Brits say bye bye to the bikini an all over tan...

Updated: 2006-07-12 10:55 Influenced by the bikini’s 60th birthday, Yahoo! Search also surveyed who,
over the decades, are considered to be the ultimate bikini icons.
The results were dominated by uninhibited, confident women such as the Bond
babes; with the ultimate bikini icon of all time being Ursula Andress stepping
out of the sea in the Bond Film Dr No with 21% of the votes. She was closely
followed by another Bond babe, Halle Berry with 10%, holding the number two slot
in joint place with Marilyn Monroe.
Results hinted that people seem to consider the healthier, more rounded
female form to be the most attractive in a bikini with Pamela Anderson, Jane
Fonda and Bo Derek all coming top of their respective decades. "The image of
Ursula is iconic and has impressed generations of men and women for several
decades - however, it seems that the new way to show your body confidence is to
go completely nude in some cases! Maybe in 20 years time we might consider the
bikini as being really prudish - the same way that the Victorian bathing suit is
now viewed!," comments Lisa Rodwell, Marketing Director of Yahoo! Search.
