It might sound weird to some, but it's actually too goddamn hot to go swimming on this freakishly sweltering 4th of July-- *pants! But that ain't gonna stop me from enjoying (and sharin') the sizzlin' sight of a trio of sweet lil bathing beach beauties! This was a nice collection I spotted at an antique mall last week (didn't buy 'em, if you're wondering), and I just liked the way they were arranged in the case, along with that equally interesting painting leaned up there in the background. Unlike the rare, and much higher quality, earlier era bisque bathing beauties from Germany, these porcelain gals were made in midcentury Japan, and are somewhat common in this time zone, --though these three with their unique poses and lovely, glossy paint jobs were new to me! Post rounded out with an adorable old beach post card I found recently as well!

Concerning it being too hot to go swimming, I was at my local 7-11 and I overheard a customer say just that to the 7-11 manager, their pool water feels like warm bathwater. When summer temperatures make even swimming uncomfortable, you know its bad out.
I like the ceramic bathing beauties from days gone by, but with those prices its no wonder you said 'bye bye.'
For the guy drawn on the post card, the artist isn't Rudy Palais but the guy in the water sure sweats like one of Palais' characters.
