Talk:Monokini

message: lol That picture of the American "monokini" is a man with breast implants. Look at how he lacks the female waist, female toroso utterly... And, look how skinny and long the legs are, like an Asian man. It's a man with breast implants (you can definitely tell it' implants, too), and that's why they are hiding their face in their hair. No offence intended to the transgendered... But, a picture of a woman in women's clothing would be more appropriate than potentially disturbing people sensitive to such sights.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.117.225 (talk) 21:59, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The article has been mreged with Bikini earlier, but with new information flooding in it was thought wise that Monkini shall have its own article again. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 12:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

yes, it's found in the reference cited, but it seems rather unlikely to me, because the Soviets (and the other Eastern block countries) were rather tolerant with nudity on beaches. bogdan (talk) 20:54, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't invent the piece of information on soviet condemnation. But, the piece of information you are offering - Soviet tolerance of nudity - seems highly unlikely. Can you cite any reference that validates this information? Aditya(talk • contribs) 14:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The image Topless_women_on_the_beach.jpg seems really out of place here, none of the women in the picture are wearing a monokini. Remove? 85.252.185.219 (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia about the subject. Not a gallery of pictures especially large iones stuck into the lead which make it hard to read the lead. Wikimedia Commons has galleries if that's what you are interested in maintaining. Dmcq (talk) 13:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A regular monokini, i.e. a bottom without top, warrants an illustration as the subject of the article. Is there any reason or policy that says it should not be here? Please, replace it with better image, if needed, but don't remove it without a valid reason. Aditya(talk • contribs) 13:29, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: True, it just seemed to cause a narrow line of text for the next section where both photos occurred across the page on my browser. I should have just shrunk it a bit. I'll leave as it is for the moment and see if other editors want to do anything. Dmcq (talk) 15:29, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

text: No, you wrong. The bottom image is classic illustration of monokini. --Stizerg (talk) 11:06, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

message: So i Googled monokini and it came up with a lot of those one piece looking things with cut outs. Thats what most americans think of as a monokini, a bikini that is attached at the front center and open on the back. The monokini is more conservative than a one piece, but without the stigma of being for older or fat people. It also wont come off as easily as a bikini would in waves.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.127.147.218 (talk) 03:25, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  american meaning for monokini 

message: "Carol Doda [...] became the first topless dancer in the United States." Yes, there's a cited source for this, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous on its face. Ever hear of a thing called "burlesque", for example?

replies: text: Burlesque is not about toplessness. In fact it was originally called a "leg show". Topless burlesque is a very recent innovation. Carol Doda was the first topless burlesque dancer. For more on Carol Doda check: The Strange Case of the Walking Corpse by Nancy Butche, A Diary of the Underdogs by Don Alberts, Striptease : The Untold History of the Girlie Show by Rachel Shteir, Bathsheba's Breast by James S. Olson, Erotic City : Sexual Revolutions and the Making of Modern San Francisco by Josh Sides. There's more if you want. Aditya(talk • contribs) 04:52, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
