Hawaii has a way of making you wear less swimsuit. It was there I bought my first bikini, as a 12-year-old, and I remember my mom saying “now remember, not everyone wears bikinis.” (She was wrong) (Times have changed) On my most recent sojourn to the aloha state, teeny weeny butt bikinis were all the…
