ANNE FRANK

Anne does seem to be a bit overly-concerned about her nightly routine..... she is, however, a teenage girl. Nightly doses of peroxide and manicures do seem a bit much.

I wash myself from head to toe, and more often than not I find a tiny flea floating in the sink (only during the hot months, weeks or days). I brush my teeth, curl my hair, manicure my nails and dab peroxide on my upper lip to bleach the black hairs — all this in less than half an hour.

Nine-thirty. I throw on my bathrobe. With soap in one hand, and potty, hairpins, panties, curlers and a wad of cotton in the other, I hurry out of the bathroom.
