After much debating with myself, I decided hell why not, I’ll post them.<br />
These are spoilers by Apprentice, a spoiler provider who posts One Piece spoilers on a cellphone only forum.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, the only thing identifying him as the same poster is his cellphone model.<br />
Meaning, anyone with the same model phone could impersonate him… although that should end up having two different Apprentice posts, which hasn’t happened yet. And no one has attempted to do so yet either, making his posts fairly reliable.</p>
<p>But please be aware, even though he has provided accurate early spoilers for several month, I don’t usually use his spoilers until Nja or someone else confirms it a few days later, due to the lack of secured identity. Due to this nature I don’t consider his posts as reliable as Nja (who secures his handle with a tripcode), even if he has consistently provided real spoilers.   posted in scholarization.wordpress.com</p>
<p>Anyways, here goes.</p>
<p>Chapter 0<br />
Story takes place back when Roger, Gold Lion Shiki, Sengoku and Garp were in their prime, and Roger was captured.<br />
Back then Roger and Shiki were rivals. Hearing that Roger was captured, Shiki could not believe someone he considered his rival would be captured by the marines, and decided to find out the truth by inflitrating Impel Down himself.<br />
But Gold Lion was captured. He cuts his own legs off to escape.<br />
Back then, Sengoku was an Admiral, and the top was Fleet Admiral Kong.</p>

<p>Law le dice a su tripulación que consigan una embarcación que se va, Pienso que está en camino a la guerra. Urouge sólo dice vámonos. Drake o Kid. No recuerdo cuál, dijo algo como Barbablanca nunca vendería a su gente&#8230;Él es la leyenda viviente más fuerte, nunca haría tal cosa. Entonces se va.</p>

Law tells his crew to get the ship going, I think he&#8217;s headed to the war. Urouge just says let&#8217;s go.<br />
Drake or Kid, I don&#8217;t remember which one, said something like Whitebeard would never sell out his people&#8230; he&#8217;s the most powerful living legend, he would never do such a thing. Then walked off.<br />
I don&#8217;t think Capone was in the chapter. He may have been, but if he did, I don&#8217;t think he had a line.</p>

Nja confirmed the spoiler by Apprentice.</p>
<p>The rookies (supernovas) shown were: Urouge, Apoo, Kid, Drake, Bonney, Law, and Hawkins. They are headed to the warzone.<br />
Oars recovers, Luffy heads straight into the three Admirals, and Whitebeard &#38; Jozu are up to something.</p>
<p>The colored cover is Luffy&#38;co, but without Nami. It may be from the movie 10.<br />
They are wearing black outfits.<br />
Additional Nja bits<br />
At least Urouge and Law seemed to be headed out on their ships.<br />
The woman (Bonney?) was crying the whole time, perhaps something to do with Whitebeard.</p>

