    What the actual fuck. This article is repulsive. The line just under her cover page picture is fucked up, the whole article is fucked up. I hate to even have this shit attached to my profile, but I’m going to transcribe this shitty article to be best ability so ya’ll can read this shit for yourselves.

    Culture Hera Brooke Shields Million-dollar jailbait: She must have been a beautiful baby because today she’s America’s most famous 12-year-old hooker. by Ed Dwyer

    Article

    The most perfect nymphette in all creation has been found - in America. Her name is Brooks Shields. Brooke’s hair is elegant brown and clean, her skin pale and puritan, her eyes sinfully blue and her lean body just starting to curve into womanhood. She’s a sultry mix of all-American virgin and nascent whore. She’s the hottest new young thing in movies since a smoldering preteen named ElizabethTaylor stiffened up Louie Mayer’s cigar. She is only 12 years old and destined to be the sex symbol of 1984. In Louise Malle’s steamy Pretty Baby, Brooke is Violet, a baby prostitute raise to the chicken trade by her hooker mother (Susan Sarandon). The Frenchman’s film centers on the bordello in the old Storyville district of New Orleans, where Violet lives. The year is 1967, and smack in the middle of that red-light area, bubblin’ with sin, smoke and jazz, crows and female child raise on a diet of cock money. Patrician Brooke is devastating as a little lady who fucks and sucks for bucks. She eases like a vegan through moods that alternate between vulnerable, hot, angelic, mocking and sinful. She seduces both Keith Carradine and the camera in erotic scenes guaranteed to remain sensational for years. Brooke took to Violet’s story like a white takes to champagne. What’s more, is is intoxicating to watch.

    Brooke Shields is a sultry mix of all-American virgin and whore.

    Brooke’s looks have been her business all her young life. Extraordinarily beautiful even as an infant, Brooke was immediately steered by her mother, ex-model Terri Shields, into a modeling career. Her huge portfolio includes stints as the Ivory baby, a Breck girl, a Colgate kid, plus scads of cover-girl appearances in both women’s and family magazines. She’s been playing the prepubescent vamp since she was eight. At that tender age, she dropped her Garters(?) for a photographer and posed nude. Later she camped it up suggestively in full Victorian bimbo rig - garter belt, silk stockings, high heels. Brooke became a favorite subject for premier photographers like Avedon and Scavullo. By day she was the face that sold, at night she was the princess of wet dreams. Her torrid freshness became an underground legend among the talent set. Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable Brooke Sheilds to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal but oh so sweet. Welcome to the end of innocence Brookie. Now with Pretty Baby done, Brooke is being flooded with movie proposals. So far, she’s been inked to play the teenage Lucretia Borgia in an upcoming period thriller. And she is slated to star as the tormented young murderess in Alfred Sole’s Communion. By law she’s not permitted to expose her endearing young charms in a magazine until she’s 18. Nevertheless, Brooke recently posed starkers for a lavish Penthouse pictorial spread. Brooke is the first serious actress to violate the preteen sex taboo. Unlike pugnacious Jodie Foster or puerile Tatum O’Neal, she’s the delicious stuff of teenage fantasies become flesh; barely old enough to want, but too young to get. A sweet bird of youth, she comes armed with a sultry self-possession that alarms the sexually insecure adult. A mere prediction of a woman, she stirs erotic passions often better left unsatisfied. She’s a sweet temptation to all but blind men and eunuchs. She’s sister, daughter, sex object, victim, lover, tramp. We can look forward to watching her fill out over the next decade. Brooke Shields is not use another pretty baby; baby.

    Hooooly shiiitt. You have NO IDEA how many times I just about threw this whole transcription away and said nope, fuck no. JFC. The ONLY reason I’m leaving this repulsive trash up here is so ya’ll can read how truly fucked up this author is. What the fuck became of this guy? Is he in jail? Looks like maybe this is the guy responsible for the creation of the High Times magazine?

      PSA: if you use Google to search by an image, it lets you select and copy the text. On Android it can be done by sharing to ‘Lens’, or going through the Google app. (Idk about iPhones.)

        I actually tried doing that the first time, but the text was garbled, which is why I ended up doing a manual transcription.

      I managed to get a few chapters into “Lolita” before I decided to put it down. It’s well written, but so very creepy. This text is like it’s written by the main character – maybe even a more honest version of him.

        It’s very clear that Nabokov despised and mocked most of his protagonists, with only a couple exceptions. Humbert is a loser with nothing interesting about him.

        Still some people somehow manage to interpret the book as a ‘defense’ of Humbert of sorts, or a fantasy. Seen this on Reddit.

        Lolita is meant to be disturbing. A horror story told from the perspective of a very unreliable narrator. Intellectually, I appreciate it, but I too could not get through it.

      Thank you for doing that, truly. It’s important to see just how freely pedophiles would do this shit if society lets them. So fucked.

      Please go take good care of yourself after transcribing this. This is the kind of stuff that affects mental health even in the strongest people.

        Those times were horrible.

        It makes me think about the Italian movie from the '80s called “Maladolescenza”, which is now considered child porn by many countries, thus illegal.

        Its writer and director just kept working for the Italian national television for many many years after that movie, up until the 2010’s if I recall correctly.

        I also saw a newspaper from the time in which they were interviewing people that came out of the movie theater, asking them what they thought of the movie. It was almost as disgusting as this article.

      I think that is ”nascent whore” in the first paragraph. Probably where the pull quote in the middle of the page is from. Also “whore takes to champagne.

      “Shie ld s” in the pull quote

      “Steer ed by her mother”

      That’s it, I quit. 🤮 I don’t know how you did the whole thing.

        Oh thanks, I missed those spelling mistakes. Was doing this on my iPad so I didn’t catch what autocorrect messed up, and tbh I didn’t really feel like proofreading it.
