...audience claps itself into a frenzy as Sergeant Sacrifice, played by Dean Gregory, comes to life, an American commando rigged up in military gear and black spandex pants. He struts and dances to the insistent thump of the disco hit "It's Raining Men" and strips down to a lame jockstrap Buttocks shaking, hips gyrating, Sergeant Sacrifice thrusts his pelvis into people's faces, makes women in the audience kiss him. Gay or straight, the audience seems enraptured by this naked maniac. He is generic sexual energy, writhing through the theater. The theatrical connection is made as never before...

Their cigarette smoke makes haze of the atmosphere; their singing and screaming and chanting and ranting produce an unholy, stupefying, din. They are painted like puppets; they contort and disport to uncanny visual effect...
Another maillot variation appears alongside Halston's hot pink: Norma Kamali's shirred-front, low-cut version in red Spandex. Maillots are less substantial than they seem. Says Tilley: "I wanted to see how little it took to hold the maillot together. It took a mere half-inch of thread-about as much as a string bikini." The jade model worn by Cheryl weighs 3 oz. "The maillot reveals the best and conceals the worst," says Halston. "It's sexier than an unruly curve." Many curves will be covered this summer but more visible than ever. Pace...
