The Texas woman who became famous after having an outburst on a plane last year seemingly came out as conservative-leaning on X this week. Tiffany Gomas, who was dubbed "Crazy plane lady" last summer after her July 2 flare-up went viral on social media, publicized her "anti-woke" views on X. On Wednesday, Gomas posted a mirror selfie of herself wearing a red, white and blue bikini while holding a can of Ultra Right Beer, an "anti-woke" company. "Wonder how many people I’m gonna piss off with this post," the Texas resident captioned the photo.

A mosaic from an Roman villa in Sicily depicts ten women wearing an ancient version of the two-piece bikini. Credit: TyB / CC-BY-2.0 / Wikimedia Commons It is believed that the bikini was a 20th century invention, but an ancient mosaic reveals women in Rome wore it while playing sports. The Villa Romana del Casale, located in Sicily, dates back to the early fourth century AD. Among the ruins, archeologists have discovered one of the largest collections of ancient Roman mosaics. All of them are surprisingly well preserved. One of the rooms of the villa is called Sala delle Dieci...

One birth of the bikini on Frenchwoman Micheline Bernardini‘s body in a photo shoot on July 5th, 1946, owes its then new name to the island where, four days earlier, America tested one of the first of the atomic weapons which still both terrify and (hopefully) stabilise the modern world. Robbie Robertson, one of my favourite guitarists, who was born on July 5, but in 1943, said: “You don’t stumble upon your heritage. It’s there, just waiting to be explored.” God Bless Beauty And The Fearsome Freedom To Enjoy It

Transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney was seen out-and-about in Los Angeles in a rare public appearance as she has kept a low profile since her disastrous advertising campaign with Bud Light.

Molson Coors, the owner of Miller Lite, is defending the marketing executives behind a recent TV ad that drew fury from some conservatives, warning that it will not tolerate personal attacks on its employees. The Miller ad, which aired in March for Women's History Month but has re-emerged online this week, disavows the brand's prior campaigns that relied heavily on scantily-clad women. Molson Coors chief marketing officer Sofia Colucci came under withering online personal attacks over the ad, and took down her social media accounts in the face of hysterical right-wing outrage. 'People can take issue with our ads or...

Indeed, the shocking footage features the mystery mischief maker walking nonchalantly through the terminal of an unnamed airport while sporting skimpy olive green swimwear and toting a backpack. However, while her itsy bitsy, teenie weenie airport attire may have left little to the imagination, she was still wearing a face mask in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration mandates, the Insta account — one of many posting the peculiar peccadillos of frequent flyers — observed. The Transportation Security announced in August that flyers who break mask mandates can be fined from $250 to $1,500. Meanwhile, when reached by The Post for...

On July 5, 1946, French designer Louis Réard unveils a daring two-piece swimsuit at the Piscine Molitor, a popular swimming pool in Paris. Parisian showgirl Micheline Bernardini modeled the new fashion, which Réard dubbed “bikini,” inspired by a news-making U.S. atomic test that took place off the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier that week. European women first began wearing two-piece bathing suits that consisted of a halter top and shorts in the 1930s, but only a sliver of the midriff was revealed and the navel was vigilantly covered. In the United States, the modest two-piece made its appearance...

Two German beach volleyball stars will boycott a tournament in Qatar over the nation's refusal to allow female players to wear bikinis on the court. Karla Borger, who won a silver medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and her doubles partner, Julia Sude, will not take part in the FIVB World Tour event in Doha as Qatar is "the only country" which mandates female players to wear shirts and long trousers.

Oh, you devil! A bikini model has claimed that Pope Francis’ Instagram account liked a racy photo of her dressed in stockings and suspenders. Natalia Garibotto, 27, said the pontiff’s verified Franciscus account was among the 133,000 that “liked” an image of her standing at a school locker with a white crop-top and a skirt barely reaching her behind. “My mum may hate my ass pics but the Pope be double-tapping,” the Brazilian joked with Barstool Sports, which also claimed to have seen the apparent papal seal of approval before it was removed.

A CONTROVERSIAL blogger has sparked outrage after saying women who wear thong bikinis "entice old men" and that it's their own fault they get perved on. American mum-of-four Lori Alexander, who blogs under the name The Transformed Wife, took to Facebook to share her view on the topic and insists that public swimming areas such as beaches, lakes, and pools are no longer safe places for kids as "there is way too much immodesty and nudity". In the outspoken post, the religious stay-at-home mum asked that young women not wear thong bikinis as they "look naked" from the back -...

In the days before you could order both groceries and magazine subscriptions online, it was damn near impossible to walk through a supermarket checkout line without seeing the term “bikini body” plastered on glossies at the newsstand. By today’s standards, strapping two pieces of material onto any body fits the bill, but a decade ago, the term was still reserved for only those with six-pack abs and not an inch of perceived bodily "imperfection" in sight. The definition was so narrow, the ideal so unattainable, that when actress and runway model Kate Upton appeared in a bikini on her first...

Gillette is making waves with a photo it tweeted of an obese woman posing on a beach in a bikini, with her curves and cellulite on full display.

It’s called the Pizza-Kini and it’s exactly what it sounds like: A $10,000 bikini made out of pizza. Yes, you read that price correctly. The ingenious/abominable creation, depending on whom you ask, comes from New York’s Villa Pizza Kitchen. In honor of National Bikini Day, the restaurant took their love of pizza to whole new levels, teaming up with a food stylist named Jessie Bearden on the bathing suit. ... Bearden handcrafts each Pizza-Kini, which accounts for its hefty prize tag. The trimming on the edges of the suit, for instance, is made from hand braided pizza dough. “There is...
