Here it is at long last. The winter drought is over. Say goodbye to snow plows, ice storms and wind chill factor higher than your SPF. Today marks the one week point until the new issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011 is in our sandy little hands. February 15 to be exact, with pre-order available over at B & N.
And those caring adorbs editors over at SI know that waiting is so very hard to do. So, they have packaged up 17 of the planet’s most perfect number 10 + women, put them in or out of the tastiest bikinis, and splashed their absofreaking gorgeousness all over paradisical locations such as Hawaii (of course!), Fiji, Singapore, Philippines and the British Virgin Islands.
Run this 34 second video a few times and you’ll have more confirmation that winter is truly over than that pesky Punxatawny Phil could ever provide as a predictor!

Jalee Fusilier, Miss Hawaii 2011, reigned over the other 52 contestants Saturday night and took the Best in Swimsuit category in the Miss America pageant.
Is it any wonder? She is 1) from Hawaii, 2) gorgeous in a bikini, and 3) from Hawaii!
Co-Host Chris Harrison informs us that at the Miss America Pageant we celebrate “health, fitness, self confidence, and — can I just say it? — looking good in a really tiny swimsuit.”
Jalee did not disappoint.
For the 90th anniversary of the annual contest, she stood out head and shoulders in a smouldering black bikini by Swim n’ Sport and towering nude patent leather peep-toe heels.
For a wahine from Haleiwa it was as natural for Jalee to be seen strutting in a bikini as for the other girls to be wearing jeans.
Relaxed, toned and beaming her 1000 kilowatt smile, Jalee was the picture of natural beauty–a true island beachgirl!

Here comes a Hawaiian beachgirl secret. Oil. Enough said.
If you have not discovered or stockpiled an arsenal of these Polynesian oils, then get going!
Kukui nut oil, coconut oil and monoi (coconut oil and tiare (jasmine)-you just gotta have them all.
Use them in the shower, in the bath, on dry skin, on your hands and feet, and in your hair. Kind and gentle to the most delicate of skins, even babies soak the stuff up.
Known for their healing and soothing powers as well as super-hydrating quality, sunburn, skin irriations, scrapes and even pesky acne are no match for their effects.
Monoi Tiare Tahiti make a ‘cosmetic oil consisting of pure coconut oil and the fragrance of tiare, the Tahitian Gardenia. The product is a refinement of an ancient Polynesian beauty secret and has been manufactured commercially since 1942. Centuries ago the people of Polynesia discovered that pure coconut oil is an essential secret for beautiful skin and hair. Coconut oil is a natural replacement for your body’s skin and hair oils. The coconut oil used in Monoi Tiare Tahiti is so highly refined that it is quickly absorbed by your skin. ‘
Oils of Aloha make the best kukui–with or without a scent. A little dose will go a long way so go easy on the squeeze. Even Kikidoll’s pupster gets some on his paws or when he tangles with a sea urchin.
Keep your skin moisturized, your hair conditioned and your cuticles at bay. Slather any or a combo of these oils on while still damp from swimming or bathing and you will never see flakey skin again.
Add to those oils the divine fragrances of gardenia, pikake or plumeria and paradise is just a sensory moment away.

Back in late summer, to kick off her Cruise line, Kikidoll launched 21 Hawaiian-printed string bikinis from her new 2011 collection inside sea-going bottles. Ergo, Bikini in a Bottle.
Using ancient tidal current maps, these beachy emmissaries were sent on their way into the big blue Pacific. Landfall was expected anywhere from 60 to 90 days–um, so right about now.
Assuming the giant squid can’t unseal the corks, and that mergirls don’t wear strings (fins in the way!) , Kikidoll expects some, if not all, of these to find their way onto beaches globally.
So button up your overcoats if you are north, pull on a tank if you are south, and get out there on your local beach for a stroll. Take an empty trash bag with you and pick up the flotsam and jetsam you see along your search; pocket an empty shell or two. Breathe in deep that mystical combination of seasalt and ozone.
And find a bikini–it’s yours, if you do!
Send us back photos and we will add them to the corkboard.
Happy hunting.
Recently Kikidoll has received some holiday snaps from various loyal customers on holiday wearing items from her 2010 collection Signature Shell.
With this collection nearly sold out–only the Monster Leaf and Bamboo patterns remain in string bikini styles–and poised to launch the new 2011 Honolulu Honi collection any day now with the release of the newly designed website, Kikidoll is happy to see these teeny pieces travelling far and living the good life from the beaches of Southern California to the Indian Ocean.
Just in from a glamorous honeymoon in the Seychelles, Pink Multi Shell bandeau made an appearance and seemed perfectly paired in that tropical splendor. Just luscious.
Send any pics you have of yourself wearing Kikidoll and they will be added to this collage, with a 10% gift certificate sent for your efforts!
Kikidoll on the road, over and out!
