Pretty Woman


My dad had a subscription to Playboy Magazine. Not infrequently, I'd grab a couple of his magazines, lock myself in the bathroom and study the photos. To this day I remember the April 1969 issue: Brigitte Bardot.

Va,va, va, voom! She was the most beautiful creature I'd ever laid eyes upon. I stole away to the bathroom with the Brigitte Bardot issue not once, not twice but multiple times.

I was ten, a girl and, as it turns out, totally straight. Still, the naked Brigitte Bardot mesmerized me. I hadn't yet discovered masturbation (that wouldn't come for another two years), so I did the only thing I knew to do... sit on the toilet and stare.

I wonder what it was about her that so beguiled me....
