Like you I always had a very strong intuition about people and a super strong sense of what was ok and what was weird. I was in a couple of situations as a child that could have ended badly, but my intuition and speaking out saved me. Still now, I listen to my intuition when it tells me there's something off about another person. I've not been wrong yet... <br /><br />Your art is gorgeous. I love those women you paint. And congrats on being featured on PPF!! Well deserved!!<br /><br />Hugs, SilkeSilke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-19202255558436225762014-07-27T07:44:30.279-07:002014-07-27T07:44:30.279-07:00I always am impressed by your art and your posts. ...I always am impressed by your art and your posts.

I love that you are so up front and direct about this even when it happened to you at such an early age and so many times! That's the problem isn't it, we're often too ashamed or embarrassed to speak to either at the time or even afterwards-good in you for doing both.

The owner was a lawyer who put a gag order on all of us? Who knows, he was probably lying but we didn't know. Scary place. I looked like a 10 year old at age 20 so they didn't do much to me. I was lucky? Have things changed since the 80's?

And, of course, not to go anywhere with anyone unless we have told him in advance. All that being said - all those guys just saw a chance to molest a young girl who wouldn't tell.
