128. I'm guessing you grew up in the U.S., then?
Is there any reason to believe this pic was taken in the U.S.? Also, by the time that bikini song came out, bikinis were already a fad. The song came out in 1960. Also, you mention Wyoming, if that's where you grew up, it's very little surprise that you didn't see a bikini until the 60s. I would like to challenge you on this law that forbade showing the navel until after the 60s. If you show me a link, I'd be more than happy to believe you, but I searched for it and found nothing of the sort.

Here are pictures from the 50s showing girls in string bikinis:
