Another vintage photo gleaned from some tumblr account, which strikes me as
pre-Tiki, maybe 30's/40's? judging by the hair stlye. I'd have to confess,
I'm fascinated by this kind of photograph, we've all heard the term "Tiki lifestyle"
and for me this type of picture embodies that sentiment, it's one thing for people
to attend a fancy dress party in a grass skirt but entirely another for someone, who
is probably fairly straight-laced in their normal day to day life, to pose in this manner,
particularly in the earlier part of last century.

I think we could safely assume in her normal day to day life being paid as a model is easier than being a prostitute?
