Interesting article about stage nudity and
female body in the Washington Post. Very honest.

I particularly like this line:
"In our culture, women’s sexuality doesn’t tend
to be funny. Women’s bodies are almost never a punchline the way men’s can be.
For better or worse, there is a cultural seriousness to female nudity. And when
women act sexy, at best they are setups for punchlines: Meg Ryan’s
extended fauxgasm in “When Harry Met Sally” wasn’t the joke; it was the
tension-building prelude . “I’ll have what she’s having” was the joke."
