Ms. Sixties Pasties and Nombril

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.
