Lucy just alerted me to a great article about the carnal side of Georgian England. She obviously knows what I enjoy reading about. Tony Perrottet writes about the lusty times we all adore, which covers such nasty bits like lovers' hair keepsakes; and I'm not referring to that which is on your head. Oh my!

ReplyDelete[is it possible to insert sound here?]
Have I scandalized your sensibilities, Emmeline?
ReplyDeleteOr I could just not be making sense due to lack of sleep too... :/
"Oh my!" **blushes and covers mouth with fan**
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Naughty, naughty.
ReplyDeleteHehehe - the second part is even better ... I especially love the women showing up with masks on so they can check whether their husbands are there before they reveal their identities - I can imagine a woman leaving and the men all wondering if it's their wife ... Tee-hee!
ReplyDeleteScandalous for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe part about having the keepsake fashioned into a decorative adornment and wearing it on hats in public blew my mind...
ReplyDeleteMe too; the visual I had was like something out of Pink Flamingos
ReplyDeleteLets hope the English people forget the Victorian episode and get back to their real nature!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the article.
My goodness! Finding that would be quite a surprise. (Giggling like schoolgirl.)
ReplyDeletePink Flamingos, lol!
I think the English forgot Victorian times once Edward reigned.
