Holly Madison -Hot pink bikini- Laguna Beach CA this past week

Taking a relaxing trip out of Vegas, Holly Madison was busy catching some rays in Laguna Beach, CA this past week.

The former “Girls Next Door” starlet flaunted her tiny baby bump in a sexy hot pink bikini while frolicking around in the waves of the Pacific Ocean.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Holly recently announced that she and her boyfriend, Pasquale Rotella, are expecting their first bundle of joy - and it looks as if she's getting plenty of well wishes, as Miss Madison took to her Twitter page, writing, “Thanks again for all the congratulatory messages, twitter friends!”
Although her recent beach photos look flawless, it seems that the 32-year-old may already be getting some cravings, of which she tweeted, “Someone should open an all-breakfast, all the time McDonalds. #PregnantThoughts.”

Enjoy the pictures of Holly Madison holidaying in her bikini Laguna Beach (September 5).

Laguna Beach is a seaside resort city and artist community located in southern Orange County, California, United States, approximately 19 miles (31 km) southeast of the county seat of Santa Ana. Its population was 22,723 at the 2010 census.

Laguna Beach is the second oldest city in Orange County, second to Anaheim.

Settlers arriving after the American Civil War found scarce amounts of land available for homesteading, and one such tract, known then simply as "the public lands" was the coastal strip from Laguna Canyon to Three Arch Bay. During the 1870s, a small community named Arch Beach had been started at the mouth of Bluebird Canyon. By the early 1880s most of the land around its small Post Office and general store had been subdivided. It was to be founded in 1887 as Lagonas, but was renamed to Laguna Beach in 1904. At about the time that Orange County separated from Los Angeles County and became independent in 1889, the community was caught in an economic downturn.

When the economy renewed itself, the decision was made to relocate the town to the mouth of Laguna Canyon. This was possible because a dispute with the Irvine ranch over the public right to traverse Laguna Canyon had been resolved in the courts, allowing an additional means of access to the coast. The streets were laid out in a grid plan despite the location's hilly nature, which has resulted in some streets having extremely steep inclines.

By 1900 Laguna Beach was occupied by five families of homesteaders struggling to farm land. They soon found an additional source of income by renting sections of the beaches to farmers from Tustin, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Riverside, and other inland communities who were eager to escape the summer heat. Thus began the tourist industry which is still a mainstay of the local economy. Pioneer days in Laguna Beach and its growth from a few scattered buildings to one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in the West as well as a famous California art colony was vividly recounted by J. S. Thurston (born in 1868), a son of one of the community's original settlers, in Laguna Beach of Early Days (The Press of Murray & Gee, Culver City, California, 1947).

In the early 1920s the area was discovered by a group of landscape painters who laid the foundation of the art community which is still thriving to this day. Subsequently, various groups have "discovered" Laguna Beach and added incrementally to the town's diversity. Many wealthy and progressive people have made Laguna Beach their home and added to the local culture. Gerry Max, in recording the life of one of the community's most famous early members, travel writer Richard Halliburton (1900–1939), has called Laguna a "weary rover's dream", and in Horizon Chasers offers a sense of Laguna Beach in the 1920s and 1930s.Hildegarde Hawthorne, granddaughter of the novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, described Laguna "as a child of that deathless search, particularly by persons who devote their lives to painting or writing, or for some place where beauty and cheapness and a trifle of remoteness hobnob together in a delightful companionship."Halliburton himself marveled at the "sensational vistas" and "the peaceful valley on the one side (of the home called Hangover House which he had built on the ridge) and the full sweep of the ocean on the other."

The region was originally known to the Spanish as "La Cañada de Las Lagunas" which means "The Canyon of the Small Lakes", in reference to two lakes found near the head of Laguna Canyon. However, in confusion with the word "Lagoon", Laguna Beach was nearly misnamed "Lagoona" by the State of California. While it was still an unincorporated community, the Postmaster, Nicholas Isch, journeyed to Sacramento to rectify the mistake, and the original Spanish spelling was retained.

Laguna Beach was incorporated as a General Law City in 1927 and has experienced a slow but steady population growth since that time. Laguna Beach was the southern California epicenter of 'alternative' culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In early 1967, John Griggs and other founding members of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love relocated from Modjeska Canyon to the Woodland Drive neighborhood of Laguna Beach, which they later re-christened "Dodge City". Timothy Leary lived for several months with the Brotherhood until his December 26, 1968 arrest for possession of marijuana, near the intersection of Woodland Drive and Roosevelt Lane.

In the early history of Laguna Beach, many artists and counterculture activists moved from nearby Los Angeles and settled in the charming cottages along the Laguna hillsides. Today few artists remain, as the town is one of the wealthiest places in North America. Most artists in the community now live in Laguna Canyon.

Laguna Beach has long been considered a politically liberal enclave in conservative Orange County. However, the city's liberalism is only relative to its surroundings as registered Democrats have only a slight 2 percent advantage over Republicans in the Laguna Beach making the city considerably more conservative than California as a whole. Of the 18,806 registered voters in 2009, 7,246 (38.5%) were Democrats and 6,768 (36%) were Republicans.In the 2008 presidential election, Democratic candidate Barack Obama received 62% of the city’s vote, while Republican candidate John McCain received 35% of the vote.Laguna Beach was one of only four cities in Orange County to vote against Proposition 8, which amended the California Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage, and did so with an overwhelming 68% of its vote.

As of December 2010, Toni Iseman serves as Laguna Beach's mayor and Jane Egly as mayor pro tem. The other three city council members are Kelly Boyd, Elizabeth Pearson and Verna Rollinger. The mayor's position is non-elected and rotated among the members of the city council.
