They must be out of the traditional hammer & sickle molds? How about the donkey molds?

Here ya go. They were called "Bullet Bras". Here's a modest real example, Patti Page from 1955.

Madonna was known to wear them in her shows, too.

I remember Madonna wearing one in a video.
It was actually creepy. A young boy wants to see her peep show.
They wind up dancing in the streets...

I’ve seen the movie, but so long ago don’t remember any scenes from it, including this one. Old age I guess.

Yes.

The change in sleeping position came between my oldest and the twins.

Child #1 stomach...2 and 3 on their backs.

Their heads somehow were all fine, but I recall my niece had that strange lollipop head shape for a long time. She is 17 now and absolutely lovely.

If I had a pumpkin head like they're after, I'd put a facekini over it too. And a bag over it.

phrenology. I seem to remember a western movie, maybe Marlon Brando, maybe a bounty hunter, would measure outlaws head after he killed them to prove his theory or something like that.
