European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 28, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Wednesday August 28, 1991 the stars and stripes Page 19 Ann Landers dear readers i am on vacation but i have left behind some of my favorite columns that you May have missed the first time around. I Hope you enjoy them Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i done to want you to think we re a Bunch of crazy kids but seven of us a 15 to 17 years of age a were sitting around last night comparing our belly buttons. Four of the Guys had belly buttons that were recessed. One girl and two Guys had belly buttons that stuck out. We All agreed the ones that stuck out were quite ugly. No one knew the reason for the difference and we were wondering if anything could be done to change a belly Button once it was there. The girl with the ugly one said she might want to be a belly dancer and her a a imperfections could be an occupational Hazard. Will you please give us some information on this subject students of Anatomy dear students i things must be pretty Dull in your crowd if you have to sit around comparing belly buttons. But people have been contemplating their navels for quite some time and your questions sound like an honest search for information. The belly Button is what is left of the Cord that linked you to your Mother before you were born. The prettiest ones Are neatly rounded and slightly sunken. The protruding kind somehow did not close deeply enough but no harm was done. It is possible to have a surgeon beautify a Navel if a person wants to go through the expense time and trouble but its hardly Worth it a even for an aspiring belly dancer.
