Apartment, Brooklyn, New York September 1, 1999 OH99BS Costume Gray Spandex exercise bra and boy shorts. N-1. Actions A friend shares some snapshots, "This is another neighbor of mine. Her mom and dad live upstairs a couple of floors and when my mom was alive they were good friends with her. I've known Olivia since she was a little girl and watched her grow up. I took these shots when she came by the apartment the other day to borrow some eggs (1, 2. 3). I swear to you she was running errands like this, and not just inside the building, out to the deli too. "What I don't have figured out is if this girl knows she is running around Brooklyn half-naked--you know is it some kind of a statement thing--or is this is just like normal for her? You know, just how they dress these days. Here she is when she brought the eggs back in the evening (4). I mean this is just a normal girl out of high school. So I don't know what's she's thinking and I'm not about to ask her. 'Cause you know in a way it doesn't matter, because whatever it is she's doing, I like it." Commentary Once again, a young woman adopts a conservative bikini--a bra with a lot of coverage and shorts which just bear the navel and even distend below the crotch. Perhaps the adaptation is that this costume provides enough coverage to wear in round about the apartment building--and into the street--whereas a more revealing bikini would not. Once again, venue plays an important role, and here, on what can only be called Very High Beach, the act of wearing any bikini into the street is balanced against a move covered costume.
