Getting dressed

My model rung me to
apologise for being late because she needed to shave
her legs. She arrived and we did some interesting
work. The incident reminded me of a book I have been
reading, "Dirt, Undress and Difference - critical
perspectives on the body's surface" Adeline
Masquelier ed, Indiana University Press
2005.
There is a description of a strip dancer preparing for work. It goes into detail for three pages (96-98). This makes me think about the whole notion of what is dressed and what is undressed and which bits to show and which bits to hide. Certainly the dancer took great care in presenting her body in a particular way. She took longer than most people to get 'dressed' for work!
We all have the right to present our bodies the way we choose.
