I sing. I love to sing. I sing every day and sometimes I don't even realize I'm singing. As a kid I never thought I could or would be a professional singer. In fact, I was taught in the traditional surroundings that I grew up in that God gave me my voice so it wasn't right to charge someone to hear it. I can't begin to go into how I got over that and became okay with being paid as a singer.
I feel like it should be springtime when I see Sheneka in plaid and cutoffs. Obviously Mother Nature feels different because its still 40 degrees outside. Here's the first drop of Sheneka's new exclusive set courtesy of Visual Cocktail.
What are the hottest swimsuit trends you'll see in 2011? Here's the eagerly awaited Bikini.com trend report on the most eye-catching looks that'll hit the beach this season.
It may feel like winter, but bikini season is right around the corner. Bikini.com scoured the designer runways to report on the most cutting edge looks for the coming year. Here's a countdown of the top 11 swimwear trends to keep you (or your girlfriend) looking "bikinirific" at the beach this season...
1. The "Bottom Line" – What's the top trend? Detailing on the derriere. Whether you're built like Kim Kardashian or just want to look that way, strategic ruching and subtle stitch details can add oomph to what you already have and flatter and enhance what you don't.
2. Retro Glam – From debutantes of the 50's to Mad Men of the 60's and Studio 54 disco divas of the 70's, today's ultra-glamorous women are looking to the past for inspiration. High-waisted, two piece swimsuits figure prominently in this elegant vintage trend.
3. World Safari – Break out your passport, the tribe has spoken. Designers featured all kinds of hot ethnic looks with Native American, Moroccan, Aboriginal Australian and especially African inspiration. It's exotic sex appeal for citizens of the world with a fun sense of adventure.
4. Sparkle -- This season, give 'em the old razzle dazzle with studs, beads, sequins, rhinestones and any other kinds of embellishment that add splash to a swimsuit. Whether you're a Jersey Shore fan or a Las Vegas showgirl, there's a sparkly, showstopping look for you.
5. The Gold Standard -- Glamorous metallics in glossy high-tech fabrics are a luxurious trend worth mining. This season's swimsuits are dripping in gold, bronze and copper, giving every beachgoer the Midas Touch.
6. Boudoir Chic -- Break out the satin sheets: From bras to bustiers, racy-lacy swimsuits in everything from soft pastels to black lace are taking lingerie from the bedroom to the beach.
7. Software with Hardware – Swimsuits are held together this season with prominent metal buckles, buttons and rings that add a luxe, jewelry-like accent to sleek designs.
8. Shiny Happy Prints -- Playful paisleys, groovy geometrics, and fun flowers and fruits in eyecatching, vibrant bursts of color provide an antidote to minimalist and monochromatic looks. These bold, bright patterns give everyone the opportunity to break out and have fun with their swimwear.
9. Wild Thing – Animal prints manage to be both a trend and a timeless classic. Leopard, tiger, crocodile, python and even peacock can bring out the sexy wild thing in you.
10. Americana – From crisp and chic nautical stripes to preppy madras, collegiate looks and sweet summer gingham, this season's swimsuits are as hot as apple pie.
11. Peekaboo – Naughty meets nice with monokini cutaways and strategically placed cutouts that emphasize the feminine form and show off a body to its best advantage. Keyholes, bondage strips and see-through bands of fabric give a "peekaboo" effect that will definitely set you apart from the crowd.
That's Bikini.com's bottom line on the top 11 swimwear trends for 2011!
