PERM-ADISE

We’ll consider this do anextremeversion of beach waves — and in 1979, a 21-year-old Brinkley pulled off the look with ease on the shores of Cancun, Mexico. While that do may not be in anymore, that mesh one-piece sure is.

BLONDE AMBITION

We bet this sunkissed 1979 photo of Brinkley (also in the Seychelles) inspired many to hit the sink, peroxide in hand.

TAKING THE PLUNGE

Pre-Baywatch,Brinkley wore the hell out of a red one piece (seen here shooting for the 1980 issue in the British Virgin Islands).

CAPTIVATING IN CAPTIVA

Brinkley’s naturally gorgeous, but we bet those birds got put through a slimming Photoshop filter.

BUTT OUT

We can’t imagine sitting bare-bummed on a bed of sea shells is comfortable. But than again, when you’re wearing basically dental floss (as seen on Brinkley in Captiva), you’re not in it for the comfort.

LADY IN RED

Part wetsuit. Part unitard. Part one piece. We’re not really sure how to describe the hooded situation Brinkley wears on the shores of Kenya for the 1989 issue.

ABS-OLUTELY AGELESS

When she wasn’t wearing polarizing hooded maillots, Brinkley went simpler for the 1989 issue in this totally ’80s bandeau style.
