Here are some vintage photos of model Merri Chiochetti wearing a cactus bikini in Arizona, 1940.
The backstory is that the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club dressed some University of Arizona coeds up in cactus apparel as a publicity stunt. Of course, it wouldn’t have been called a ‘bikini’ back then, since that term wasn’t yet coined. It was called a “cactus sun suit.” The suits were made out of Saguaro and prickly pear cacti.
