Pia Zadora Tangas in Vegas

Pool, Las Vegas, Nevada
1982 PZ8202

Costume
   Red bandeau and tanga.

   TMLA. N-5.

Actions
   Pia extends the tanga theme, this time in a bikini. This time Pia's in People, a grocery store family weekly entertainment magazine (1). Pia also makes it into the Playboy "Grapevine" (2) and is reprised four years later "jutting her butt out" in a Celebrity Skin "rearview review" (3). From the front this bikini shows a v-kini silhouette (4).

Commentary
   Pia's other big mass media appearance is in Newsweek, where she starlets maillot tanga, or more precisely, maillot g-string (PZ8201), and where Pia the tanga starlet is compared to Christie Brinkley, the tanga swimsuit model.
   As trends go, Zadora is a leading indicator, and her bare-butt exposures predate by a decade the logical conclusion of the buttage revolution (1990-1995)
