We received a tip from one of the masterminds behind the Women of OSU Calendar alerting us to the beautiful Beavers featured within its pages. This is the “first ever swimsuit calendar featuring 12 of Oregon State University’s most beautiful women”. While it’s definitely healthy to gawk at the gorgeous girls, it’s also for a good cause – all profits made by the Women of OSU Calendar will be donated to cancer research charities and I believe they’re donating $1 for every “like” on their Facebook page. Who knew your libido could be used for good? Check out pics of the 12 beautiful Beavers after the jump.

If Beach Bunny swimwear doesn’t sound familiar, then you’ve been officially missing for the past four months. What drew our attention to this particular bathing suit business? Two words: Kate Upton. We first discovered the line right before Easter, when she modeled a series of B.B. bikinis. Less than a month later, she blew us away in a Bikini.com video of her killin’ the catwalk in a Beach Bunny suit. Before we could catch out breath, she showed us the Beach Bunny bridal swimwear. Now, Beach Bunny is searching for the next Beach Bunny supermodel and has narrowed the field down to three finalists: Anahi Gonzales, Xenia Deli and Jennifer. Take a look at their pics then vote for your favorite after the jump.

On July 5th, 1946 the bikini made its debut during an outdoor fashion show at the Molitor Pool in Paris, France. Since then, it’s been the most popular swimsuit of choice for women the world over. However, as you may have learned from our comprehensive bikini guide, the bikini comes in many shapes and sizes. Probably the most eye-popping, physics-defying (and most likely uncomfortable) type is the slingshot bikini. You’ve probably seen ‘em during an episode of MTV Spring Break or on everyone’s favorite journalist, Borat. Well, to celebrate the bikini’s anniversary, we’ve pulled together the hottest slingshots caught on camera. Check ‘em out after the jump.

The Hot Shots Calendar aims to raise money and awareness for seriously injured servicemen and women. In late November 2010, we called it one of 2011′s sexiest.  Then this morning, much to our post-holiday hangover delight, Nuts reported that shooting for the 2012 calendar is well under way, providing us with some behind the scenes pics from the set. We know it’s early, but it looks like it’ll make our 2012 list.  By the way, 50% of the net proceeds from Hot Shots will be given directly to Help for Heroes. So, make sure to head over to their site once you’re done gawking after the jump.

The 15th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant takes place in Miami tomorrow night, Saturday, June 25th at 9pm ET / 8pm CT. While 100 girls will compete for cash & prizes worth more than $150,000, fans have the chance to win $10,000 just by voting for their favorite contestant. To celebrate, we’ve put together three galleries for you – one featuring last year’s contestants, one featuring previous pageant winners, and one of Stephanie Haney (aka Stephanie Christine), last year’s Viewer’s Choice winner (and COED interview subject). See their bangin’ bikini bodies after the jump!

This past weekend, we showed you the 2011 Miss USA contestants showing off their bikini bodies at a Las Vegas pool party as they get ready to compete in this year’s pageant, which will be held at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Sunday, June 19th. Today, we bring you more of the good stuff with 50+ photos of the girls putting what God gave them on full display. Check ‘em out after the jump.

The 60th anniversary of the Miss USA pageant will be held at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on June 19. Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih of Michigan, will crown her successor who will then represent the U.S. at the Miss Universe pageant in São Paulo, Brazil on September 12. Rima hosted a pool party for the Miss USA 2011 contestants in what amounted to a sexy and provocative preview of the swimsuit competition. Take a look at the pics then vote for the girls you think should advance to the semi-finals after the jump!

Twitter’s a tough platform to keep up with, but luckily we were in the right place at the right time when we saw Sports Illustrated South Africa tweeted a link to their Facebook photo album of behind the scenes pics from their Swimwear 2011 shoot. We’re a little confused here in the office because the 2011 U>S. SwimSUIT issue already came out, so is this for the 2012 swimsuit issue or is there a completely different issue that is JUST swimwear? Either way, we come out winners because South African bikini models Tracy McGregor and Tayla Davis look amazing even with multiple crew members grabbin’ at them every 5 seconds. Check out the pics after the jump.

Memorial Day is a time when take a moment to remember and pay tribute to those who’ve fallen in duty for our country. It’s also a day to salute the flag and celebrate all the amazing things America has to offer. One such way to show your pride is to wear the red, white, and blue. No one does this better than beautiful women in an American flag bikini. If you can’t make it to the beach or pool, we’ve got you covered with a gallery of patriotic princesses who wear the flag well. Check it out after the jump!

With Mother Nature and Jack Frost double teaming everyone’s plans and coating most of the nation in their waste, you don’t get to see much skin. Eye candy is in limited supply, covered in thick wrappers that will take multiple Four Lokos mixed with medical marijuana sodas and topped with Whipped Lightning to remove. Luckily, a few years back Wave House had the great idea to start a “Beanies and Bikinis” contest, in which brave, shivering hotties donned skimpy swimwear and their favorite skullcaps (aka “beanies”) to see who is the coolest of the cold.
