Katy Perry Rocks a Retro Bikini—See the Pic

         Katy Perry has traded in her "California Gurls" lifestyle in favor of a high seas voyager! The "Roar" singer posted a picture to her Instagram page that not only showed off the yacht (appropriately named Sassy) that she spent the day on, but also flaunted her fantastic figure in a retro bikini!

Perry accessorized her seagull-patterned suit with a matching hat and bag for her relaxing day out on the water on Australia's Hayman Island. The "Dark Horse" crooner was taking a day off from her Prismatic World Tour.
The pop star captioned the picture, "G2G my whip is here."

Perry has been keeping fans on their toes with pictures that she has been posting to her social media pages. Not usually one to post selfies, the 30-year-old singer has changed things up a bit, most notably with a risqué photo of her in bed that she captioned "Feeling v Lolita rn." The racy picture captured Perry wearing lingerie while lounging in bed and posing seductively.

The "Lolita" Perry is referring to is based off of a character from Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel Lolita, which tells the story of a man's sexual relationship with his stepdaughter.

This isn't the singer's first homage to the controversial novel. Perry's album cover for One of the Boys is an allusion to Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation that starred Sue Lyons as the titular character. The pop star hasn't kept her "obsession" with the novel a secret, as she once admitted "I have ALWAYS been obsessed with the Lolita portrayed by the fantastic actress, Dominique Swain in the movie Lolita with Jeremy Irons (A MUST BUY)," she wrote in her Buzznet blog in 2008.

"I have studied her every move, braided my hair like hers, tried to find jumpers like hers and high waisted shorts. To this woman…lolita/Dominique I owe my career practically."
