What you can catch from the waves

Happy birthday, bikini! 
Charm asked Post readers to mark the bikini's birthday by sharing photos of the very first bikinis they saw, wore or stared at on the beaches of America in the late '40s. Join us as we sit back, light some candles on a cake and revisit the days when bikinis were brand new on the beaches and boardwalks.
