Back in the 1920's my grandfather was arrested and charged with indecent exposure for wearing a swimsuit very similar to this one. LOL

In the 1920's Senator Strom Thurmond, a Clemson University track team athlete was stopped while he was at home in Edgefield County, SC because he was out running in track shorts. 1. at the time, nobody but nobody ran for fun... 2. The sheriff thought he was out running in his underwear... It caused quite a stir, he and his father had to prove that Clemson's track team did, in fact run around in public in those skimpy outfits.
