Confession Time
Sometimes, when we are still young, we can do very silly things. I’m no exception to it. I did something in a moment of weakness that has haunted me for the rest of my life. Things like this can cause problems in later life when people may try to blackmail you into doing things you would never normally do. As was the case here.I thought the evidence was lost a long time ago but the proof of my folly was found in an old shoebox and I may as well bring it in the open before it leaks out.
I did something terrible. When I was much younger, I posed in the nude for a photo session and it has solicited mixed reactions all round. The men laughed at me when they saw it, schoolgirls giggled, grown-up women though it was cute, old ladies stared at it with interest but nobody ever offered to buy a copy.
Please don’t judge me, for I did not know what I was doing at the time. I think my bottle was spiked with something because I cannot remember ever giving consent for the photo to be taken.
They knew I always wanted the photo and it was used to blackmail me into going with my father and sister to see the festive decorations in Cape Town during December. I find it a bore and last did it as a child.
Well, I wanted the photo and had to give into their demands. I would have done better negotiating with the devil for they extorted yet another promise out of me before handing the photo over but I’m not going to elaborate on that.
My father gave me the assurance that the negative was lost in the fire that destroyed my grandfather’s house about 2 or 3 years after it was taken and that the photo is the only one in existence. So I now hold all the evidence. They will have to find something else to blackmail me with next time.
Now have a great day out there and don’t go posing in the nude.

Sorry about the sequence but I had to fix my mathematical error on the first comment.
You were such a cute toddler I mean, you're still cute now........
I will take that as a compliment; accepted with grace instead of the normal 'I know'.
I'm a bit dense today. The first comment was correct. I was 10 months and 9 days at the time.
Gonna delete it again?
Hiya Cat, hope all is well and your mailbox will light up like a Christmas tree with these photos.
No, the damage is done. I should have left it as it was in the first place.
Were you ready to have a bath outside?
Got dog!
You look like a girl!...
I think that! They played you! dude. IMO...
They set you up!......
Yep, The photo went missing about 20 years ago and I was the prime suspect. Only I never had the opportunity otherwise I would have swiped it. When I sold my house a few months ago I returned some carton boxes to my dad which he had in storage in my loft. And guess what came out when he went through his old junk!
Well so much for a modeling career cut short.
I could have been famous today if the had the savvy to get a pro to take the pic.
to have you arrested
Now I know why I prefer to bath above having a shower.
The pic was taken on my grandfather's farm and that water was pumped out a well for irrigation purposes. From what I heard the water was 'hard' and not good for washing purposes. It was known to discolor you teeth if you drank it for years.
Yeah, they set me up. Prrobably doped me with something in my milk.
You're right nobody would noticed
If you would look at that photo! And look at the back side of that baby. It has a lot of junk, in the trunk! (butt!)..........
They played you! dude.
More junk in the trunk! Means Butt. In America
There's a song name
Berta Gotta Big Ole Butt!...
That Ain't Bob!.......
Just look at the eyes and the butt......
Such is the folly of youth.
My only regret is that it took me 62 years to gain possession of it. To think it sat right on top of me in my loft for the last twenty odd years.
I'm still hunting for another one - taken the same day - where I'm better dressed. I hope that it will also pop up now that my father is going through the stuff.
I always behave.
Eishh, my finger slipped. Wring emoticon!
That photo has a history in the family. I always wanted it but my dad would not let me have it. Then it disappeared and the general believe was that I took it. And now it surfaced again and to obtain it, I had to agree to do something I hate. Ah well, when you really want something, you have to deliver sometimes.
That is most unlikely. It took a lot of persuasion to have the pics that I use in my profile taken. I don't like having pics taken at all so there are only two chances that I would do a thing like that; a dog's chance and no chance.
Sure it is.........
You really want to believe that, don't you.
I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the pic as I cannot remember about it but I was raised with the believe that it is a pic of me. It certainly is not one of my late brothers as they were darker in skin with black hair.
How did your brothers, get darker then you?
My two brothers took after my mother's family who are dark skinned while My sister and I look like my father's family.
There is another photo, apparently taken later the same day - Where I'm dressed in a supernan T-shirt, that I'm after now. It disappeared the same time. I phone my dad every day to spur him to look for it. It is probably in another old shoebox.
