Begin Again



Like a dirty joke with no punch line, or a rhyme with no matching pair, a bikini cannot be separated into a top and bottom and then mixed and rematched with any other separate.

A bikini is a bonded duality: it is always top plus bottom, it is never just a top or just a bottom.

However, it gives me great pleasure to imagine unexpected combinations of top and bottom. The fabric, pattern, texture and style could be varied to create a new thought—a Frankenstein’s monster or admixture that is as clever and shocking as seeing the beginning of one word attached to the end of another.

hi serg, sorry for not being able to catch up with you lately. college tasks have been keeping me quite busy nowadays :(

anyway, nice post as always. i'd love to see more unexpectable combinations of top and bottom of a bikini. i may try to combine a sleek black top with a leopard-print bottom. how's that sound?
