Commentary
   "Imagine the most scooped-out, curving, clinging, sensuous tank ever designed. Imagine it now, sliced in half with just two, tiny rings to hold it alluringly in place. Now, finish it off in the softest gray chambrey blend of cotton, polyester and Spandex...and you have Keiko's two-piece tank for Tucker International." --Ad copy.
   As the decade progresses the "allure" of this primitive miokini will give way to a design which is less a connected sports bra and v-kini to a design with strong vertical arcs.
