46-year-old Lisa Rinna had the audacity to wear a bikini on the beach this past weekend, and the internet is absolutely aghast. Or, as Fame put it, “Lisa shows off her aging body in a Hollywood bikini while splashing around in the waves.” Yes, not her body. Her aging body. How dare she let her body grow older! It’s a sign of laziness is what it is.

Luckily a few sites have a better perspective on Lisa’s body. Radar noted, “We have to hand it to her, Lisa Rinna is in amazing shape. The 46 year old looks fabulous in her bikini at the beach in Malibu,” while LimeLife gave suggestions about what you can do to look as great as Lisa.

Have you had a chance to see Lisa Rinna on the beach so far this summer? I knew her abs were good, but I was in no way prepared for her string bikini surprise! How does she do it?

Fitness magazine currently has a “Sexy Abs in 6 Weeks” promo with a free newsletter that comes out every week with ab-focused exercises, flat-belly menu ideas, and tools and tips. I’m willing to sign up, because Lisa Rinna’s abs are as flat are they are hard, and many of us are a few (or more) years younger than this taut celeb.

It’s a little bit painful to look at pics of Lisa: almost too inspirational.

I didn’t like Lisa for a long time, mostly because of her lips. I know that’s unfair, but they were so bad that they actually made me angry. Then she wore a sandwich board on the side of Melrose Avenue saying “Honk 4 Lisa Rinna on the new Melrose Place,” and I sort of fell in love with her. Well, that’s not quite it, but close. Come on – obvious publicity stunt or not, wearing a sandwich board means having the ability not to take yourself too seriously. It’s hard not to find that endearing. And Lisa does look absolutely amazing. If I ever look that good – at any age – I’d be thrilled. She should wear nothing but bikinis from now until Thanksgiving, just to show off.
