Body Double




In my past...

I've been told

that I resemble

Hollywood stars

and super models...

In fact, I could've been

except for the fact

that I was shy

and only just a

little over five foot five.

In those days,

I lost more...

than just my

baby fat.

Those beauty pagent promoters

pestered my parents persistantly...

until I told them I wasn't interested

and refused to wear a BRA.

After peace-outs and college,

I lived on the coast

and was approached

by a pimpy pornographer

who tried to tell me

he could sell me

and we'd both make

a whole lot of money...

But, like the others,

I assured him

and answered with clout:

This gal doesn't sell out.

Author's Note: all true....and my first nickname for 4 years was "Twiggy" . I was 12 going on 21 in 1966, when my mom coerced me to cut my hair short.
Yeah, it's disgusting- these dudes prey on young girls, they seek gullible girls they think will be easy targets.
