Description
YEAR: 1962
FEATURING: Nadine
It was the summer of '62, and George Lucas was cruising around Modesto gathering ideas for a movie. "Where were you in '62?" Meanwhile, in Hillville, some members of the Silent Generation (and one Baby Boomer) were hanging out at the city pool.
Sure, Nadine was a "Jayne Mansfield" type when "Audrey Hepburn" types were becoming more popular. And yes, there is that issue of the rather unsettling scar on her left cheek that most people seem to ignore after five minutes. But still, even though she has only lived in Hillville for a year, the general consensus is that "to know her is to love her."
Nadine is basically the ultimate Good Girl... who knows what it's like to be something very different. We won't get into the details of how she turned her life around, just that it was sudden and she has never looked back.
The men of Hillville find her to be "very marryable," and, given the times, they mean that literally. It's true that in those days men were a bit ruder and more forward with unmarried women, but here they know that Miss Strong is watching over Nadine, and any bursts of ungentlemanly behavior would most certainly not be worth it.

Beauty knows no time and can't be measured in era. Applause for craft and composition. +5 from doarte's MADHOUSE
Very nice scene and work ... :)
very nicely done.
My, is she cute. Like a slim Didi. Good job with the body language of the folks in the background. The woman to the right maybe doesn't see Nadine, but sure can tell something's up from the guy's look and body language. Her own body language suggests "watch it!" I remember the time - Nadine's bikini style was considered provocative by many. The average bikini went almost up to the navel (that unmentionable hole) and there was more covering at the top where the straps are.. Keep up the good work. :-)
I may have to take a few liberties with historical fashions based on what's available. A true full-cut bikini is hard to find!
A really fun and awesome composition! I love the surroundings... especially the water and the warmth that emanates from the scene! Well done!
wonderful and interesting scene Excellent work
Very nice and sure fitting in the timespan you indicated.
