There’s so much construction that downtown West Palm Beach looks like a war zone, again.

But the place suddenly was beautified late Friday — and it didn’t cost the city a penny.

Twelve Elite and Wilhelmina swimsuit models gave about 500 local swells an eyeful on a 60-foot runway built outdoors near the French restaurant Pistache. The occasion: The unveiling of a line of swimwear dubbed Sex2Sea, “pretty enough for the bedroom, but made for the water.”

The lacy bikinis were designed by local entrepreneurs Christy Sugrue and former gubernatorial galpal Kelly Heyniger, a former contestant on America’s Hottest Mom who dated Gov. Charlie Crist just before his met the First Lady, Carole Rome.

The swimwear, I’m told, is specially designed to avoid embarrassing views while still providing a curve-revealing fit.

Needless to say, Page2Live had a grand ole’ time in the front row. Check out Ray Graham’s photo gallery:

    Yikes! That woman in the front row in photo #3 doesn’t need to worry about revealing an embarrassing camel toe, she needs to worry about revealing an embarrassing moose knuckle! She probably wasn’t there for the product line, but the free buffet.

    it looks more like lingerie than swimwear

    Looks like the Post is really trying to get a Pulitzer with this “expose.” Not. Maybe the slogan should be “Breaking News for Bimbos and idiots who love them.”

    Hey, some of you people are real azzho’s….Jose’s page is in the Entertainment section of the paper. Almost anything that promotes Clematis in a positive light is a good thing..Probably some of these male commenters have their sex partners refer to them as “Prince Tinymeat” behind their back..

    Was it really necessary to put a bunch of bikini clad women on the home page? Nothing wrong with the event. It’s the Post that’s the cheap whore.

    It is so obvious that there is a concerted effort to dumb down the masses and pervert them to no end. I for one am bored of it. If guys (and girls) need to look at an almost naked woman to feel “alive”, you must be low on hormones. There was a time that all a man needed to be turned on was a smile. Gone are the days and gone are the real men. There are still a few left, but very few. Along with them are the ladies. They have been replaced by the gold-diggers and the power-hungry show offs.

    Every single post that Lambiet makes here gets the same complaints over and over. If you don’t enjoy reading celebrity gossip, don’t open the blog! It really is that simple. Read Shakespeare, or the New Yorker, or Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, but don’t come here and whine. Jeesh.

    I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And when I look at Clematis, all I see is worthless crap.

    If you’re bored with the bored, don’t read it.

    If some people want to see and read about girls running around in lingerie that is their business. My issue is that this page was linked to “Breaking News,” and that, it is not. If they stated that is was Jose Lambiet’s page that I can assure you that many of us would not have clicked on it. Just because I may not want to read this silly stuff, does not mean that am I interested in Shakespeare, Kant or The New Yorker. Why not link it under “Breaking Celebrity Gossip” because what most of us consider news, it is not.

    Good Gosh! While I realize this display of tackiness was held over the bridge, it nonetheless reveals the area’s downward spiral into lower-end folks showing off their “goods” as it were. My, my how I miss the days of Roxy P. sleeping with women on the island. One surmises that the arrival of the human pill bottle, Rush-blob, heralded this new era of dreadful people. Addison Mizner was as tacky as they come, but at least he was a prolific pig. This new group of trash does not contribute anything to society, save for the occasional sexual scandal of sordid daliances and greedy consumption with little taste. CHEERS!

    Yea really downtown clematis is not more than any other downtown in America but it is certainly more than a couple of chicks craving for attenion in lingerie transformed in to swimwear.I only opned this because I thought that the constuction(or a piece of it)was complete.And Bored the so called “real men”that got turned on from a smile were probably virgins.Bored with bored,your point was not made because this was only opened because it was breaking news.

  20. Comment by CopyCats -WE NEED CLASS, NOT TRASH! — November 15, 2009 @ 1:50 pm

    What goes around comes around… The trash turned so called “fasionistas” are pure COPYCATS. Beach Bunnies is the original lingerie bikini designer. Kelly is pulling straws for her next claim to fame. I think it’s time to retire Kelly.

    And the cocaine stripper models should really rethink their careers. Their bodies are completely unhealthy. The men standing on the sidelines were aghast!

    Some of you posters are really disturbed.

    If you don’t like what you see simply click away and move on. No need for your malign comments. Even ya’ll that are lil’ pitrued about the home page link of this story. I have an opinion, but will reserve it, but I will say this. PB Post is a community news paper and this article simply promoted a community event. Could be worse.

    No I’m gonna bite back

    To each critic that posted a comment.

    At this moment in your life you are pathetic simple minded losers. I suggest you seek some Tony Robbins or something. Just because you are disatisfied with your own lifes there really is no need to project your misery on others. At least these people are following a passion, or making the most of the opportunites aforded to us Americans.

    Please, if you do not like what you see, simply move on. Your disrespectful comments only project your own inner misery.

    I wish ya’ll luck!

    Did any of you bored freaks whom seem to love to comment on others in this community ever stop to think that this is actually a career. If you don’t like it.. Its very simple.. DONT TAKE TIME TO LOOK/ WRITE about it. I mean honestly if I really can’t stand something and think its completely uncalled for and ridiculous.. I don’t take time out of my life to criticize the things in life that I don’t like in order to put a smile on my face. Actually that’s quite sad. These are actual people with feelings and dreams.Our community definately doesn’t need more people criticizing others. Maybe that’s why the town is turning to sh*t because no one in this place knows and understands how to work “together.” Hatred towards people is just so uncalled for and very pathetic. Beach Bunnies or whatever also does a line yes.. But how many companies are out that all have a same design in common. I mean c’mon people. And actually judging the models by their bodies is very critical.. Did you ever stop to think that it IS a job and there also is a lot of pressure on these models to look the way they do? Maybe its not their choice to look like this; however, modeling may be their dream! It was actually a very nice event that did no harm to anyone. I’m sorry that you sick people have to take that away. I feel for you.

  24. Comment by no drugs,now whores and no free buffets — November 16, 2009 @ 9:12 pm

    There was no free buffet, actually it was a prefixed menu for 90 dollars….. it was an exclusive event by invitation only… why all this harsh comments?
    Why cant you people just all get along and be happy for the other ones?
    it is really terrible everything that is being said… this event cost so much money and time to put together and this girls: Christy, Kelly and Gracia have been working their butts off to put that event together wanting for everybody to enjoy it and have a happy face.
    I was one of the models btw and I can promess on my son that i have never one in my life try cocaine, so please dont assume if you dont know…
    nobody says that SEX2SEA is the first one with this concept but there is plenty of room for everyone to try and be succeful, god gave us all the same opportunity and the same world to live and work in.
    And for the person that made the comment about trash and not classy? i have to tell you something, you were not there, you didnt see it but the line had NO thongs and NO see throughs.
    if you dont like it that is ok but there is no need to be so harsh and offensive.

    Kelly, it strikes me as decidedly Ruskya which is the tip of a trend in (”uninhibited sexualism”). I think you have to go multi-market with it fast and hit Moscow ASAP. I’d recommend sending some samples to Prokholov as a promotional item, he seems to have a following of Russia’s young elite modeling and fashion community-lot’s of free international fashion press comes out of Russia. I’d hope to see it on the beaches of Miami this winter, stunning, wouldn’t mind seeing it on you either…

    I’m laughing so hard. Just got a dummied up pic sent around of the ORGANIZER with a huge “underwear problem” . I mean, how desperate are these people to represent panty liners? Cannot stop laughing.
