Bikini Model Heat Wave
By Paula Davis

The 3rd quarter of 2004 was filled with fashion shows and beauty pageants.

The Bikini season was in full swing for the season. The 2005 Swimwear Cruise Fashion Conference was held in Miami. Swimwear fans and retail vendors got to see some of the hottest bikini fashions the swimwear industry had to offer.

A cadre of Teen and Jr. Miss models from Wilhelmina Modeling Agency and Irene Marie Modeling Agency attended the show. Other modeling agencies also provided bikini clad models who wore popular swimwear by Salinas Swimwear, Body Glove, Daffy Waterwear, Esprit Beach, Hobie, Jag, XOXO, Ocean Avenue Swimsuits, Vix, Onda De Mar, Pompei Beach, Rosa Cha, Silver Swim, David & Goiath Swimwear, Surfside Bathingsuits, Ingear Fashions and more.. 

A new Ms Teen and Miss Florida were crowned in Palm Beach and a new Ms Teen and Miss Latina International were selected in South Beach. The pageant shows brought models and contestants from as far as Utah. Ritchie Swimwear provided some of the bikini fashions for the pageants. Latina models were the hot picks of the season. Popular Latina's sporting tiny bikini's kept the area's temperature well above the norm for the time of the year. 

Other events that kept the temperatures hot were the Billboard R&B Hip Hop Awards Show and the 2004 MTV VMA's. Fashion during these events were complimented by some of the most beautiful models in the industry. 

City Style will be holding their Fashion Show soon. And we won't miss the Bud Light Beach Volleyball Championships and the White Party, both of which bring the usual world-class fashion shows, performances and many of South Florida's most beautiful Models. - ArtsyStuff Magazine
