That was my thought when I was watching the end of Jay Leno, and he had Charlotte Church singing a bolero type tune in a tight red dress… I swear she must be 12 or 13…I mean last Christmas or sometime she was on TV, just a little bitty kid - and somewhat strange looking - but my God! I had to change the channel out of fear for being arrested. Someone PLEASE tell me she really not a 12 year old. Or I am confusing her with some younger sister who sings. Or I am going to feel sick inside. At least Britney was New Mexico-legal when she came out… ---

So according to that chart, when Michelle Trachtenberg turns 16 in six days, she’ll be legal here in Georgia but not in California where she lives. Hmmm. I wonder if she’ll be a guest at next year’s Dragoncon? Pardon me now, I’m going to the men’s room to flagellate myself with my belt. ---

I’ll say this there are girls out there who unless they tell you they’re 16 you’d never guess they’d be under 21. Although you do kinda feel awkward carding a girl beforehand, kinda ruins the moment too. Makes me long for the days when I could lust after young girls and I could get away with it since they were older then me. They recently tried to change the law here not sure if they did. But they way they had planned it you could get scenarios like this. She’s 15 you’re 17, go for it. You turn 18 now she’s illegal. She turns 16 go for it. You turn 19 she’s illegal again. Wierd huh? ---
