Among bikini designers, Beach Bunny Swimwear's Angela Chittenden (yes, she's also a model) has it easy. "I have a nice-looking group of friends," she says proudly, citing Playmate-customers Rhonda Adams and Nicole Marie Lenz, as well as supermodel Joanna Krupa. "I don't design swimsuits that will make my girls look better, because they're already hot. I'm not interested in tall and skinny. A voluptuous girl with boobs and a butt is what I think is beautiful. That's my taste, and I think that's 99 percent of men's taste." Amen, sister. Talking to Angela gives us the eerie sense of looking into a psychic mirror: Wow, she thinks about boobs and butts as much as we do. She's not quite as keen on nudity, though -- her bikini bottoms are called Brazilians (not the kind of Brazilian you're thinking of, though one would certainly complement the other), which means they're narrow but provide more coverage than an "up-your-butt" thong. She's really anti-thong. "They're good
for the bedroom, but I don't think they're too classy by the pool. They're very 1980s and tacky." She's insistent on opacity
as well, a trait most women like in a suit. Most but not all, as Angela learned recently: "This woman called us the other day, saying, 'This suit is too thick. I need a see-through suit.' She was doing a photo shoot in Beverly Hills. I said, 'Well, most girls don't want them to be see-through.'"
