  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Too many travel guides are dry lists of attractions or portentous histories of a place. This isn't the case with &lt;i&gt;The Thong Also Rises.&lt;/i&gt; Hot on the (high) heels of &lt;i&gt;Sand in My Bra&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Whose Panties Are These?&lt;/i&gt; comes this collection of the best in women&amp;#8217;s travel and humor writing. These Ms-adventures take readers around the world and back again &amp;#8212; and they&amp;#8217;ll be happy to be reading rather than experiencing some of these adventures. Subjects include learning how to go to the bathroom with a pig in Thailand, trying to explain that sex toy to customs while Mother is watching, attending naked wedding ceremonies on Valentine&amp;#8217;s Day in Jamaica, conquering that consuming fear of wooden puppets with a visit to Prague, boarding a crusty old Soviet Bomber in Laos, and more. Contributors include such notable writers and comedians as Jill Connor Browne, Wanda Sykes, Laurie Notaro, Wendy Dale, and Ayun Halliday.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
