[WikiEN-l] Titanic, illustrated

Tony may have confused "garland fig-leafing" with "flat-chestedness":

* The female centaurs in that sequence were originally bare-breasted, 
but the Hays office insisted that discreet garlands be hung around 
their necks.

(I guess it helps if you've actually seen the movie.)

... Hey, how about the mermaids in Disney's Peter Pan? (And Tinkerbell's

figure leaves little to the imagination; and wasn't there an erotic
spanking 
scene, which caused her to shed fairy dust?)
