Bikini contests 80's/90's

[JPB2683]

Back in 1999 MTV aired a documentary called "Spring Break Uncensored". Like most MTV documentaries it was self-serving and self-promoting to generate interest in the upcoming Spring Break programming to air that year.

The one great thing about this program was a segment on the infamous 1993 Beauty and the Beach contest which featured the peak of early 1990s bikini fashions and attitudes. The girls wore thongs and slingshots and performed sexy and sleazy moves on basic cable that probably got MTV in hot water and forced them to produce tamer contest the following years.

I'd imagine most visitors to this thread have some memory of this contest; and in fact the last two segments of the finals were published on this thread back in 2011:

Anyway, I found the documentary on YouTube, edited it and saved a video file featuring the full segment on the 1993 contest. On the file it officially begins at 2:54 sec. I included the full segment because you can see brief snippets of vintage spring break bikini clips prior to discussion of the 1993 contest. This may not be popular with the thread participants, but I wanted the segment in its full context.

The full documentary is here:

The 1993 Beauty and the Beach contest included notable bikini contest circuit competitors and models such as Bonnie Takasy, Jennifer O'Brien, and Tiffany Cara.

Technical Note: Downloaded from YouTube, the framing in the video seem off. It looks like in certain shots there's not enough space between the top of the frame and the subject.

Technical Note: At MediaFire it lists the video as an audio file for some reason, but upload was a video and it will download as one.

Note: The documentary aired in 1999 but all content is late 80s/early 90s so I don't believe it infringes on the rules of this thread.

The first contestant's name is Bonnie. She was on MTV's Beauty and the Beach from 1993. She's also done bikini contests going back 1990. I have some on DVD. I'll have to upload them at some point.

Thanks, I had looked for that documentary a while ago but couldn't find it. I'm still holding out hope that one day the whole original show will surface one day in this thread.

I'm holding out hope as well.

But what I've found over the years is that the people who tended to record MTV programming focused exclusively on musical acts.

Outside of those two brief clips from the finals posted on this thread years ago, I have never been close to finding any one who's recorded all three of the 1993 episodes and I don't think I will.

after all these years I've finally seen part of the clip that has eluded me for years. The girl in the little skirt, frilly socks and heeled booties... I can see why Joey Lawrence went nuts.

Yes. Unfortunately they censored it by blurring out her crotch. Which, I don't remember that in the original broadcast. Maybe it was done in subsequent broadcasts.

Administrative/Biographical History:

Biker rallies seem to be the domain of the White working class; though not exclusively. While lowrider shows are a well-known part of the Hispanic-American or Chicano culture in the United States; but again, not exclusively. What these two events have in common though is that they can be a gold mine for photo and video content of wild bikini and wet t-shirt contests. Biker rallies usually focus on wet t-shirt contests that involve a range of women from all ages and sizes and tend to devolve into the contestants stripping off all their clothes and performing lewd and sleazy dance numbers on stage. Not that I’m complaining at all. The lowrider shows focus more on bikini contests with usually young, hard-bodied Hispanic women who seem to blend a spirit of competition with outright sexual exhibitionism. When you watch these contestants, you can tell they have a great desire to win but also really enjoy showing off on stage. Some of the best bikini contests I have seen in my years as a collector have come from the lowrider shows.

Lowrider Magazine began in 1977 out of San Jose, CA and published on all aspects of lowrider culture. And, it seems, a big aspect of this culture is stunning and sexy models who appear in the magazine monthly. Lowrider’s website is an extension of the publication and has section that contains videos that go back to the late 1980s. The videos were produced by the magazine as a highlight of lowrider shows they were covering; which mostly do not interest me. But, these videos usually contain at least one part that focuses on the bikini contests. The 1989 Lowrider Los Angeles Super Show was a part of a video called the Tri-City Tour and featured one of the best 80s bikini contests I’ve seen. I downloaded the full video from the website and edited just to get that contest.

Scope and Content:

The contest in the video runs about 12:50 and features 8 contestants who are not named or identified. It shows their brief introduction on stage, a round with each contestant stripping and dancing, a semi-finals featuring the last 4 competitors and offers them doing their best moves, and then a finals for the last two.

I could have sworn that a few years ago someone in this thread said they had it...

I wasn't mistaken, someone really did say they had it. Maybe he just couldn't find the tape, though.
