It wasn't until a year and a half later (when Esteban Maroto created the pinup) that she started wearing the bikini.Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598465647270663106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159528645952350567.post-47947373954837196512011-07-12T17:06:17.608+00:002011-07-12T17:06:17.608+00:00By definition: because he's hyped above and be...By definition: because he's hyped above and beyond his achievments. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Brett's writing. But I do feel he could do a lot better, and I'm sure he will in future books. Although THE PAINTED MAN and THE DESERT SPEAR have some very good ideas, his writing tends to be too straightforward while his pacing is a little bit unequal. <br /><br />Of course, this is subjective, but hey, it's my post, it's my subjectivity....<br /><br />Cheers,A.

Obviously, in the story, at least the moniker "biquini" is clearly anachronistic, as it only came into use in the late forties or early fifties. As to the piece itself, it dates way before that, and there are well known turkish and roman mosaics dating back to the fourth century A.D. that picture women in bikini (you can find one example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Casale_Bikini.jpg).<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ShermanA.
