Sand Ski Gal Wears a Tank Top & Shorts

Beach and pier, probably American
c. 1925 MR2510

Costume
   Black tank top and plaid shorts (or maillot tank), with belt.
   Motorcycle rider in uniform.

   TL. Armpit.

Actions
   Well, this unidentified postcard gal is not about to water ski; rather it looks like she is going for a ride on a sand ski behind a motorcycle man (1).

Commentary
   The curious strap across the armhole and the Bermuda-style shorts conspire to make this an curious image. The lack of attention to the task on the part of the driver and rider suggest this might be a posed picture. It is not known if the top and bottom are separates, or sewn as a one-piece.
