 | Bikini.com may be the world’s biggest beach party – but we think we may be spotting some even bigger beach party animals during the upcoming weekend of June 11-14 at The Hukilau in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. What’s the Hukilau? Well in old Hawaiian days, it was a traditional Hawaiian fishing festival, where a giant net was cast into the sea that the villagers pulled back to shore. It emphasized the spirit of family and community. This groovy modern day Hukilau is a net thrown out to the entire world, bringing lovers of “Mid-Century Polynesian Pop” and “Tiki” culture from all over the world together for a very special swinging weekend celebration. It's Tiki Geek Chic!

Organized by Tiki Kiliki (aka Christie White, but it’s so much cooler calling her Tiki), past events have been weekends full of entertainment and laughs. The crowd is full of beautiful girls in vintage Hawaiian outfits and guys in cool Hawaiian shirts and hats. (We’re not sure if they look like that all the time, but it sure is fun for a weekend.) Event highlights will include the surf sounds of Los Straitjackets, the Tikki Beach Boat Cruise, a presentation from Mai-Tai cocktail expert Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, a tiki art show, the annual pilgrimage to the world-famous Mai-Kai, and one of our favorite groups, The Intoxicators. If you can make it to Fort Lauderdale, you should not miss the Hukilau 2009-- we will be there with our flaming drinks and hula skirts on. For more information, check out The Hukilau.

American Idol finale gets a double dose of bikinis! |  |
 | The competition was definitely on during the finals of American Idol last night -- but not just because of the singing. Famed contestant Katrina Darrell (aka "Bikini Girl"), strutted her new and "improved" figure during the grand finale while singing an earnest version of "Vision of Love". Not to be outdone, American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, who had been clashing with Bikini Girl during the season, sprang into action against her nemesis, singing a far better rendition during the singing catfight. To further ensure that she showed Bikini Girl just who was the winner of their own little competition, Kara launched a personal wardrobe malfunction which allowed her to rip open her dress, showing off her own bikini bod (and may we say, not bad at all.) The normally outspoken judge suddenly became demure, and it was explained that she had entered this bikini contest for charity. Hey Kara -- we'll be happy to donate to the charity of your choice, if you model for Bikini.com. But based on last night, please don't write our theme song.
