Rio Promo Girl 52 Futurist

Beach in water
October 2, 1979 RV7952

Costume
   Pink with black string slide-side halter and sidestrap nombril.

   TML. N-4. Cleavage. Wet.

Actions
   Promo Girl 52 stands in the surf, wet, and contemplates how the sand flows through her toes (1).

Commentary
   One can learn a lot at watching a silhouette in development. Here the rising waistline is very horizontal and the "v" is only expressed in the legline. Topside the side-slide is by now a two-year-old development, and like the v-kini, only barely discovered. The fact the halter is tied behind the back, instead of threading through the waistband, alters the cleavage equation and the security of the bikini. The two-color straps on the side of the culotte add a nice touch, and again serve to unify the top and bottom into a single silhouette.
   See how the influence of the slide-side also manifests in maillot (RV7936).
