Keywords (With): +Blonde +Shower +Bikini

A very knowledgeable, long time IMDb user, MayorDefacto, sent me this PM.

The negate operator can be used with other parameters to reverse their result.

Changing the commas to pipes (that vertical bar symbol [|] usually located at the far right of the topmost (QWERTY...) alphabetical line of keys on standard keyboards) will result in a logical OR of the parameters instead of AND. This process cannot be instituted from the user interface. It requires manual adjustment of the URL.

Here it is:
