Ms. Strapoff Tries to Look Amateur

Beach, probably America
c. 1923 PC2E10

Costume
   Stripped maillot pantaloon with hose and shoes.

   TL. Strapoff.

Actions
   This naughty tease has pulled her strap off her shoulder and threatens to expose her left breast (1). She's also rolled her hose down.

Commentary
   This real beach photo combines a homely woman who has all the look of an amateur--except this is a printed postcard. The left shoulder strap has been unbuttoned at the top and is held in hand--evidence that bathing suit strip tease is by no means a new phenomena.
