Naturally, the subject turns to love, sex and the vagaries of men.As the afternoon progresses, these vibrant women share their secrets, their regrets and their often outrageous stories about, among other things, how to fake one’s virginity, how to escape an arranged marriage, how to enjoy the miracles of plastic surgery and how to delight in being a mistress. By turns revealing and hilarious, these are stories about the lengths to which some women will go to find a man, keep a man or, most important, keep up appearances.This Month's New Book Club Book!Jimmy Corrigan by Chris Warehttps://www.facebook.com/vfcomicsandgraphicswww.vfcomicsandgraphics.comYoutubehttps://www.instagram.com/vfcomicspodcast/https://mobile.twitter.com/vfcomicsmarcushttps://www.patreon.com/vfcomicspodcast?fan_landing=true
