Anybody willing to take a stab at the famous invention that debuted 30 years ago today?

Hint: It was named after the islands where the United States tested the nuclear bomb.

It must be a trick question. The bikini debuted a little earlier than 1979!

SUNDAY, JULY 5: DEBUT OF THE BIKINI

Profile America -- Sunday, July 5th. One of the most daring fashion
innovations ever was unveiled 63 years ago today in Paris. Designer
Louis Reard had his models display a skimpy, two-piece bathing suit
named for a Pacific atoll where the hydrogen bomb was first detonated
-- the bikini. Many considered the design scandalous and most viewed
it as a short-lived fad. However, bikini swimsuits -- now considerably
older than most of the people who wear them -- are still very much in
evidence on U.S. beaches. Bikinis and other swim wear are among the
items being featured this summer at the nation's nearly 47,000 women's
clothing stores, which have sales of more than $31 billion a year. You
can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census
Bureau online at www.census.gov.

It was a fabulous Independence Day . . why stop celebrating? . . it's gorgeous in New York City.

OK, that was 63 years ago. What debuted 30 years ago as your original post asked?

Next question:

Which came first, the time machine(A.) or the bikini(B.)?

A.

B.
"Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" is a novelty song telling the story of a shy girl in a very revealing bathing suit who stays immersed in the ocean water to hide from view. It was written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss and first released in June 1960 by Brian Hyland. Hyland's version hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 8, 1960 and also made the top 10 in other countries, including #8 on the UK Singles Chart. The female voice reciting the phrases beginning with "One, two, three, four" was Trudy Packer.

Fifty two years ago on this day something special was unleashed on the world also. July fifth seems to have been a busy day, it was in the year the '57 Chevy hit the roads.

Thirty years ago.....1979.....Hmmmm.....I would have probably been at a party consuming mass quantities at that time, in a field somewhere in NW Pennsylvania or SW NY State. Can't say as I would recall much from that particular day, of that period in my life. I would have to check in some archives.
