Ms. Nude Look Topless Maillot

California
November 1965 PB6505

Costume
   Elon of California apple green topless t-front maillot, $23.00.

   TMLB.

Actions
   This swimsuit "emulates Rudi Gernreich's first bare-bosomed beachwear" and shows that far-out boutiques (like Elon of California) are dipping into this pool. As with the Life presentation over a year ago, Playboy chooses to sample the swimsuit in its native habitat, underwater (1).

Commentary
   Playboy is late to the game with this costume, but when they do cover it, they cover it well. One wonders also if Elon hasn't made a T-back, which is a most stunning and natural combination with the T-front.
   Moffitt reports she declines to pose for the magazine; although earlier this year Playboy covers Carol Doda dancing in a topless maillot (CD6540).
