From Bloomers to Bikinis! Womens Rights thru Swimwear

Thursday night Team Pompano Beach USA (Stephanie Caits and Yecenia Santibanez) along with Miss West Broward Teen USA Michelle Chaban assisted in a historic fashion show of women's swimwear. The swimwear collection spanned the ages at The International Swimming Hall of Fame on Ft. Lauderdale Beach. The evening culminated in special fashion show featuring our delegates and several swimmers from the Olympic development team. The collection was commemorating and celebrating 100 years of women's rights. How swimming has changed our culture and the status and image of women.

The evening was part seminar on the evolution and part display on the runway with authentic suits from the era. Ms. Caits modeled a vintage 1941 swimsuit worn by Esther Williams. Miss Chaban and Miss Santibanez then presented two turn of the century suits before hitting the Olympic speedo suits for the finale. What a fun evening it was! Thank you to Miss Pompano Beach USA Director Dana Klein for the invitation.

Even taking into account the fact that Ms. Caits clearly has a single-digit IQ, I would be interested in how she would support her claim that women's  swimwear somehow has a bearing on their "rights" and "status". Following that line of reasoning, wouldn't the rights of women be further enhanced by their being permitted to go topless on the state's public beaches?
