I think if I could give one piece of advice to a younger woman, it would be "don't go up to a man's hotel room, meet him in the lobby instead." We are just so not expecting that behavior, and when it comes, it's such a shock. Thank you for sharing your story, Anissa. So creepy all this info that is coming out about him now.
I think we had to be more savvy in those days but it was also a time when people were inclined to talk about whether or not the woman was 'asking for it' based on the clothes she wore. When I was in the gracery trade press there was definitely talk of these sorts of goings on at Harrod's and one of the famous hotels.
Anissa I can't be the only person here entranced by the chair in your magazine cover photo!
Goodness, Anissa. That predatory behaviour that we're all coming to hear more and more of across the news is as strong in pattern here as it is in the stories of those far less fortunate women. I'm glad you were able to avoid his horrible traps and advance.
How creepy. You were lucky to escape. It is interesting to read the headlines on the magazine cover. Brings back memories. The war in Lebanon was not really over yet.

You are right Elise. I am happy I escaped the sad fate of all these girls 😢
really really funny Anissa! yet disturbing as well!
I agree. Imagine what would have happened to me if I had gone to the Scottish castle!!!

Too funny about the chair. It was the 70's after all :)
So many creepers. It seems to not ever stop. Glad you were so savvy. The photograph of you is stunning.
What a story! Glad you sensed how to deal with such behaviour, so it makes for a fun read rather than a sad one :)

True 😊
Sensible woman, Anissa! Maybe we were more savvy, in those days.
Or men were less aggressive?
No.
