	Fashionable Discourse
		The one-piece bathing suit, which had been popularized by the champion swimmer and later star of vaudeville and motion pictures, Annette Kellerman, was legally banned in some parts of the country.
		Kellerman herself was arrested for indecent exposure when she first appeared in her "body stocking" style suit at Boston's Revere Beach in 1908, and responses toward her attire would not have been much different in many places throughout the United States until late in the 1920s.
		In any case, the "Annette Kellerman," or more simply, the one-piece bathing costume, was considered the most daring kind of bathing apparel and therefore became the focus of many censorship efforts, not to mention sarcastic innuendo.
