Premiere Issue Collectors Edition
G足String.. A Bikini Runway Show June 201 3
Welcome to the Premiere issue of Bikini Magazine, where our motto is… If you’ve got it, flaunt it !!!! We’d like to thank you for taking time to look through this new venture. We hope you enjoy it and come back to look at many more future issues. Bikini is going to be a bimonthly magazine, with the next issue hitting the stands the first week of September. The focus of Bikini is to show off anything and everything associated with the mystical BIKINI. This includes showcasing designers, photographers and models in the industry. In addition, we are pleased to announce that Christina Moreno, fashion writer with our sister magazine, Vedere, has joined Bikini and will be gracing our pages with her thoughtful and insightful articles ranging on styles, prepping for bikini season, the new fascination with pool clubs, and much, much more. So keep an eye out for her first article with us in the September issue. In each issue, we want to present to you two designers, and showcase their work so that you can have the opportunity to purchase and wear their inspiring designs wherever you may be located. We also plan on showing off the talent of two photographers from around the globe who specialize in bikini photography, and in conjunction with that, we’ll highlight three bikini models each issue, with one being chosen for the coveted center layout and 2 page spread. We would also like to cover any bikini events, either local or around the globe and display these fun happenings for all to see. And speaking of seeing… we have a page set aside for YOU our readers… send in your images to the What do YOU do in YOUR bikini album on our FaceBook page. https://www.facebook.com/bikinimagazineus As you can see in this issue, we stayed local and exposed you to two very wonderful designers based here in Arizona. We introduced our staff photographer and showed off three lovely ladies who we think look amazing in their bikinis. We are taking submissions for future issues, and our email is already filling up. So don’t delay, visit our web site for submission guide lines and we look forward to seeing your images in Bikini Magazine. www.thebikinimagazine.com

Collections by Collins, an Arizona based swim suit company was started last summer the by mother and daughter team of Cindy and Bree Collins. Cindy, a seamstress who has sewn for over 30 years, presented the idea of custom swimsuits to her daughter Bree who had been modeling swimwear for several years. Bree leapt on the idea with enthusiasm and confidence, so the pair was off to a great start with inspiring combination of talent. The bikinis and mono足kinis the Collins duo has created are one of kind and unique, leaving a lasting impression on not only the wearer, but also the viewer. They strive to make a statement with their accents, accessories, jewelry, bold colors and fabric combinations. In just a short time, Collections by Collins has been featured in Vedere magazine, along with participating in RAW Natural Artist Showcase and were nominated as their designer of the year for 2012. During the 2013 season Collections by Collins have linked up with 7th Heaven Boutique, selling out of their Scottsdale location and are also involved in their fashion shows held at the Spanish Fly Beach Club. The company looks forward to many more successful years to come.

What is Tastie Brands…..? I get asked all the time. There are so many answers in which to respond to this

This is a Tale of a life’s journey. Places I have travelled, things I have seen and the people I have met along the way. Some with lasting impressions seared into memory like a branding iron. Others, just another face in the crowd. The snow on the TV of life. The countless trips to copper canyon! If you have been you know what I am talking about. If you have not might I suggest a trip. When I started Tastie Brands I wasn’t sure what to expect or even where it might go. I let Tastie go where it gets pulled, there are no business partners no silent investors just me with my sewing machine and silk screen press I am free to do what flows from my hands. It just happens to be some bad ass products! I do not intend or expect Tastie Brands to be for everyone, it is however for those that relate to it from modest to highly sexual and confident. My name is Adrian This is Tastie Brands! Enjoy the show! Life is a show and the world is my stage.
