[This notice probably belongs in net.women, but we don't get it, so...] I just wanted to call people's attention to the article 'In Las Vegas: Working Hard for the Money' by Jane O'Reilly which appeared in the Aug. 27 TIME. O'Reilly covers the indelicate subject of ladies' room attendants and their clients in the casinos of Las Vegas, and her article has to be the funniest, most human article I've ever seen in TIME magazine. This issue of TIME magazine hit the stands 5 days late here in Utah, and I wonder if it was because of this article... It has some pretty crude things to say (do you know the definition of a 'bimbo-in-training'? *) but it softens them with very sympathetic observation. I've never entered a ladies' restroom, but now I feel like I've BEEN there (ouch!). Find it if you can.
