Breast Size and Shape Trouble Impressionable Adolescent in New Novel
Based on true events, the novel by author, Darlene F. Wofford, certainly gives 'grown-ups' food for thought in regard to leaving adult magazines around for children's impressionable eyes to ponder.
Already controversial due to a scene deemed as graphic, "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember" raises eyebrows as the author's alter ego, 10-year old Delaney Rutherford peeks at pictures of nude women. The caper takes place in her best friend's attic where the older brother has stashed "Playboy-like" magazines in an old trunk. For a naïve and impressionable adolescent such as Delaney, who has never even seen a brassiere, the pictures are quite a sight to behold, stirring her curiosity, "Will I ever look like these women?" She finds one article of particular interest about the size and shape of a woman's breasts, and the words she reads that afternoon troubles her.

The RoadLoK® motorcycle locking system is now featured on every bike produced by the Logi 2da0 c Motor Company. Logic's founder Rick Hoffman, known in the industry as "Big Rick" and who gained national recognition when GEICO Motorcycle featured him in an advertising campaign, personally chose the RoadLoK to be the standard security system for all of his logically-designed motorcycles.
"After seeing the RoadLoK work for the first time I was instantly sold - it's something you have to see work to understand. I know why GEICO endorses these locks, and so will everyone else when they get theirs," commented Big Rick. "The first bike I put the RoadLoK on was one of my Witch Doctors that American Iron was riding from Daytona Beach to Connecticut for a test. We put the lock on the morning it was going out, and it's been on there ever since. It literally ran all the way up the coast without incident.
