Bathing pan, Paris. c. 1905 PC0H90 Costume A unitard. Sponge. None. (Only the hands and face are uncovered.) Actions A young lass with her hair up and standing in a bathing pan is caught unawares, and covers herself--sort of (1). She stretches and washes and knows we are watching her (2). She dries her feet (3). Commentary The flesh-color body stocking is also called a pinkie, later a union suit. If you use you imagination you may be able to come up with other faux nude sequences. See PC0H01 for more examples of flesh unitards, and PC0630 for a featurette on a cabaret artiste. Source H. Manuel Paris, "Dolce Tub," Series VP. Paris, numbers 2, 4, 9.
