Good lord. I don’t know quite what to say, apart from: how does getting married to a young surgeon in the Indian Army give you body hair? Surely this woman would already be used to it, if she’s gone through puberty? I don’t understand.

I love the photo and how they call her this lady then all of a sudden they just throw her name in.

I read something somewhere recently that said moving to a hot country can increase the growth of body hair. I can’t find it now, though. :(

Well from personal experience the summer means my beard and what remains of my hair grows quicker, so not a great surprise.
Reckon the great secret was a pair of tweezers.

Dirty foreign countries make you hairy, evidently. I remember talking to a boy from the Catholic boys’ sixth form who didn’t realise women actually grew hair on their legs…
