1962 This is not an illustration from a “Bulemia for Dummies” manual. Although I don’t know what she’s doing, really; pulling out a strand of corn hair from her mouth, maybe. Or eating those “air cucumbers” that were popular with the diet set in 1962. Or she was transported in from a Tijuana photo shoot. I don’t know. I do know that this suit was made of Patent Leather, and probably felt like you were strapping on a Naugahyde seat cover. Any guesses on the color? Right.

It had a zipper fly front. That's okay. Men never used them for that, either.

Notice how the navel has yet to make an appearance? The navel did not yet exist.
