Jiffy pop
rump. Could they have deflated her rear for the pic?
Scandalous

It's interesting to see
It's interesting to see these early photos and understand how the techniques have changed over the years. Look at that pose - talk about awkward. While, yes, our modern bikini models often strike some pretzel-like poses, the pose above is just strange and doesn't make for a very flattering photo when viewed through our modern lens.

I come here for nostalgic looks back at the past, not smut like this! Honestly, children might look at this.
I hope you're proud of yourself, Mr. Smutmonger.
