Swimsuits – California’s Gold (7006)
Whether for taking in the waters or taking in the sun, California beaches have long been a destination for vacationers and locals alike. That much hasn’t changed, but what has changed dramatically is what both men and women wear to the beach.
Huell is joined by a Hollywood costume designer to find out how California culture, especially movies, influence what people wear to the shore everywhere. And who better to talk about bathing suits than Esther Williams? Huell interviews the “Million Dollar Mermaid” poolside.
