Studio, Paris, France c. 1917 VG1050_912 Costume Maillot pantaloon yellow belt and rolled down socks. TL. Actions A young swimsuit model lies on her elbows and knees and sticks her butt into the air (1). Her shoes are missing and her socks are rolled down. Commentary "Ah, this is an intriguing transition piece. The voluminous, upswirled hairdo speaks late-Victorian, though the rolled-down stockings, brief bathing suit, and slutty eye makeup (influenced by early filmmaking, which carried over acting styles and maquillage from grand opera), suggest this is just after World War I," observes Charles DeFanti.
