Watch Your Ass, Melissa Berkelhammer
Another week, another Observer debutard. Today George Gurley introduces us to Charlotte Bocly, a nineteen-year-old resident of Park Avenue and Bridgehampton. Charlotte's a woman whose knowledge belies her tender years. Join us after the jump and spend a little time with a girl who just might be Brigitte Bardot's granddaughter.

I've come to love it because I can go there, have fun with people I think are ridiculous, just enjoy their company."
