Bathing beauties

[shewhomust]

From Saturday's Guardian promotional supplement on tourism in England, a piece on Lincolnshire's rediscovery of the beach hut. Designers were invited to enter a competition to dream up a better beach hut, and the winners were built along the sea front at Mablethorpe (and are available to rent by the day).

There's one clear winner, I suspect: the Guardian chose it to illustrate their article, and it features in a rather pointless animation (complete with irritating sound effects) on the Bathing Beauties web site (the page about the touring exhibition has an entertaining gallery of models of some of the competition entries; the separate Bathing Beauties Festival web site (actually a page of Mablethorpe's general site) is not as stylishly designed, but has some good photos of these and other beach huts.

Those are cool -- and I agree on the clear winner. I wonder what the inside looks like.

Indeed. If I ever find out, I'll let you know!
