THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Modern, Skimpy Bikini Debuted at Paris Pool Fashion Show (1946)
Although women have worn bikini-like two-piece garments for centuries—mosaics from the 4th century depict women in such garb—the modern bikini was only introduced in 1946. Anticipating that his revealing swimwear design would have an explosive effect on fashion, French engineer Louis Réard named his skimpy suit after the Bikini atoll in the central Pacific, where US nuclear testing had just begun. However, he struggled to find a model to debut his G-string bikini.

I thought it a bit odd that the battle was celebrated

real bird reenactment
Not much into reanactment but IMHO that would be a waste of time. The battle was too mobile,chaotic, strung out and expansive to focus in all the places.Much better walking the battle field tour

My cousin's husband is a CW reenactor and the unit he is involveld with were extras in "Gettysburg".Not sure they got a cent,but not like a big role either but they have bragging rights

Damn that's revealing today - a scandalous femme fatale back then. And she has the shape to pull it off
