Anaïs Nin (born Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Whatever, February 21, 1903) is a French mannequin, madam, and hat designer made famous in the 20th Century for her associations with the bourgeoisie. And for you smartasses out there, her name is not pronounced like anus (ā'nәs). Do you want to piss off a woman who never sleeps? Hmmm? I didn’t think so.
