TGIF, people. And TG for women willing to strut around for half the population of Long Beach in bikinis the size of baby bibs. Especially when they look like three-time winner Venus Strong.

There's some pretty stiff competition for hottest 39-year-old to currently roam the Earth. Namely, Christina Applegate; the ageless, flawless Erykah Badu; and, uh, Christina Applegate. But something about Miss Toyota Grand Prix 2011 — her plastic surgerylessness, the fact that she's a real-life sexy physician, her freaking bellybutton, perhaps — makes us all, what's an applegate?

And 39 is an important age to be in the LBC this year:

Local hero Snoop Dogg is 39 until October. (So is Koko the signing gorilla, turns out. Yes, we just spent the last 20 minutes browsing “Born in 1931.” Oddly fascinating.) But enough about those old farts. Observe a modern miracle in a sparkly pink thing at 0:56 and 2:45:
