Description of a photograph, Los Angeles 1957 RC5710 Costume Briefest light-colored [halter and nombril] bikini. TML. Actions Mason saw what at first seemed to be a naked woman, but after a moment saw she was wearing the briefest of light-colored Bikini bathing suits (1). Mrs. Farrell gave a short laugh, "I'm afraid you men are all the same," she said. "She's wearing a light-colored Bikini suit, Mr.. Mason. She's not nude. She's dressed!" "I see she is," Mason said dryly. "You have to look twice to see it." Mason nodded. "I'm looking twice." Commentary Quoted from The Case of the Daring Decoy. Note Earl Stanley Gardner's capitalization of the word "bikini." The Bikini Perry Mason is looking at in the picture novel is purchased via mail order. Read the novel for the rest of the details. Source Earl Stanley Gardner, The Case of the Daring Decoy, William Morrow and Co., 1957. Illustration adopted from post card art of the period, possibly a little sleeker than most late fifties. It's really Mason's context here, not the illustration. 1 picture. |
