Well, now, that's worth learning.

The only thing I knew about along these lines was some details from the journals that Flaubert kept of his travels in Egypt, except I think he thought in terms of shaving rather than plucking. He might have only observed the results, not the process.

I can add this information you have given me to the collection of borderline-embarrassing subjects for dinner-table conversation. The last one I collected was about ten days ago when I was talking with a woman in a hallway after a fiction reading, who is herself a novelist. She had on what seemed a quite modest dress that went up her neck. But I began to notice that there was a horizontal zipper across part of the upper part of the dress. "Candy, what's that zipper for?" I asked. She unzipped it and I looked in, thinking it was a pocket, and instead I saw parts of Candy and her brassiere. "I guess it's for easy access," she said, and zipped it back up.

I told that one Sunday night, to a table full of people, somewhat to my wife's surprise since she had not heard this either.

The truth is that I didn't really forward "Miss Afghanistan" to my wife. She thought the KrispieKreme calendar was pretty bad.
