Then to have that expectation turned on its head--- the somewhat (and somehow) illicit delight of seeing her in racy Western attire such as a bikini or lingerie. Like a secret revealed.
Nancy Kwan was not the only Asian girl who fit this profile in her era...though she was certainly the most famous. There was also Irene Tsu. And of course there was Mie Hama, who played the white bikinied side kick of James Bond at the end of "You Only Live Twice".

"In Japan, man always comes first". A good Bond pun, reused (and extended) in one of the Austin Powers films.
