The Price of Beauty, Part 2
Is there a correlation between marital status and your willingness to do what it takes to be sexually attractive? A few years back, I was invited to a formal winter wedding in an elegant Manhattan hotel. I had one fancy dress in my closet that would work. Except I’d be freezing. My fashion friend took me shopping for a suitable wrap, and made me promise to wear it, not as a muffler, but draped low around my elbows. “Just suffer,” she said. Once out of her view, I bundled up.