Meanwhile Luffy is riding the tidal wave created by Jinbei to arrive at the execution stand, but the three Admirals blocks his way. Aokiji says &#8220;It&#8217;s not time yet&#8221;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>While looking for a new swimsuit for my upcoming Carribbean vacation, I&#8217;ve come across a number of Retro style swimsuits. According to Swimco, a Canadian swimwear retailer, <a href="http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&#38;q=cache:DxXW0lJlBI0J:www.swimco.com/pdf/PR_Retro_Jan_08.pdf+%22retro+modern%22+swimsuits&#38;hl=en&#38;gl=ca&#38;sig=AHIEtbR8oHNYTHW1x1PmmBlX3dwEEze4WA" target="_blank">retro-modern </a>is a term used to describe today’s styles that carry us back into the glamour and class of days past, while providing today’s women with well-fitting feminine swimwear. Common elements of retro styles include lower cut heights, ruffled fabric, broad straps and basic colours that almost any woman can wear. Inspiration of this trend can be seen in designers such as <a href="http://www.jantzen.com" target="_blank">Jantzen</a> and Michael Cors.  Here are a couple of swimsuits from the 1950s &#8211; classy, feminine and flirty.<br />
<a href="http://somecappuccino.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vintage-swimsuit1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-147" title="vintage-swimsuit" src="http://somecappuccino.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vintage-swimsuit1.jpg?w=203" alt="" width="203" height="300" /></a>  <a href="http://somecappuccino.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pan-american1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-145" title="Pan American" src="http://somecappuccino.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pan-american1.jpg?w=246" alt="" width="246" height="300" /></a><a href="http://somecappuccino.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/swimsuit-jantzen-ad-19551.jpg"></a></p>
<p>What I love about retro modern swimsuits is that they take us back to an era of nostalgia where women were potrayed as these &#8216;vixens&#8217;, an image of classic timeless beauty.</p>
<p>Retro style swimsuits come in neutral colours (great for concealing figure flaws) or bright hues which give you an elegant youthful look. I&#8217;ve fallen in love with Jantzen collection but don&#8217;t know where to find them in the GTA area yet. In the meantime, I think I&#8217;ll visit <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/category.jsp?popId=CLOTHES&#38;navAction=jump&#38;viewall=true&#38;isSortBy=true&#38;pushId=CLOTHES-TRAVEL&#38;id=CLOTHES-TRAVEL-SUN&#38;cm_re=Nov_09-_-111009_homeandaway-_-img_sunsand" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a> and <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/category.jsp?popId=CLOTHES&#38;navAction=jump&#38;viewall=true&#38;isSortBy=true&#38;pushId=CLOTHES-TRAVEL&#38;id=CLOTHES-TRAVEL-SUN&#38;cm_re=Nov_09-_-111009_homeandaway-_-img_sunsand">Bikini Village </a>for similar styles. Here are some of my favourite pieces. I can&#8217;t wait to try them on.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is the current opening sequence for the One Piece Anime, beginning from Episode 426.</p>
<p>I find this song extremely catchy. The visuals match very well too, especially at the sentimental bridge:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nå sitter jeg og ser på onepiece drakter på nettet. Jeg har alltid syntes at de ser litt harry ut, og jeg synes fortsatt det, men de ser også utrolig deilige ut. Perfekt for hyttetur og som kosedress, tenker nå jeg.<br />
<a href="http://theasuperhero.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this_is_england1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-520" style="border:black 1px solid;" title="THISISENGLAND_quad_new" src="http://theasuperhero.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this_is_england1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="220" /></a><br />
I dag var det fagdag i engelsk. Det var egentlig ganske greit, siden vi fikk se på film.<br />
Vi så på &#8220;This is England&#8221; og den var faktisk ganske spennende. Og litt trist. Og morsom.<br />
Har du sett den kanskje?<br />
Etterpå skulle vi skrive et &#8220;film review&#8221;, og det tok lenger tid enn Mia og jeg beregnet, så i de siste minuttene ble det virkelig hastverk. Men vi fikk levert, og jeg tror det gikk greit.<br />
Jeg ble også møtt hjemme med engelsk skriftlig karakter, og den sa 5! Ah, ihverfall noen fag jeg får til på skolen atm.</p>
<p>Dagen i dag har som sagt gått til skole, men jeg har også vært sammen med Mia (en annen Mia), og det var såklart megakoselig. Vi fikk oppdatert hverandre om alt mulig sladder siden vi går på hver vår skole, og vi spilte en haug med spill. Savner å ha så lite tid med venner, virkelig.</p>
<p>Nå er det snart slutten på november allerede, og det er på tide å tenke på julegaver. Lurer på hva jeg gjør i år&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Australia has 34,218 kilometers of coastline, and more than 60% of us live on the coast, or in surrounding cities. It is inevitable, then, in our climate that at some stage during our summer we pay a visit to the beach. Which brings up the issue of this season&#8217;s swimwear.</p>
<p>The Australian market is infiltrated with swimwear come spring and summer, however, though the threat of international competition is constant, Australian swimwear delivers. We know our climate and how this translates to the wearer&#8217;s needs. We are not just on top of fashion trends &#8211; we ARE fashion trendsetters, creating unique garments each season that are informed by our culture and style, not that of overseas. And because of this, many of our brands have gone on to considerable international success.</p>
<p><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/wp-admin/www.zimmermannwear.com" target="_blank">Zimmermann</a> was founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann. Their vision encompasses &#8220;sophisticated femininity, strong silhouettes, clever colour combinations and delicate original prints.&#8221; This vision stands true even to this day, nearly eighteen years on; their Summer Swim Collection 2009/10 &#8216;Thorn&#8217; is a winner, with stunning colour combinations, vibrant fabrics and beautiful tailoring, including corset details, cut-outs and frills.</p>
