My oldest friend, Elizabeth, came out as a lesbian at 48.

Excited by the freedom she found as a member of this culture, she went off to a women’s retreat one weekend, where she and four other attendees posed naked for the camera. She sent me the photo that resulted, telling me that she thought she had the best bottom of the group, thus the smirk on her face as she turns toward us.

What do you think? Why is the woman on the far left wearing underpants?
