Summary

NoS Summary - a beauty parade modelling eccentric swimwear.
NoS synopsis: "Just in case Summer comes, girls, here are some of the new Californian fashions in bathing dresses -". The camera pans across some weird and wonderful outfits. "Socks and stockings give the answer to whose hose -". The girls all wear knee socks and some wear what look like wrestling boots. Pan across the girls legs to show their socks and stockings. Girls walk in front of the camera and do a twirl. There are some very unusual outfits and one girl with very long hair worn loose. ""Passed unanimously!"". One girl (the winner of a competition perhaps) poses for the camera in C/U.
