Who is she? We don't know, so let’s just call her an anonymous seeker of the South Seas sun, one who typifies the thousands of sun seekers who are currently filling the hotels, the bars, the swimming pools of the South Seas tourist resorts this hot January. Lee Pearce took the photograph of the young lady’s midriff at the Fijian Hotel, near Sigatoka, although the pho tographer himself this January is far away from the summer he captures so well—in cold London.
