Organizers of the San Diego Bikini Walk hoped to attract at least 325 bikini-wearing participants to break the current record for the largest bikini walk, which is 323, according to the Guiness Book of World Records.
Monday, Bikini Week organizers were still tallying up the official count, but they said that around 200 women participated. The walkers started their mile-long trek from the Hard Rock Hotel at about 1:30 p.m. Leading the pack was Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, a local stripper known for her affair with Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James. The group walked down 5th Avenue to Market Street, then back up to Broadway before returning the Hard Rock Hotel for an after-party at the hotel pool.
The walk kicked off Bikini Week and raised money for charities including free clinics, Global Flying Hospitals and Sundance King. Bikini Week will continue through next weekend with a variety of swimsuit fashion shows highlighting the work of Southern California designers.
