Cullen Landis Flashes a Nipple

Hollywood
1921 CU2150


Costume
   Maillot tank.

   TL. Nippage.

Actions
   Strong man Cullen Landis stands tall and wet (1).

Commentary
   Landis pushes the limits of decorum here by allowing his nipple to slip into his oversize armhole. Bare chests in 1921 are strictly forbidden and will be into the early 1930s.
