You could go into Spencer’s back in the day and buy posters just like this…. Dozens of beautiful women wearing thongs in different scenarios, in different costumes…. All for $4.99 lol

I grew up near the beach. We did not let our butts hang out like this in the eighties. High on the leg but still a covered butt.

This sub has a very low bar for what they consider cool.

That was maybe the 1980s on posters and occasionally in a magazine. No woman wore that in public. The high on the hips suits were popular, but the butt crack was covered.
See the 1983 movie Valley Girl for accuracy in 1980s swim suits.

Funny how high on the hips is back in fashion.

In all my years living at pools in the 80s. NEVER once saw suits like this,
Now, all the time. Then, never outside of a Spencers Gifts poster.

That was not classic…just a style. And every(millions) did NOT wear those. Just like today in 2026

Time to bring them back also.

very nice
Not cool.
That’s a massive wedgie.
Also, Linda Kozlowski’s swimsuit in Crocodile Dundee was considered very revealing for the era.
I wish those were popular in the ’80s. This is a glamor shot/ad.
I don’t remember seeing anyone in those swimsuits other than on posters or in magazines.
I so miss the 80’s.
