther Williams wore costumes as ‘Double Entendre’ and ‘Honey
Child’ in a movie. By 1934, new materials were experimented with like nylon, and
even latex. The bikini became more figure hugging. By 1940s, it was a craze to
watch Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Esther Williams and Ava Gardner in this
swimwear. In Makeup and bikini, they appeared like goddesses, and men really
worshipped them. There posters sold like hot cakes!
It was the year 1946 when the modern bikini met the world. It was invented by a
car engineer! Louis Reard and Jacques Heim (a fashion designer) were working on
a new costume to be worn on the beach. Reard said that his inspiration came
from lingerie. He marketed his suit as “smaller than the smallest swimsuit”. He
named his suit the ‘bikini’ because he hoped it would create the same awe and
excitement as America’s nuclear bomb on Japan. The term bikini comes from the
group of islands called ‘Bikini Atoll’ where the nuclear bomb was first tested.
There are many variations of this suit like the monokini (topless), tankini (with a
tank top), seekini(transparent), hikini etc. One also finds the variant ‘string bikini’
to be gaining much widespread popularity than any other version.

6. Jingle Bells
With the largest number of disciples, Christianity is the most widely followed
religion in the world. December is the reason to celebrate for all Christians. It is
their happiest time of the year. Not only is it the time for snow and sweaters and
Tørklæder. It is the time for Christmas. The 25th of December is celebrated
every year as Christmas. It commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of
God. Christmas is time of great enjoyment. Especially for the children. They can
wish all to their heart’s desire and they will hardly get a ‘no’ in response. It is the
time of giving and gifts.
Speaking of gifts and Christmas one is invariably reminded of Santa Claus. Santa
Claus is actually named after Saint Nicholas who wore the
robes of a bishop. In modern times, Santa is depicted as a
plump, white bearded and good spirited man wearing a red
coat with fluffy collar and cuffs and red trousers also with
white cuffs. He also wears a big black leather belt and high
leather boots. This image of Santa is particularly popular in
The USA and Canada, popularized by popular culture and
folk, TV, songs, radio and print media. The British have their
own counterpart of the American Santa Claus. They call him
‘Father Christmas’.
The most narrated and popular of all legends associated
with Santa Claus is that he lives in the far north. By far
north, one means the North Pole! It is said to be
perpectually snowing over there. Santa lives there with his missus and spends a
quiet life. But it’s all busy-busy-busy during the winter. Santa and his army of
numerous magical elves start working day and night packing gifts and presents
for little children around the world. Santa then gets on his magical super-fast
sleigh drawn by eight flying reindeer. He showers gifts upon all children the whole
night. Santa is said to have a list of ‘naughty’ and ‘nice’ children. Children are
supposed to hang Strømper over the mantelpiece and keep a glass of milk and
cookies for Santa. When Santa comes down the chimney he leaves toys and
candy for the ‘nice’ children, but leaves coal in the socks for the naughty ones
urging them to become nicer. This goes on the whole night of Christmas Eve.
