Recent developments... And spam

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Tue, 24 May 2011 13:10:00 +0000

A warm hello to everyone. I know it's been an awfully long time since I last posted an article. Some of you might have felt disillusioned, which is understandable. Truth is, this is a completely amateur blog; this means that I'm in no way affiliated with any company. I just like to wear microkinis,...

Alphamoda "Kythnos" and "Santorini" microkini bottoms

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 14:20:00 +0000

I know it's been a terribly long time since I last posted anything, but I don't buy tons of new swimwear everyday. Anyway, today I'll write a review of two new microkinis I bought. They are the Alphamoda "Kythnos" and "Santorini" bikini bottoms. Usually, I buy a complete set consisting of a top and...

Thonging V Social Hypocrisy... Once again

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Mon, 25 May 2009 10:46:00 +0000

On this blog, I have oftentimes written in defense of thonging for both men and women and have been quite outspoken in saying that yes, I do like to see a confident, good-looking man in a thong. I have also said (and, at the very least, tried to back up my words) that I don't think thonging can be...

"Thongs are gay" and "thongs are for sluts" - Says who?

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Sat, 09 May 2009 18:47:00 +0000

One of the most ignorant and idiotic remarks that keep popping up all over the internet is the claim that thongs are only suitable for gay men or for slutty women. In fact, it's practically become an almost dogma in almost all societies - no one will ever bother to give you any reason why it is so;...

Winter trip to Bansko, Bulgaria. What a disaster!

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:16:00 +0000

OK, this one has nothing to do with microkinis at all - it's strictly about travel and it's all about the hugely overrated ski resort of Bansko in Bulgaria. Me and my boyfriend went there for a few days after New Year's, since it's been touted as a fantastic resort, with serious investments from...

New Colleen Kelly collection

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:32:00 +0000

OK, I know it's been a really long time since I posted anything. What can I say, real life does tend to get in the way. Anyway, I noticed that Colleen Kelly has introduced its new collection for 2009. There are some designs I really like, such as the lamé magikini and the jungle flame microsling,...

Taking a break for a while

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:53:00 +0000

As I'm sure everyone understands, I, like everyone else, have an offline life too. I wish I could find the time to post more often or post about more topics relevant to my blog. However, I find myself in a situation where I'm too busy to post new material or bother to buy new swimsuits to write...

Just got back from Skyros...

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:21:00 +0000

Hi everyone. My boyfriend and I just got back from Skyros. Sorry, no pictures from him - he's a dyed-in-the-wool filmwaster and he's vowed that he'll be using film until the last roll of his favorite black & white stuff expires. Well, we went to Skyros for five days. OK, my hiatus from the...

Continuing my ruminations or... MySpace Blues

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:34:00 +0000

Picking up where I left off in my previous post, I have to say that I've often felt the weight of the onslaught of messages from a crowd of guys that hoped to be able to date me; some of them were particularly creepy, mind you. I'm pretty sure most girls out there know exactly what I mean: the...

Men and women in thong- and microkini-related internet communities

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:18:00 +0000

I've been watching the thong and microkini scene ever since I started wearing thongs on the beach some ten years ago or so. I've always been surprised and amazed by the fanaticism displayed by many members of the various thong- and microkini-related forums; perhaps unsurprisingly, those fanatical...

New colors from ALS Bikinis

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:42:00 +0000

I saw today that US-based manufacturer ALS Bikinis now offers all of its swimsuit designs in a comprehensive range of "limited edition" patterns, in addition to their already existing ones. I really liked the "fire fishnet". I'm pretty sure it would be incredibly hot with their 0331 g-string...

Agiokampos, Larissa

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:53:00 +0000

This time, I'm taking you away from Crete, as we're going further up north, in the region of Thessaly. Seeing that my boyfriend had some work to do in his homecity, I followed him and we took the opportunity to go swimming in some of the nearby beaches. OK, not so "nearby", actually; Larissa is in...

Falassarna, Crete

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:12:00 +0000

One of the most famous beaches in the region of Chania is Falassarna (you can also find it written as Falasarna). I'm going to say it yet again, of course, that thonging and topless sunbathing/swimming are permitted on practically every beach here in Greece - and, as I've mentioned before, I only...

