Rio Promo Girl 20B Topless Gamer

Beach in water
October 2, 1979 RV7920B

Costume
   Topless and red Spandex string bikini.
   Male barechested in trunks.

   TML.
   TMLC.

Actions
   Fun time on location is a raft with an admirer to push you around on it (1). Promo Girl 20B might be new to topless--witness the tan line on her back-- but she isn't shy about it (2).

Commentary
   In case you wonder if even the photographer gets to see the lass topless you know this: her backgammon companion certainly does. Thus the abstraction of the exposure is made more real, and in a sense is reflected to you, the viewer, through the eyes of the companion. You might not get to see bare breasts, but you know he does and that Promo Girl 20 is for real about showing them. Of course, topless, especially in 1979 in America, can remain a touchy question, and just because the companion gets to see doesn't mean the model allows pictures taken than reveal this other side of her.
