I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'

The HISTORYtrade; behind National #Bikini Day is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Bikini” (the |Swimwear named after the |Atoll where the U.S. had tested the Nuclear Bomb the week before the |Swim|suit was introduced) is built on ancient words that mean "Coconut-Surface" 
 (the comparison to the |swimwear's Explosive Effect on people's Libido, see also Bomb|shell). 
#BikiniAtoll #Trikini (held on with Velcro) #Monokini (the bottom- of the two-piece swimsuit, also based on the mistaken notion that "Bi-" was an individual element of the original word)

(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today

 about them) in the comments, thanks)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St Anthony Zaccaria & St. Elizabeth in Portugal, with the clergy wearing White Vestments in the Optional Memorials (Green Vestments otherwise).
