Jill St. John One Bikini After Another

Pool, Las Vegas, Nevada
1971 JJ7110

Costume
   Blue strapped front-gather bra and sidegather nombril.

   TML. N-4.

Actions
   Jill St. John plays Tiffany Case opposite Sean Connery as James Bond in Diamonds are Forever. It is a rare moment in the film when Ian Flemming's leading lass is not wearing a bikini. By the pool the sidegathers are loose yet neatly bowtied at the top of the brief (1, 2).

Commentary
   Ms. St. John is headed toward a sidetie but isn't there yet. And she could have wrapped her sidegathers around the sides of her briefs and gathered them narrower, but she hasn't done that either.
   Quoting from lovgoddess.info, "when Jill made Diamonds Are Forever at the age of 31, an age when most women's bodies are deteriorating rapidly, it is obvious that she must have more self-discipline than other pin-ups. Her face has lost its youthful vitality but her body is in remarkably good condition."
