Apartment, Syracuse, New York Summer 1971 SY7110 Costume Brown and white Indian-patterned haltered underwire bandeau and nombril bikini. TML. N-3. Nippage. Tan lines. Actions "Well you won't believe what happened to me yesterday," a young graduate student recounts. "I agree to help out and act for a student movie and do a make-out scene in this bikini (1, 2). Which is all very okay with me. Except that every time I lean over you can see right down the top (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Okay, so I pull everything a little tighter (9, 10). Then I'm lying on my side (11, 12, 13) and the next thing I know all the crew is looking at me a getting a big laugh because my nipple has popped out (14)." "So was the camera still running?" "Well, I didn't connect that at the time, but today when I go over to screen the pictures there I am with my tits out. Everybody applauds. It was a good thing the lights were out because I'm sure my face was red." Commentary Bikinis have risks. These images provide interior details on the working of this 1970s underwire construction. The halter strings reach wide to the side in the front--almost under the armpit and can dangle or detach. Even with them the soutien-gorge teases areolage and a leanover nipple peak. The student of the bikini is encouraged to focus attention instead on the underwire, clearly visible inside its hem at the base of the cup. No lining, by the way, nor in the briefs, which are nombril yet with a rising legline headed toward sidestrap. Source Recounted to the Chief Bikini Scientist. Pictures appropriated. 14 pictures. |
