When I was young, my mother taught me that a bikini is an accessory. My mother, a Jones Beach native, adores the ocean. My mother grew up in Nassau County, Long Island. Her mother, my Nana, forced my young mother and her brother Willy to do swim lessons in the ocean when they were kids. They came from a 3rd generation Italian household and my Nana worked late nights at the local hospital. My mother was mostly raised by her Grandmother Madeleine, who had elegant Catholic-school-taught penmanship and kept her recipes in a yellow tin box.
