What's better than one girl in a bikini? Hundreds of them! And who better than Bikini.com to record it for history's sake! Cosmopolitan magazine photographed hundreds of bikini-clad women last Friday at its first-ever Cosmo Bikini Bash. More than 300 women were formed into the word 'COSMO' in Miami Beach, setting the record for the largest US swimsuit photo shoot in history. Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Vincent Laforet shot the final picture from a helicopter above superhot Nikki Beach. The final photo from the Cosmo Bikini Bash (see 1st pic below) will be featured in the August 2008 issue of Cosmo.

Women 18-34 were invited to participate in this record breaking event, and some who showed up were far from the traditional 'swimsuit model' figure. But that was the empowering point -- that looking good in a bikini starts with the confidence to wear one. Of course, to the many lucky male onlookers who happened to pass by the photo shoot, it was a dream come true. Let's just say that the ratio of men to girls in bikinis was extremely favorable.

As professional bikini watchers, even we were impressed. We're the world's biggest beach party, and this was the biggest bikini photo shoot ever in the U.S., so how could we miss it?