Alphamoda "Antiparos" bottom and "Milos" top

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 11:35:00 +0000

I'll admit that Alphamoda is perhaps my favorite microkini manufacturer, for reasons I have already explained. When you get a great range of options, good quality and really good service at prices that won't break the bank, you just can't complain. Now, the designs I am reviewing are from last...

I think I've seen this one somewhere before

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:41:00 +0000

Today, a friend of mine who subscribes to spanish swimwear manufacturer The-Bikini.com's mailing list forwarded to me a notification he received of two new designs they launched recently. It's the "assymetric" string and a tank top and you can see them here. I like the sheer fabrics and all, but I...

Agia Marina Beach, Crete

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:40:00 +0000

Yesterday, I decided to go for my first swim this summer. The most convenient, as far as distance is concerned, beach is considered to be Agia Marina, about 6 km from Chania. The various travel guides will have you believe that it's a really wonderful beach etc. Well, like I said, it's convenient....

And my point is proven.

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:26:00 +0000

My "thongs, crop-tops, sexiness and feminism" article sparked the interest of some feminist trolls that decided to come over this way in order to badmouth me for promoting a certain "internalized image of an acceptable female form", because I mentioned that the hardline feminists don't care at all...

Thongs, crop tops, sexiness and feminism

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Tue, 27 May 2008 09:04:00 +0000

Last night, I rediscovered this article from the "Guardian" and thought it really does have a point. There seems to be a controversy, sparked by the publication of Ariel Levy's "Female Chauvinist Pigs", among feminists and "ordinary" women about whether dressing sexy, acting sexy, being sexy...

Preveli beach, Crete

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:23:00 +0000

This beach is on the south side of Crete (Greece's biggest island). You take the "highway" from Chania to Iraklio and, at the exit to Spili and Rethymno (NOT the first exit to Rethymno), you turn right. DON'T take the direction to Rethymno, but keep going right to Spili. At some point, further on...

Perivolos beach, Santorini

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Fri, 23 May 2008 08:31:00 +0000

Let's talk beaches, shall we? Now, I understand that thong-friendly beaches aren't in abundance in the US and even some exotic destinations have legislations that don't really encourage thonging, much less going on the beach in a microkini. Here, however, it's an entirely different story. A woman...

Men in thongs, g-strings and microkinis? Yes, please!

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:48:00 +0000

This is certainly something many people wouldn't expect. I often hear other women say "OK, I might wear a thong on the beach - a secluded one, of course - , but I don't want my boyfriend to wear one". When I ask them why, they start the same old rhetoric I'm really getting tired of: "oh, come on,...

Alphamoda "Mykonos" microkini bottom and "Kassos" microkini top

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Tue, 20 May 2008 12:54:00 +0000

Now, I'm going to write a few words on the bikini set I'm wearing on my profile photo, which is made by Greek microkini manufacturer Alphamoda, which makes both men's and women's swimwear. Alphamoda does not make bikini sets in which you get a package top and bottom deal, but, instead, lets you mix...

Microkinis are IN

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Sun, 18 May 2008 21:25:00 +0000

Regardless of what the fashion press keeps babbling about, microkinis are in. I really don't care who likes it and who doesn't - they just are. Just take a look at the multitude of microkini manufacturers all over the internet; if microkinis weren't favored by a considerable number of people, do...

Wicked Temptations Metallic Chip G-string set (discontinued)

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Sat, 17 May 2008 17:00:00 +0000

One of the microkinis I bought last year was a - now discontinued - metallic chip g-string set from well-known manufacturer and online reseller Wicked Temptations, because it appealed visually to both me and my boyfriend. In fact, I do think that the teardrop is one of the sexiest shapes for...

Colleen Kelly Lace Winged One-Piece microkini

noreply@blogger.com (Danae Microkini) — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:06:00 +0000

I've been wearing thongs since I was 20. I've always loved their look and feel. Plus, I've always thought that I should show off my body while it looks good. As microkinis (also called micro bikinis) started to become more popular and widespread, my interest in them grew. However, for various...
