This campy beach shop, decorated with potted palms, the first Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and old Mr. America photos, is jammed with more than 5,000 bathing suits. If it's beachy, you'll find it here, and not just bikinis but tankinis, monokinis and thongs, as well as one-piece suits and skirted suits for the ultra-conservative. The main shop is on the second floor of a Dupont Circle townhouse, with a smaller outpost on nearby 15th Street. The selection features Ann Cole, Speedo, Calvin Klein and La Blanca, ect.
