A courtesan. I am studying the life of a courtesan.
Today, such a woman would create more than this mere blog. She is our Kardashian, Lohan, Hilton and Real Life Housewife. She is revered for having a shocking and disapproving lifestyle that we watch in obsession behind closed doors, yet, if we were ever to meet her we would be embarrassed by her very existence. What is it about scandalous women? The scruples of the 1850s is no match for our modern day, but there is something about "bad behavior" that at one moment shocks us and another excites us into buying their perfume...or singing an opera.
Opera is not for the hoity-toity. It's E news from 1850s with a better sound-track.
