I mean, respectable ones, too. They're a service for folks who do not have good plumbing at home, which tells you a lot about the practicality of French socialism.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow ... I would very much like like to find illustrations of Parisian public baths, but I do not necessarily expect to be successful. <BR/><BR/>North African women in my time period removed all their body hair. Not by waxing, I think. Probably used a pair of twisting strings (ouch) and (ouch) plucking.<BR/><BR/>At least a few Parisian prostitutes removed their pubic hair. We have paintings.<BR/><BR/>But what they did in the public baths ...<BR/>(jo makes note to self -- must do research on Parisian public baths of the Eighteenth Century.)<BR/><BR/>I am wary of researching this kinda stuff. The googlepath is strewn with raunchy sites. Quite aside from the ick factor, these sites are loaded with spyware and viruses.Jo Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457862962618886252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-8725047900619866782009-02-08T07:55:00.000-05:002009-02-08T07:55:00.000-05:00Hi DLS --I'd like to put in a bit of a book burnin...Hi DLS --<BR/><BR/>I'd like to put in a bit of a book burning. <BR/><BR/>You know how folks have pictures in their head of What Symbolizes The Fall of Civilization ...?
