Sport Sophisticate Suspension Seduction

Beach exterior, America
1978 CT7810

Costume
   Tom Nasarro for Sports Sophisticates blue with apricot stripe cotton string strap bra and very low cut nombril. Oil and sand.

   TML. N-5. inguinal. Hairage?

Actions
   An advanced bikiniite likes on her back, soaking up sunshine (1). The elastic waistline of the briefs stretches well below the crest of the ilium and above a sunken valley of belly. It invites voyeurism and endangers exposing the pubic hair. The suit is slightly more secure with the model lying down, but is still a risky proposition.

Commentary
   This is a strong example of the belly-up belly-down extreme of the bikini. The silhouette is pre-string, pre-Spandex, yet indicative of the future. The waistline is pristinely straight, and has a center hem in the brief. Darts help mold the top. The bottoms have more than an inch of cloth at the side and are almost side-strapped. They represents an extreme position of the nombril style--not yet string sides, but close.
