1952 Hi Sailor! I’m Petunia.
Actually, this is “Hilda Estevez,” modeling a paper bikini bathing suit.” Yes: paper. “The suit, made out of napkins, carries a message recommending Florida as a vacation playground.”
Oddest use of an electrical utility mascot ever. You wonder how many times they tried to make the suit before Reddy didn’t show up grinning over the naughty bits.
For the rest of my life I will try to work "Yankee Brow Mopper" into a conversation. It'll take years, but it will be worth it.
