European Cinema 1965 EC6510 Costume Pasties and skirt. Headdress, earrings, chest chain. Nipple adornment and skirt. Headdress, earrings, chest chain. TM. TMB. Actions Servant girls in a European film wear unusual nipple decoration. One has her nipple covered with a metal shield (1). The other has a decoration that surrounds the nipple and leave the nipple exposed (2). Commentary The decoration and adornment of the nipple precedes the topless movement and with rare exceptions, like these cinematic extremes, are simply not part of the vocabulary of the beach. But watch out for leading indicators!
