OPT-OUT CLAUSE:

Whilst Camille is happy to share her past lovers with web viewers she does not wish to disclose the true identity or whereabouts of Jerry. In her mind she wishes to fast forward to her cruise where all the action took place on the top deck of the ship in darkness.

Where he opened up his cigarette case, asking her whether she would like a cigarette or not and, having said yes, then proceeded to place two cigarettes in his mouth, lit them both and then offered her one back. As she gazed into his eyes, no words were necessary but she knew her mother would not approve and could not risk her getting hold of her username to contact Jerry and ruin the best time of her life.






Back in the 70's I had my fair share of penfriends at home and abroad.

Postal mail back then (or Snail Mail) as it was known on account of how long it could take for letters to arrive - especially abroad) has since evolved into the social networking sites that we know today like Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, and Hi5.

Whilst i am not adverse to being apart to this modern society, I like to play things close to my chest. Facebook, though highly addictive, has been identified as an online treasure trove for pirates who hone in on ordinary folk who like to talk about themselves and sometimes the damage is irretrievable.

Life was a lot simpler and safer back then and anyone who can remember, as I do, those teenage magazines from the 70's like My Guy, Blue Jeans, Jackie, Loving, Photo Love, will recall that having your photograph and home address published when asking for penpals was quite 'routine' and in hindsight very trusting. Not a practice that anyone with an ounce of sense would dare contemplate in this day and age.

Through such magazines that helped to launch the careers of many film and music stars, there was no hidden agenda.

A penfriend relationship back then was basically aimed at writing to people in your own age group with similar hobbies and interests.

It was often used to practice writing to someone in a foreign language and being able to read letters back in the same way; to learn about other cultures and to build friendships which often resulting in personal meet-ups. Your parents did not disapprove and it was more than likely them who would post your letters for you and buy the stamps. There was nothing covert about it.

These days people are after a lot more information as identity fraud is on the increase.

Oh Boy magazine, dating back to 1978, was created for 'loved-up' teenage girls where photos were used for stories and in which the characters amusingly communicated in speech bubbles. To quote the writers : "if your dreams are of boys we'll make them come true" it is no wonder I was infected by the thought of true romance.


With another vintage magazine Oh Boy having now been the inpiration for Ohio (USA)' hottest gay magazine OHBoy, my bubble has been somewhat burst as Facebooks partner site 'Twitter' has taken it over.

I am sure it is getting a lot more HITS on the Web than the Bay City Rollers had on Top Of The Pops, hey guys and gals? (Say, whatever happened to Jimmy Saville)?

DR.JASQUITH: "I thought you said you had come to Facebook to have a nervous breakdown."

CHARLOTTE: "About that. I've decided not to have one. My mother said I was no more ill than a moulting canary. Well she certainly ruffled my feathers and thanks to you doctor you turned this ugly duckling into a beautiful swan."
