OMG I can't believe you posted this! She was my idol when I was like 14 and I had the biggest crush on her. When I was maybe 12 I had a teacher that looked like her. I didn't understand why i always wanted to be near her but I craved that woman and her smell. Then one day I see a Bobbie on TV and had to go out and get her 45's and posters, anything with Bobbie Gentry. I was obsessed.
