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.uh oh

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.shock

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.wow

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.hmmm

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.doh

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.hole

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.idea
cats meow cats meow

Now have a great day out there and don’t go posing in the nude.wave

The photo was taken by my father on the 2nd of January 1953, which makes me 10 months and 19 days at the time.

Hi Mimi
Sorry about the sequence but I had to fix my mathematical error on the first comment.
hug wave
It's ok Catfoot hug

You were such a cute toddler smitten I mean, you're still cute now........ grin
Hi Mimi
I will take that as a compliment; accepted with grace instead of the normal 'I know'.laugh

I'm a bit dense today. The first comment was correct. I was 10 months and 9 days at the time.

So how now?

Gonna delete it again? giggle giggle giggle
Good blog, Cat! thumbs up I really enjoyed reading it! Good, that the fire happened..well, oops- I mean, good for you now! beer Of course surely noone else was happy with that fire to occur..doh
Not that I did terrible things, but I'm glad that camera phones and Facebook weren't around when I was a teenager. laugh

Hiya Cat, hope all is well and your mailbox will light up like a Christmas tree with these photos. grin
Hi Mimi
No, the damage is done. I should have left it as it was in the first place.doh

Hi, Cat;

Were you ready to have a bath outside?laugh wave
Bob.

bunny Got dog!


dancing You look like a girl!...giggle

I think that! They played you! dude. IMO... uncertain


They set you up!......rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Calleis
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!grin

Hi KN
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. laugh rolling on the floor laughing
hug wave
I don't know Cat, but in these days reason enough

to have you arrestedcheers
Hi Phoenix
Now I know why I prefer to bath above having a shower.grin

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.

Hi Angel
Yeah, they set me up. Prrobably doped me with something in my milk. rolling on the floor laughing

laugh Bob.
More junk in the trunk! Means Butt. In America rolling on the floor laughing

There's a song name

Berta Gotta Big Ole Butt!...beer
laugh Calliop!

That Ain't Bob!.......rolling on the floor laughing

Just look at the eyes and the butt......laugh
Hi Calli
Such is the folly of youth.rolling on the floor laughing

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.doh

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.
hug wave
Hi Lou
I always behave.liar

Eishh, my finger slipped. Wring emoticon!doh

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.

Hi Usha
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.laugh rolling on the floor laughing
hug wave
Bob.
Sure it is.........rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Angel
You really want to believe that, don't you.laugh

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.grin
hug wave
Bob.

uh oh How did your brothers, get darker then you?
Cat, that is one cute picture. I would have supposed as an ad photo of Swiss milk? They'd have paid your parents a lot of dough. It's cute Cat.cheers
Hello there my dear Angel. And Lou and everyone. wine hug
Hi Angel
My two brothers took after my mother's family who are dark skinned while My sister and I look like my father's family.
hug wave
Hi Lindsy
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.