<p>The bikini standouts are the &#8216;Thorn Corset Bikini&#8217;, featuring a cropped-corset style bustier in the most beautiful of fabrics, &#8216;Chelsea Frill Corset Bikini&#8217;, a similar longer-style top covered in frills in the most adorable sorbet colours, and the &#8216;Papillion Cut Out Neck Bikini&#8217; a true structural standout on the beach, featuring a lattice detailed neckline in both a black and patterned rose-toned print.</p>
<div id="attachment_200" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cutoutrose4_33.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-200" title="cutoutrose4_3" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cutoutrose4_33.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from Zimmermann Australia</p></div>
<p>My heart is also divided when it comes to one pieces in the &#8216;Thorn&#8217; collection &#8211; &#8216;Outlaw Tie Back 1pc&#8217; features a retro map print and several ties along the spine. The &#8216;Nightshade Tea Rose Lattice Tank 1pc&#8217; is of a modest cut, but of amazing detail &#8211; with a beautiful tea rose print in peach and cream on a dark background, and lengthwise cut outs, held together by contrasting tan lattice-like stitching. The &#8216;Venom Acid Lilly Knot 1pc&#8217; is surely the standout of the collection, featuring a fairly standard outline till one notices the midriff &#8211; the cossie is in two parts, knotted together. The fabric is also outstanding; white with a lilac lily print.</p>
<div id="attachment_201" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/show-outfit-7_13.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-201" title="show-outfit-7_1" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/show-outfit-7_13.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from Zimmermann Australia</p></div>
<p>Zimmermann have showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York, and are stocked globally.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jets.com.au/" target="_blank">Jets by Jessika Allen</a> is a &#8216;premium luxury swimwear brand&#8217;. Nearly 30 years young, designer Jessika Allen came on board in 2001, with a design philosophy focusing on glamour, timeless and sophisticated elegance and the desire to make each woman feel beautiful.</p>
<p>The Jets by Jessika Allen 09/10 is indeed focused on glamour &#8211; with beautiful fabric and trims, and flattering cuts, it is designed to be worn, as opposed it wearing its owner. The designs take into account a wide range of women; there are many different cuts and shapes on offer, and some designs include bras, padding, additional straps and boning for a perfect fit.</p>
<p>Highlights include &#8216;Ethereal&#8217;, and accurately named one piece in a heavenly floral print with a plunging neck and ruffle detail,</p>
<div id="attachment_202" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 239px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jets4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-202" title="jets" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jets4.jpg?w=229" alt="" width="229" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from Jets Australia</p></div>
<p>and also the very cute &#8216;Denim Anthology&#8217;, a bikini in a patchwork denim/retro print with very cute denim briefs, and the matching cut-out one piece.</p>
<div id="attachment_203" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 239px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jets23.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-203" title="jets2" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jets23.jpg?w=229" alt="" width="229" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from Jets Australia</p></div>
<p>Jets is stocked worldwide in fashion boutiques and department stores, including Selfridges and Harvey Nichols in the UK, and David Jones at home, and also have a men’s range of swimwear.</p>
<p>The brand <a href="http://www.tigerlilyswimwear.com.au/" target="_blank">Tigerlily</a> was founded by Jodhi Meares in 2000, who is inspired by &#8220;her feelings on Australian women, and those that Australia’s beautiful beaches evoke in them… health, freedom and fun.&#8221; The brand&#8217;s vision is more abstract than many other designers, describing itself as &#8220;exotic and sexy but grounded&#8221;. This ambiguity has well served Meares and Tigerlily &#8211; each collection is large, including also clothing and accessories, and features many different prints and colour stories, from the standard, bright little bikini to more vintage inspired one pieces in wonderful fabrics you would not expect from the brand.</p>
<p>The Summer 09/10 collection is once again a large and various one.</p>
<div id="attachment_204" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tigerlily-bikini4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-204" title="tigerlily bikini" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tigerlily-bikini4.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from runwaygirl.com.au</p></div>
<p>The &#8216;Agulia&#8217; print, seen here in &#8216;Agulia Teanie&#8217; bikini, is a bright and tangy pattern, and also comes in a more generous bikini and one piece.</p>
<div id="attachment_205" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tigerlily-one4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-205" title="tigerlily one" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tigerlily-one4.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from runwaygirl.com.au</p></div>
<p>The &#8216;Boria One Piece In Cactus Flower&#8217; is a lilac and white striped one piece with a deep neckline and tassel detail. It also comes in a green/white variant.</p>
<p>Tigerlily is stocked nationally, as well as in New Zealand, Hong Kong and the Philippines.</p>
<p>Anna Hewett and Lill Boyd were both members of the Vogue Australia editorial team, when they decided to branch out into swimwear after noticing a lack of &#8216;inspiration&#8217; on the market, thus creating <a href="http://www.annaandboy.com/" target="_blank">Anna&#38;Boy</a>. Influenced themselves by &#8220;the liberated memories of childhood such as beach house wallpapers, seventies surf films and yellowed photographs that wistfully capture that time&#8221;, the design duo&#8217;s new collections for both women and men are eagerly awaited each spring. They promise &#8220;highest quality Italian fabrics, bold signature prints and unique detailing, coupled with a palette of brilliant and eye catching colours&#8221;, and consistently deliver on this promise.</p>
