Where are the pictures of the bikini and the bombshell?

On a Honeymooners episode Jackie Gleason as Ralph agreed to think about the new bathing suit for his wife. At the counter in the store the man said he’d show him one example.

He took out a box and Ralph said
“Hold on, you’re tellin’ me you fit a whole bikini into that small box?”
Clerk: “No, sir. A dozen of them.”

Michele Bernardini was a nude dancer at the Cafe Paris
