I was 19 or so and relatively newly broken up with my first girlfriend. I had a girlfriend from a really young age for many, many years when I was at school. I was kind of single and then I started experiencing wild things. Among other things, I went to Valentino's. I used to deliver drinks in the VIP area and was already a bird of paradise back then with shaved eyebrows, make-up and a naked torso, so I was able to work there. And then I met a - young people would say MILF - let's say she was my age now, about 40, for me she was old, I was 19. And I thought she was really hot, I was single and after work she said: Well, what are you up to, will you come to my place? I said, all right, and off I went in her Porsche. We then drove to her big house in a rich neighborhood and she said to me: Will you stay with me for a few days? I have three days' vacation. I thought, ey, it's Friday, I have to go to school on Monday, I was in the middle of my A-levels. And she was like, whatever. I was like: I don't have any clothes: she was like: I'll buy you everything, tomorrow is Saturday, we can go shopping. And then I spent three days with her and had the time of my life. And then she said to me: I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I was like: What do you do for a living? She said: Well, if you had booked me, it would have been a really expensive long weekend for you. That means I was with a prostitute without knowing it. She then told me where she worked, practically in a luxury brothel and because she was older, she was the madam, so to speak. 10 years or so later, I saw her again at some party. She recognized me, I recognized her, we passed each other and gave each other a professional nod and then went our separate ways.