<div id="attachment_206" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/annabikini3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-206" title="annabikini" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/annabikini3.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from anna&#38;boy</p></div>
<p>Highlights of the Summer 09/10 range are the &#8216;Underwire Bandeau in Black Peach Pink&#8217;, a very cute (and very tiny) bikini with a strong structural colour blocked look, and the &#8216;U Wire One Piece in Black Peach &#38; Pink&#8217;, a one piece sharing the same look and colour way.</p>
<div id="attachment_207" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/annaone3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-207" title="annaone" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/annaone3.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from anna&#38;boy</p></div>
<p>Anna &#38; Boy are stocked in Australia, and internationally, including NZ, Indonesia, USA, UK, Dubai, Mexico, Mauritius, Maldives, Greece, and Switzerland.</p>
<p><a href="http://hotelbondiswim.com/" target="_blank">Hotel Bondi Swim</a> are relative newcomers on the scene, first showing at RAFW in April 2008. Its designers are couple Fern Levack and Damion Fuller, who met at the Bondi Hotel 10 years ago and have made this meeting their namesake.</p>
<p>Their design philosophy is a manifesto of sorts, stating &#8220;in Bondi bikinis are a way of life&#8221;, and that &#8220;every print and every bikini that is created by &#8216;Hotel Bondi Swim&#8217; is made especially to express the personality of this colourful and beautifully Australian backyard.&#8221; Their whimsical prints and bikinis have made them a new favourite with beachgoers, and their most recent &#8216;Peaches &#38; Cream&#8217; collection continues this allegiance.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Gnomes High Waist Bikini&#8217; is a retro style cut with a navel-height waistline and generous cut briefs. The top is a wide halter neck style. Its selling point, though, by far is the fun and playful print of garden gnomes, mushrooms and plants against a black background.</p>
<div id="attachment_208" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-bikini3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-208" title="hotel bondi bikini" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-bikini3.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from surfstitch.com</p></div>
<p>In the &#8216;Patches One Piece&#8217;, the print is once again the star, this time a multicolour cubist style with a predominantly pink background. It is a flattering cut, and the sugar-sweet neckline bow and button add an even sweeter touch.</p>
<div id="attachment_209" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-one3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-209" title="hotel bondi one" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-one3.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from surfstitch.com</p></div>
<p>Hotel Bondi Swim are stocked nationally and in the US.</p>
<p>Finally, an even new notable presence on the scene is that of <a href="http://seventhwonderland.com/" target="_blank">Seventh Wonderland</a>. Sydney based Bonnie Coumbe &#38; Carlos Aviles started the label &#8220;for those who aspire for absolute quality in unique, functional &#38; beautifully constructed swimwear, infused with a distinct look that embodies art, lifestyle &#38; romance.&#8221; With a background in textile design, the duo use Italian fabrics and employ techniques such as beading, smocking and pleating.</p>
<p>Their last two collections are structurally stunning, from &#8216;This Is Me&#8217; a bandeau bikini with a fascinating wide scalloped v-neck:</p>
<div id="attachment_210" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 208px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/seventh-bikini3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-210" title="seventh bikini" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/seventh-bikini3.jpg?w=198" alt="" width="198" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from thegrandsocial.com.au</p></div>
<p>To the elegant and unusual &#8216;Beau Monde&#8217;, a one piece with cut-out detail in a most delectable print.</p>
<div id="attachment_211" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 208px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/seventh-one3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-211" title="seventh one" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/seventh-one3.jpg?w=198" alt="" width="198" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from thegrandsocial.com.au</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Australia has 34,218 kilometers of coastline, and more than 60% of us live on the coast, or in surrounding cities. It is inevitable, then, in our climate that at some stage during our summer we pay a visit to the beach. Which brings up the issue of this season&#8217;s swimwear.</p>
<p>The Australian market is infiltrated with swimwear come spring and summer, however, though the threat of international competition is constant, Australian swimwear delivers. We know our climate and how this translates to the wearer&#8217;s needs. We are not just on top of fashion trends &#8211; we ARE fashion trendsetters, creating unique garments each season that are informed by our culture and style, not that of overseas. And because of this, many of our brands have gone on to considerable international success.</p>
<p><a href="www.zimmermannwear.com" target="_blank">Zimmermann</a> was founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann. Their vision encompasses &#8220;sophisticated femininity, strong silhouettes, clever colour combinations and delicate original prints.&#8221; This vision stands true even to this day, nearly eighteen years on; their Summer Swim Collection 2009/10 &#8216;Thorn&#8217; is a winner, with stunning colour combinations, vibrant fabrics and beautiful tailoring, including corset details, cut-outs and frills.</p>
<p>The bikini standouts are the &#8216;Thorn Corset Bikini&#8217;, featuring a cropped-corset style bustier in the most beautiful of fabrics, &#8216;Chelsea Frill Corset Bikini&#8217;, a similar longer-style top covered in frills in the most adorable sorbet colours, and the &#8216;Papillion Cut Out Neck Bikini&#8217; a true structural standout on the beach, featuring a lattice detailed neckline in both a black and patterned rose-toned print.</p>

