Miraclesuit Swimsuits are available in Popina’s Portland Swim Suit Boutique.  Miracle Suit has gained many tried and true customers by providing a Swimsuit with a built in girdle to back up their slogan “Look 10 lbs Lighter in Just 10 Minutes”.

For some Miracle Suits seem miraculous.  To many Miraclesuits are more than just a bathing suit.   Anyone with any body “issues” will know that a bathing suit is much more than something to swim in and that a good one is priceless.

If you fall in the hard-to-fit category (which includes many) or just want a swimming suit that you can feel really great about, then Miracle Suit is definitely the a good line to check out.  In Portland Miraclesuits can be tried on in person at our Swimwear Shop in NE Portland.

L*Space Swimwear has just arrived at Popina Swim in the Portland Swimwear Shop.  L*Space is a California based swim suit line that like Popina Swimwear produces all of their bathing suits in the United States.

Founder Monica Wise grew up in Ohio and moved to the beaches of Florida during her young adult years where she first expressed her interest in swimwear.  Her passion for the industry drew her to sunny California in 1997.  With a vision of staying focused on the hipster fit that the L*Space customers love, the Collection exudes a fresh, directional and outright sexy style.

Constantly recreating itself, L*Space is a collection of swimsuits that’s uncomplicated and effortlessly hip.

Retro Swimwear Photos where taken prior to the awesome Back Fence PDXevent at Tour de Crape on June 19th.  Back Fence PDX is an incredibly fun story telling event that occurs bi-monthly.  Typically when I think of storytelling I think of bearded old men rocking on their front porch telling stories that make you say by-gosh.  This is not Back Fence PDX, this event brings together a great variety of amateur, but mostly professional story tellers/writers who take turns telling very fresh, current stories.  The hosts of this production  Frayn and Melissa have very natural chemistry together, keeping the night moving forward, with a fun and smooth grace. 

I have finally had a brief moment to post some of the Retro Swimwear pre-show shots - Popina Swim, Portland’s Bathing Suit Boutique participated in a half time Retro Swimsuit show, hopefully someone who attended can send those shots on to me - I would love to see them!
