Her life is summarised as follows: "Colourful bohemian whose frank and funny chronicle of her riotous life brought her late recognition as an author". One anecdote in particular links in to the story you described in your post: 'Many were those intent on conquering her. One exclaimed in is frustration, "the trouble is you're not like a proper virgin, all coy and embarrassed and ignorant. You may look innocent enough but every now and then you talk like an old French whore!"' May she rest in peace.

Miss Bright, an incredibly generous and very glamorous woman, with beautiful legs that even a very small boy noticed, worked for my mother. After "Brighty", that's what we called her, had lost her pilot boyfriend during WWII, she turned to 'comforting' those who made it back, for which she was paid...cash and in kind: hams, sugar, eggs, rationed items from which our family benfited too I'm told. My sister treasured a parachute silk skirt which, another of Miss Bright's bequests. Before she died, one of my birthday sharers, I have three, told me of her concurrent exploits with an Air Attaché at a British Embassy overseas, her lover in London and one of the guys she met while on assignment outside the UK. Both women were amongst the most generous I have met, and I told the latter, "Had I been born 50 years earlier, you wouldn't have given me a second look. But I'd have really tried to pursuade you."

I actually would love to be transported back because I bet it was so much fun finding out and learning in an age of innocence? I just love the clothes too and knowing what i know now, I think would have been spanked so much in school and beyond, that i wouldnt have sat down much for the nightly wars news on the radio and stood in the corner of the air raid shelters! It a shame that everything's too much on tap today and there aren't many new shocking adventures like this around. Emma xx lol, I’ve just ordered a couple of jelly dongs online :)
