Actions
   "In the past I never would be caught dead in a bikini." the stylish office worker recounts on a fine summer day. "But this year I went out and bought myself the smallest bikini I could find. The bottoms adjust on the front (1) and the bandeau twists on the top (2). And I wear it anywhere and everywhere on the beach. I mean even up to the snack bar and out into the ocean...although I have to be real careful it doesn't wash off. I guess, well, I'm over 30 you know and I'll be dammed if these young girls are going to out do me."

Commentary
   The strategy is timeless and applies just as much to early 1960s as it does this summer. It is about finding the youth edge and raising the bar.
