Super Girls Maillots & Bare Feet

Faux beach, Paris, France
c. 1920 VG00T0BS

Costume
   Maillot pantaloons. Hats.

   TL. Bare feet. Armpits. Headlights. Cameltoe.

Actions
   Four different postcard pinups model the latest maillot swimsuits. All the Super Girls wear the current swimsuits with hats, but none wear shoes and thus bare their feet--the latest erogenous zone in play.#651 has a high neckline but a very form-fitted crotch (1). #763 giv es us the eye and holds a parasol (2). #785 sports short sleeves and a smaller armhole, deeper cleavage, a baggy crotch and standout nipples (3). #787 sits with her book and awaits an intellectual conversation (4). #892 shows her armpits and cameltoe (5)

Commentary
   The bare feet, hats, and short pantaloons place these picture postcards at either the late 1910s or the early 1920s. WWI is over, and the flapper era is about to begin.
