Bikini & Thigh highs! Back in the day, many like myself were outraged when girls appeared on our beaches for the first time in “Bikinis”. As an act of emancipation they had torn off their Turkish pants & paletot dresses which gave them some semblance of decency & instead covered themselves in 2 bits of cloth. We were shocked, but over time we got used to it! If that’s not enough Belle decided that the bikini could be augmented by the addition of hold ups & thigh high boots! I remonstrated at this outrage, if for no other reason than the chafing of sand creeping into the various crevices within the ensemble. H
