Kari made Carey's bikini

"I screamed when I discovered Mariah Carey in one of my home-crocheted bikinis," Kari Myrvold (66) laughs. Now she wants to get in touch with the superstar. "I tried calling her, but she isn't exactly listed in the phonebook, and I couldn't find a press agent. I'm so curious as to how she got hold on one of my bikinis," Kari Myrvold explains.

Mariah Carey now walks around in a bikini, size 75B, from Asker, Norway. She was photographed hand-in-hand with her boyfriend Luis Miguel on the beach in Acapulco, Mexico.

"A friend of mine has been to Florida twice, with my bikinis, and some of them have been sold after showings." There's a small detail that convinced the designer that it actually was one of her creations that Carey wore on the papparazzi-picture from the beach in Mexico: Between Mariah's breasts hangs a brown manilla ring, which was previously used to hang up one of Kari's flower pots.

"There are only two bikinis of that kind in the whole world. I have the other one myself, somewhere." Myrvold's bikinis have also graced the cover of the magazine Sports Illustrated, been used in an episode of Baywatch, and in Norwegian magazines like Det Nye and Vi Menn. But first thing's first. What cup does the bikini-clad songbird use?

"What? It has to be a B-cup. Then again, she goes up and down in weight like milk in a kitten," the 66-year old determines. She takes about 700.- (NOK) (about $90) for a Carey-bikini. "However, I don't make that type of bikini anymore. It wouldn't 'hang on' to the girls."
