angie's virtual swimsuit museum

I am a huge fan of vintage bathing suits from the 40s & 50s and have collected them for years. I parted with some of my collection last year, but thought it would be fun to post them here for "eye candy" and research purposes. These are all SOLD or part of my personal collection. Swimsuits for sale will be in the regular categories. Enjoy!
