Sebastian, Florida October 1985 SF8501 Costume Arabel blue bandeau and blue and green adjustable culotte, also pulled into tanga. TML > TMLA. Buttage. Tan Lines. Actions Not far from the beach a tourist lies inside a screen porch in a cottage. She is wearing a new adjustable culotte, purchased in Paris (1). At first passing it covers her behind (2), but later, upon reexamination, she has drifted into the center (3), tangaing her buttocks (4). Later when she rolls onto her right side the exposure continues (5, 6) as it does when she rolls to the left (7, 8, 9). The adjustable is quite visible when she sits up to read (10, 11, 12). The front is also narrowed a bit (13), but she widens it out when she lies onto her back (14), putting her arms overhead for a good view of the bandeau (15). Commentary The correspondent reports, "The next day I see this same woman on the beach wearing this same costume but on the beach she never, I mean never, bares her behind. She doesn't even let it slide in a bit and she is constantly pulling it down to keep it in place. So these are really a very private moment." The adjustable is, after all, a garment that provides choice vs venue, and this relationship and the infusion of tanga into the public beach is explored more in the Bikini Science Times (1985-1990).
