Bikinis, Spanx and sexy lingerie for the dead

• Blame it on the bikini: ever wondered why Benidorm became such a big tourist destination for all us pasty Brits? It's all because former mayor Pedro Zaragoza, who died yesterday, allowed bikinis on the beaches of Benidorm when they were banned everywhere else in Spain. [The Times]
• Another celeb joins the ranks of Spanx fans: American Idol's Carly turned to slimming pants to quash pregnancy rumours says the Irish Independent.
• You can take it with you: ethnic Chinese in Malaysia are snapping up paper underwear sets for the dead to use in the other world, says the Malaysia Star. Paper paraphernalia is traditionally burnt as offerings for the dead on the Quing Ming festival, which falls on Friday this year.

I found you via the Independant. Carly was hilarious on AI. Maybe it was too tight.
