Won't catch me wearing a bikini shopping! Great find and nostalgic feel, well composed.

A fantastic find and superb composition. V

Love the clever way you presented this! And "yes" I do remember (early 60's) shopping in a bikini ..... except it was in shops that were adjacent to the beach :-)

J. Scott Coile		25-Feb-2013 15:28
I usually wear a cover up ;-)

I can't raise my hand for this one, but I do like the photo. :)

LOL ~ I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar scene at a beach somewhere in the world! Fun image Laine! :)

This is superb with the selective colouring. v

Yes, back in the 'olden days when I was growing up' many did. And I think I had a bikini like that too then!!

we are shopping in winter coats but not so cold today above zero

Nope - it's a bit too cold here, even in summer.

A real blast from the past. I like the old black and white photo with the pink retro sidebar. Wonderful find and capture. V.

Afraid not; but I did shop for bikinis and pastel-striped dresses as seen in this picture.
