> [@Princhester](#): > > There is a point at which you do have to wonder why you’d bother wearing anything at all Back in the late 1980s in Las Vegas I attended an office Halloween party. Things were a **LOT** looser then and there versus the current uptight corporate mores. A plump middle-aged lady showed up in a costume which was mostly a black leotard & stockings plus ballet slippers. So far so ordinary. But it had circular bandaids over where her nipples would be and a large tapered jug cork attached at her crotch. She said iher costume was “The bikini of the future: two bandaids and a cork.” She won the prize that night. This pubikini thing has a long way to go to catch up to dear old what’s-her-name. Who’d be about 80 right now. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rudi-gernreichs-pubikini-this-i-gotta-see/470091)._
