Hahaha! Oh dear Michael ... it's a slippery road from there!
Belly laughs here! :-) x

This brought a smile to my face because of the innocence you spoke of and how you spoke of it then I got a real kick in the gut with the realisation (with the last lines) that this was far better than what you'd had to do in reality and I was overcome with sadness and felt a little bitter that you like many of us have had to suffer at other peoples hands.

Hopefully that makes sense.
Take care

Judging comment:

Oh, what a beautiful write, with a amusing twist to the story in the end. From when the lady in question was introduced, her charm was exquisite. You described her flawlessly. And when it was revealed to us (the readers) that this alluring lady was a mannequin -
her sophistication, her poise were of an immovable object - it was remarkably amusing. Very well penned.
