Rio Promo Girl 46 Fireplace Flashing

Living room
October 2, 1979 RV7946

Costume
   Gray-green raincoat over blue camisole and nombril panties underwear.

   TML. N-4. Belly-down bellage.

Actions
   We are not sure here if the model is in the middle of wrapping the raincoat around her, or opening it up for the picture (1).

Commentary
   Once again, the art director captures the nuance of the open-up/cover-up and does it so the ambiguity is perfect.
   In pure silhouette terms, this belly down demonstration combines a prototypical nombril culotte with a cutoff line (the lower edge of the cami) below the navel, so that the navel is covered and out of play, but the belly below it is not. This is a good example of belly-down bellage.