The &#39;Nightshade Tea Rose Lattice Tank 1pc&#39; is of a modest cut, but of amazing detail - with a beautiful tea rose print in peach and cream on a dark background, and lengthwise cut outs, held together by contrasting tan lattice-like stitching. The &#39;Venom Acid Lilly Knot 1pc&#39; is surely the standout of the collection, featuring a fairly standard outline till one notices the midriff - the cossie is in two parts, knotted together. The fabric is also outstanding; a white with a lilac lily print.  image from Zimmermann Australia</p></div>

<p>The Jets by Jessika Allen 09/10 is indeed focused on glamour &#8211; with beautiful fabric and trims, and flattering cuts, it is designed to be worn, as opposed it wearing its owner.

<p>Highlights include &#8216;Ethereal&#8217;, and accurately named one piece in a heavenly floral print with a plunging neck and ruffle detail,</p>

This ambiguity has well served Meares and Tigerlily &#8211; each collection is large, including also clothing and accessories, and features many different prints and colour stories, from the standard, bright little bikini to more vintage inspired one pieces in wonderful fabrics you would not expect from the brand.</p>
<p>The Summer 09/10 collection is once again a large and various one.</p>

<p>Anna Hewett and Lill Boyd were both members of the Vogue Australia editorial team, when they decided to branch out into swimwear after noticing a lack of &#8216;inspiration&#8217; on the market, thus creating <a href="http://www.annaandboy.com" target="_blank">Anna&#38;Boy</a>. Influenced themselves by &#8220;the liberated memories of childhood such as beach house wallpapers, seventies surf films and yellowed photographs that wistfully capture that time&#8221;, the design duo&#8217;s new collections for both women and men are eagerly awaited each spring. They promise &#8220;highest quality Italian fabrics, bold signature prints and unique detailing, coupled with a palette of brilliant and eye catching colours&#8221;, and consistently deliver on this promise.</p>

