Re: EW

There's no question that EW was quite a lothario. They had trouble, then,
to fine good looking models. Ansel would ask, "Why do we always end up with
models who don't shave their legs, and bathe only occasionally?" At that
time, it was because the 'clean women' didn't take their clothes off for the
camera.

Oh, well.
