I can't fault Judy Blume. One of her books introduced me to the concept of jerking off when I was a kid.

We must. We must. We must increase our bust.

Blume hasn't really let her books be adapted. She let her son do a film of Tiger Eyes, and of course there was the Fudge tv series, but there are so many others. Glad to see she's relented here. Hope the moment hasn't passed for some of the classics a lot of DLers grew up with.

I still wonder what a “training bra” is practically for, looks like, etc. However, googling one probably gets you put in a Child Welfare watch list (if they’re even still made.)

I hope Hilary Brite, the big breasted playmate Margaret and her friends look at in a clandestine issue of Playboy makes a festive and furtive appearance.

R4 I did work for an organization that held a benefit that celebrated women authors. Blume was always on the get list, but she never relented. She’s the opposite of thirsty.

My best friend in junior high was the girl who got a copy of the REALLY dirty one (Forever), and passed it around, complete with highlighted and bookmarked "good" parts.

I was thoroughly disgusted by it, but pretended it was because I was Catholic, not that I didn't want to read about boys having sex with girls.

I can't wait for the think pieces about how not all girls get periods transphobes!

R8 We did that, too. I remember a segment where the boy came on the girl’s hand.

R8 in junior high I got my hands on the REALLY dirty one, Wifey, which was Judy’s first adult novel. There was a scene where a man in a motorcycle helmet stood outside the main character’s bedroom window and she watched him jerk off.

r5, they lo9k like an unwired bra made of t shirt material. A bra length cami. They are intended to have nipples be not prominent and quell any initial or implied bounciness. They're more of a way to get a girl used to wearing a bra than any kind of real bra. more like a males undershirt tanktop.

Wifey was meh. It was trying to be Portnoy’s Complaint.