<p>Their design philosophy is a manifesto of sorts, stating &#8220;in Bondi bikinis are a way of life&#8221;, and that &#8220;every print and every bikini that is created by &#8216;Hotel Bondi Swim&#8217; is made especially to express the personality of this colourful and beautifully Australian backyard.&#8221; Their whimsical prints and bikinis have made them a new favourite with beachgoers, and their most recent &#8216;Peaches &#38; Cream&#8217; collection continues this allegiance.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Gnomes High Waist Bikini&#8217; is a retro style cut with a navel-height waistline and generous cut briefs. The top is a wide halter neck style. Its selling point, though, by far is the fun and playful print of garden gnomes, mushrooms and plants against a black background.</p>
<div id="attachment_176" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-bikini1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-176" title="hotel bondi bikini" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-bikini1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from surfstitch.com</p></div>
<p>In the &#8216;Patches One Piece&#8217;, the print is once again the star, this time a multicolour cubist style with a predominantly pink background. It is a flattering cut, and the sugar-sweet neckline bow and button add an even sweeter touch.</p>
<div id="attachment_177" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-one1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-177" title="hotel bondi one" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hotel-bondi-one1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from surfstitch.com</p></div>

Sydney based Bonnie Coumbe &#38; Carlos Aviles started the label &#8220;for those who aspire for absolute quality in unique, functional &#38; beautifully constructed swimwear, infused with a distinct look that embodies art, lifestyle &#38; romance.&#8221; With a background in textile design, the duo use Italian fabrics and employ techniques such as beading, smocking and pleating.</p>
<p>Their last two collections are structurally stunning, from &#8216;This Is Me&#8217; a bandeau bikini with a fascinating wide scalloped v-neck:</p>
<div id="attachment_178" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 208px"><a href="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/seventh-bikini1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-178" title="seventh bikini" src="http://shoppingsmiles.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/seventh-bikini1.jpg?w=198" alt="" width="198" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">image from thegrandsocial.com.au</p></div>

<description><![CDATA[There are different types, styles, designs and variants of one-piece bathing suits such as monokinis]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>There are different types, styles, designs and variants of one-piece bathing suits such as monokinis, string bodies, sling bikinis, and halter-necks. Most of them are modifications of the two-piece Bikini bathing suit that came out in the 1940s. New styles of one-piece bathing suits are still growing in popularity.</p>
<p>Possibly the most common form of one-piece bathing suit is the tank suit. The term “tank” evolved from “swimming tank” – the old name for swimming pool. The tank suit has given way to the development of the ever popular tank top, and the tankini – a bathing suit consisting of a tank top and the bottom piece of the bikini.</p>
<p>Another popular one-piece bathing suit is the sling bikini. It has side straps that extend upwards to cover women’s chests, which then stretch over their shoulders and reach down the back to form a thong. The entire sides of the torso are revealed this way. So the sling bikini becomes a very convenient bathing suit by combining two elements (the top and the bottom pieces) into one.</p>
<p>The monokini was designed by an Austrian named Rudi Gernreich in 1967. It is a one-piece, topless bathing suit for women consisting of only the lower piece of the bikini. Gernreich took the term from “mono”-indicating single or one, and is another variant of the original two-piece bikini bathing suit. The term may also be used to refer to other one-piece swimsuits such as a sling bikini.</p>
<p>Other forms of one-piece bathing suits for women include string bodys, halter-necks, maillots, tank suits, plunge fronts and pretzel suits.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>OP 12</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/BNT8gPX_hwU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/BNT8gPX_hwU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Nooooo, no, that is just bad. Especially toward the end, the cheery song completely ruins the scene or messes it&#8217;s &#8217;serious&#8217; tone up. Now the song isn&#8217;t bad, the begining was fine with me when they were just animating the covers from the manga chapters, but when the opening switched over to Ace going to Impel Down and stuff like that&#8230;that&#8217;s when it got terrible&#8230; the song, like I said ruins the &#8217;serious&#8217; tone of that part of the manga and Anime. Toei Anim. has been getting complaints as well, jut shortly after the episode aired. I&#8217;m kind of hping the OP will change soon, but you really don&#8217;t have to watch it, just skip over it, but it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m watching the ONE PIECE anime anyways, I much prefer the manga honestly.</p>
