Kelly LeBrock Vogue's Maillot Tanga

Poolside and in Vogue
October 1980 V8001

Costume
   Green strapless maillot tanga.

   TLB.

Actions
   A 20-year-old bare-bottomed Kelly LeBrock lies on her stomach poolside, while attended to by three waiters in full dress (1).

Commentary
   Vogue re-introduces the maillot tanga, but note the support it gets! This is not some poor girl out with her bare butt in the surf, this is a member of the papered leisure class. Tanga is endorsed for those aloof to their attendants.
   It has been half a decade since Vogue first introduced maillot tanga (HN7501, FV7601), and although they will introduce topless g-string next year (V8106), they will not show maillot tanga again until 1987 (V8701). These plays are very related to plays in culotte tanga.
