Photo studio, America 1968 BZ6801 Costume Black and white polka-dot pasties and nombril. $26.00. Matching hat. Also called a trikini. TML. N-3. Actions The model stands and gives us a smile (1). Commentary These pasties are so big that if straps were added, the soutien-gorge would be completely average. In it generally agreed that a trikini, a compound of tri-, meaning three, and --kini, is a term that means a three piece bathing suit. But after that the terms is a free-for-all. Over the decades its definition has included a pair of pasties and a culotte, a halter and culotte plus a coverup, a halter and tanga plus a skirt, and this semantic. The hat is obviously not part of the ensemble, else this would be a quadkini. Source Ad in Harper's Bazaar, 1968. 1 picture. |
