Leonardo Dicaprio's girlfriend, model Bar Refaeli is collaborating with the Hurley design team to create the perfect little black bikini. Refaeli announced her debut as a designer this morning on Fox & Friends, decked out in Hurley attire, naturally.

Refaeli, who was just on the cover of Sports Illustrated's 2009 Swimsuit Edition, says she's always been searching for the perfect black bikini -- until now! "Hurley's clothes and swimwear have a sexy and effortless look and feel, so when you wear it, you feel confident. I wanted to capture that with my version of the Little Black Bikini, and I am really proud of the final result."

A portion of the proceeds from the LBB will go to Boarding for Breast Cancer, a non-profit that seeks to educate young people about breast cancer.

The Hurley Little Black Bikini by Bar Refaeli will be available for $120 at Hurley.com and select retailers starting May 1st -- this Friday!

Tara Reid's 'Mantra' - Designing bikinis with beads

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Dresses


When we heard that Tara Reid was launching a clothing line, the following three thoughts came to mind:
  1. Will she proactively prevent the nip-slip to save other girls from the embarrassment she faced?
  2. Will there be anything that's not shiny?
  3. Will there be a beer cozie included free with purchase?

Bar Refaeli to be the face of Hurley

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


Bar Refaeli might be as well known for being Leonardo DiCaprio's sweetie as for her modeling career, but she's looking to change that. The Israeli model is set to be the face (and the body) in Hurley's upcoming campaign.

This October, most fashion mags you pick up will have an image or two of Refaeli wearing Hurley's Spring 2009 line of bikinis, sheer tees, and denim shorts. The images are meant to "illustrate a theme of a young woman's journey and discovery." We think it's more likely they'll illustrate Refaeli's sexy curves.

Passport Panties: Discreet emergency equipment for gals on the go

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Daily Obsession


Ladies, we think you'll agree that most of us have encountered a situation in which we could have used a fresh pair of panties handy. Perhaps your monthly visitor came a few days early and you're stuck at work, or you're on a trip and the airline lost your luggage (including clean undies).

Hot women in bikinis turn men into morons

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie


Ever been at the beach and wondered why your man was in a fog? Though normally quick witted, he suddenly can't string even the simplest sentences together without tripping over words -- he's indecisive, and his brain wanders constantly like he's been sneaking sips of whiskey. So what gives?

According to a recent scientific study, it turns out all the boobs are making him stupid. This probably isn't news to you, but now it's been proven officially in a report titled: "Bikinis Instigate Generalized Impatience in Intertemporal Choice." (Read: "Bikinis make dudes dumb.")
