Hollywood, CA 1916 LM1635 Costume Fur strapless miniskirt, with tail? Hat, muffler, stockings, boots. TL. Actions Our pin-up girl is not wearing a swimsuit of the day but rather a racy concoction that is posed in front of the ocean (1). One wonders if this can hold up for immersion. Commentary "Standard swimsuits in 1916 were not revealing enough to be worn by pin-up girls," is a caption for this image written in 1948. Alice Maison agrees, after all Annette Kellerman has already been there (AK1410). Source Toni Robin and Roger Angell, "That Loveable Garment, The Bathing Suit," possibly Life, 1948. Purchased flea market, Syracuse, NY, 2003. 1 picture. |
