Cathy Models the Harem Girl Outfit!

Cathy Models the 1940's Swimsuit Ensemble!

It's nothing short of a miracle.  Only days after giving birth to a healthy 10 lb. baby girl, my cousin Cathy was back in front of the camera, strutting her stuff on the beautiful beaches of Provincetown, Massachusetts.

In a series of echt Forties swimsuit ensembles, our new mother turned heads as she frolicked along the shoreline, striking poses not seen since Moon Over Miami.  And when this little mermaid hit the water, she really made waves!
