Studio backdrop, Paris, France c. 1907-1908 VG1L30_573 Costume Stripped maillot pantaloon swimsuit. Shoes doff. TL. Cleavage. Bare feet. Actions This Paris postcard gal looks at us as she leans over to take off her shoes (1). Commentary This postcard pinup is not the only gal in the late oughts to bare her legs and feet in a swimsuit photograph (see Asta Westergaard, GC0L246BS, for another example), but she is ten years ahead of her time, even in pinup terms. The maillot pantaloon remains a stable pinup silhouette, and this gals action of taking off her shoes remains erotic in the late 1910s.
