I'm reading Helen Gurley Brown's bio, a well written and straightforward piece of work by Scanlon. Thousands of years ago, Helen and I worked for Stauffer Reducing and traveled the country taking "after" photos of ex-fatties. I stayed down in the bar of the hotel at night drinking and playing poker with the boys and thinking I was a hotshot, while Helen was up in her room all alone, working on a portable typewriter and writing "Sex and the Single Girl." well into the night.
During this period of flushing out women who had reduced with Stauffer, Helen, on vacation, sent me the following postcard from Hawaii: It read: "I had to get down to get laid."
