Ah, Miss Eaton’s cherished portrayal of Jilly Masterson. She didn’t die (see urban myths busted) and sponsored a whole modern generation of painted S I swim-suited posers
Ronda Rousey, professional mixed martial artist, was featured in a 2016 S I, appearing to wear a beaded one-piece.. Lindsey Vonn, gold-medal-winning skiier, stripped down for the magazine, shedding her winter uniform. Caroline Wozniacki, Serena Williams’s friend and competitor, did so as well.
On break in St Lucia a year or so ago I accidentally walked into another magazine paint-suit shoot. I apologized and turned to leave them to it.
But someone on set took me for a prop person and asked me to get them water. I complied. Returning with the bottle I realized after a few minutes that only one of us was dressed. And guys really can not use just paint.
Which, it occurs to me, would boost SCF readership enormously if instead of asking us to sort out between sterling and plate we had to rack our brains to sort out between silver paint and cloth.
It’s not easy and takes careful study, dedication and concentration One might write a book on the art:
“Silver with no lining”
