PEOPLE: BROOKE SHIELDS

"They turn me on," Brooke Shields once said with a devious grin on The Arsenio Hall Show when the show's namesake mentioned farts. I figure she was joking, but ya never know. She would be neither the first nor the last person to have that fetish or any other fetish. The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices by Brenda Love (how appropriate) describes fetishes you may not have even heard of. I forget how Arsenio inserted that subject into the conversation. That was years ago, and I have a hard enough time remembering last night. Speaking of Brooke Shields I once interned with a girl who resembled a Latina Brooke Shields. She was a Trinity University (the "Ivy League School of The South") student with a coy, upper-crust persona and some weird word choices. Speaking of a past boyfriend she said, "I kicked the bucket with him," meaning they broke up. Some years later I saw her and her groom in the wedding pages. In the accompanying article they described their getting married as getting "Froot Looped." I imagine some fellas will get "Froot Looped" while seeing that picture of Brooke Shields.
