Beach Blanket Bingo! 15 Terrific, Terrible Towels

By Gabriel Bell and Piera Gelardi

The best bikini in the world won't do you a lick of good if you're sunning yourself on a plain white square of cotton. Personally, we just steal hotel towels when we want to look our best on the beach. If we weren't such cheapskates, however, we'd pick up these terry cloth wonders representing our favorite obsessions, bands, color, brands, cats, and, of course, booze.
