Two New Things Under the Sun

Louis Réard, the inventor of bikini, with a model in 1946.
He named his creation after the Bikini Atoll, which was the site of nuclear weapon tests, as he felt his new swimsuit would create an “explosive commercial and cultural reaction.”

The guy was a fashion designer and he wasn't even a homo. I wonder what his wife thought of that photo.
By the bye, the model looks petty good even by todays standards.
(actually, todays standards are pinch faced nasties who look like they'd throw down for a school boy ... or a school girl)
mostly...JMO

"...the model looks petty good..."
==================================

Yes.
Decent mug.
Adequate top.
Cinched middle.
Flaired child bearing hips.
Succulent thighs.
Proportionally squared away.
Good peasant stock.
Highly marketable and scooped up by the first appreciative suitor in good standing.

The ho's in the glossy rags for the past 30 years look like alley waifs, desperate wretches victimized by urban nihilism, starved of food and attention, meant to be used and abused then cast aside for another - unmarketable at any cost.

Jill Goodacre era ~1986. She would have looked good wearing a trash bag.
