Bikinic arms race (n.) 


The intensely competitive process that has led in many parts of the Mediterranean, South America, Carribean and other sub-tropical regions of the world to women—and occasionally men—parading up and down the beach wearing little more than a strand of dental floss and a couple of sticking plasters. [Not that I'm complaining. — Ed.] 

The bikinic arms race is similar in structure to the nuclear arms race between the USA and USSR in the early 1970s and 80s, only considerably more ruthless and enjoyable to watch.
