It's summertime, folks, which means funtime summery stuff like blankets, beach balls -- even bikinis -- get upgrades. Though not the first of its kind, the $190 Solestrom UV-metering bikini, which happens to look like something straight out of a Bond film, tells you where the sun's at on the UV scale from 0 to 20 and when you're done crisping -- which for pale n' pasty pushovers such as ourselves is pretty much as soon as we walk outside. And do deposit that wagging tongue, gentlemen; titillating though this post may be, we aim keep it clean 'round these parts.
