THE ITSY-BITSY, TEENIE-WEENIE, WATER-MADE SEE-THROUGH BIKINI

Don't expect a dopey hit song about this bikini just yet. But a law student says the tiny red bikini she bought was a lot tinier than she thought.

As in, when she hit the water in it, the water made it see-through. And it embarrassed Thais Bittencourt-Camello when friends of the 23-year-old student pointed it out to her while they were snorkeling.

On the other hand, says Reuters, she did prove less was more. She sued the store which sold her the bikini, and a Rio de Janeiro court has ruled the store - Uva Verde - must pay her the price of the swimsuit and another $267 for "moral damages".

She testified she "scrambled" to cover her private parts, says Reuters, which "had never been seen by any man."
