If Speedos are called "banana hammocks", then we propose that the teeny microbikinis featured here courtesy of the sartorial engineers at ALS Bikinis be referred to as "lip slings", perfect for the gal who needs a little extra support down there. And if that doesn't create the proper mental image in your head, then the extreme stubble-baring closeup shots should clear up any ambiguity as to what we're talking about. Is the shrinking bikini phenomenon yet another example of the dire effects of global warming? If so, we couldn't think of a better collection of, er, poster children for the cause.
