Celebrate the 4th of July in Superb Style

Burgers on the grill. Cold beer. Sun hats, swim diapers and sunscreen. Lazy days by the pool. (Or if you have youngsters like me, exhausting hours chasing your wild toddlers around the pool.) Ready or not, summer is almost in full swing.

I remember when I was a kid, one of the best parts about summertime was the 4th of July. We had a big family picnic and always got to see a stunning firework display. We also got to wear outrageously tacky red, white and blue outfits. Why? Because back in those days the tackier you looked, the more patriotic you appeared! When I was in college, the most patriotic attire one could wear was an American flag bikini. Times have changed and might I add, whew.
