Hollywood, California c. 1927 CB2L30 Costume Maillot tank with belt. Ukulele. TL. Barefoot. Actions Clara Bow, the It girl, is noted as perhaps the ukulele's must sexiest musician. And this is not the only one that combines her, the ukulele, and a swimsuit (1). Commentary Here one combines an athletic swimming suit with a silly musical instrument. Sitting on a vase in front of a concrete wall, trees and rooftops beyond, bush lower left. What is the meaning of this? Well, the meaning of the maillot is that it has developed armholes and shoulder straps, a scoop neck, and a skirtless crotch. The belt is pure period. And the ukulele is Bow's companion instrument throughout her career. Source Sources include Chickeyonthego, flickr.com. Date is estimation. 3 pictures. |
