FRANKIE VALLI and THE FOUR SEASONS : CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU

MICHELLE TRIOLA MARVIN - MARVIN MITCHELSON

"At first she accepted payments from him of $833 a month to support her while she tried to resume her singing and acting career. But after support checks stopped she filed suit for half of everything Marvin had earned during their years together. Her share would have been $1.8 million. Her cause was taken up by one of Hollywood's most colorful divorce lawyers, Marvin Mitchelson, who launched what was a campaign to change the law.

"The judge rejected Marvin's community property request but granted her $104,000 for "rehabilitation." The award was later overturned on appeal.

Afterward, she went to work as an agent's secretary at the William Morris talent agency, Palmer said."

DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES - Perfect Gifts

"My gifts may not be expensive, but they are just the thing, and beautifully presented."

Mistresses, especially those of you who are gifted generously and living the life of a millionairess because of your man and learning all about the good things in life, this may be difficult. You see so many beautiful things when you shop and travel and you want to give him a memento.

Still, if you are not equals economically, it is more important that you save your money than buy him expensive gifts that you cannot afford. BESIDES IF YOU HAVE NO INCOME OF YOUR OWN he sees that you are using the money he gave you to spend on him - as if you don't need it when you do.

For those of you who are working and have your own income, that does not equal what he earns, also be aware that something small and special, just right for him, even if it is not expensive, is what to do.

BEE GEES : HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE

MARVIN versus MARVIN LEGAL BRIEF

Link here to the LEGAL brief on the PALIMONY law suit that Michelle Triola brough against actor Lee Marvin, after being his mistress for some years.

Like many women in her lifestyle, she left her career behind because she wanted to be with her man as much as possible, but this did not work out for her. She had self supported as a singer prior to Lee but she had not achieved great fame or wealth as a result.

So many women, not just mistresses, neglect or fail to develop self supporting career because they want to be available to men: this is not just an issue for mistresses. But because mistresses sometimes travel with the men who keep them, they have a difficult time being involved in a full time occupation.

DEFINING MISTRESS - HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MARRIED

By my way of thinking the term Mistress isn't appropriate for every woman who has an affair with a married man.

(And please remember that I am well aware that this type of relationship can happen in homosexual, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and other relationships!)

A woman can be a Mistress to a man who is not married to anyone, or a man who is living with someone, or remain his Mistress even though he goes through a series of girlfriends or marriages...

A Mistress is sometimes the consistency in his life.

MISTRESS OF THE MONTH : MICHELLE TRIOLA "MARVIN"

Nightclub singer MICHELLE TRIOLA'S "palimony" case against macho actor Lee Marvin, who remained married to his wife Pamela through the years that Michelle and he also lived together, is our Mistress of the Monthly for December 2010.

Her 1977 Palimony case was a legal precedent in the still rarely publicly explored issues of what happens to the money when a person is in fact married to more than one other person at a time... In fact the word "Palimony" was made up in the press because of her case.

Michelle was brave to take the man she loved for so long to court knowing this could ruin her.

Michelle died at 75 years old, a little more than a year ago, October 2009. She did not go without love and companionship or die alone due to the spectacle that her suit caused. She was with actor Dick Van Dyke for 30 years after Lee Marvin.

We acknowledge that Michelle was a lover not a fighter and that loyalty meant more than anything to her. With respect, we honor her as Mistress of the Month.

KIM JOHNSON GROSS can ADVISE YOU ON DRESSING STYLISHLY AS YOU AGE

Missy here: I'm linking to the web site of KIM JOHNSTON GROSS, whose book "What To Wear For The Rest of Your Life" (Ageless Secrets of Style) is my personal recommendation for you mistresses who need to learn to AGE GRACEFULLY.

"As our bodies and lives transition, many of us lack the style-confidence or know-how to rethink, redefine and re-imagine our self-image. Even as a style expert, I know how easy it is to get stuck in old style notions that no longer work as well as they once did."

We've been reading Leslie's story about becoming first one of the worlds most beautiful women and beauty pageant winners to an abused mistress. We're thinking about aging and competition here (though some mistresses never face that problem because they move on into marriage or another loving relationship or are treated well and have a life-long romance with a man they share with his wife or another woman.)

AGING GRACEFULLY by self acknowledging your body changes is what KIM JOHNSON GROSS' book is all about.

I HAVE ANOTHER REASON I WANT TO RECOMMEND HER ADVISE TO YOU. You see, your years as a mistress and buying clothing that you might not be able to afford on your own salary may be limited, but that doesn't mean you can't be financially sound through INVESTMENT. And investing in yourself - getting your teeth straightened, having a beautiful wardrobe that will last past those years is a really good idea!

So take a look at this site and KIM's book!

CAROLE KING : WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW

ALONE FOR THANKSGIVING? DON'T YOU BE! (UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE!)

Are you by any chance ALONE for Thanksgiving? This is the All-American family holiday in the United States, celebrated by people of all religions, and so it's one of the most likely times a mistress will find herself alone, or at least without a visit from her man.

And your friends? Is it that NO ONE has invited you to their table?

How could this happen?

Easily enough!

It's happened to me! Some people just never think of their single friends when it comes to family holidays.

So we are going to make the BEST OF IT!
Put on some music - good music - and make yourself an elegant meal. It does not have to be a WHOLE TURKEY, OK? TURKEY BURRITOS will do! And wine? A glass - not the whole bottle.

OR BETTER YET, get yourself involved now in charitable work, perhaps serving food to the HOMELESS at your local shelter. This will help you keep your perspective!
Yours,

Missy

DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES - Aging Gracefully

"I will dress and make-up in an age-appropriate way."  

Missy here! This is a hard one for many women, because there is so much emphasis on youth in our culture. It's not easy for all of us to understand our looks, or be able to count on an outside opinion; certainly not all those salesclerks in stores tell us the truth; they too often just want their commissions.

Never the less, a woman who is trying too hard to look younger than she is, simply looks ridiculous and is fooling no-one. Age gracefully!

ALANIS MORISSETTE : YOU OUGHTA KNOW

COSTUME BALL

Mistresses don't always sit at home while their man takes his wife to the dance.

MISSY ASKS YOU : ARE YOU PLAYING WITH AN ALTER-EGO ?

Masked Balls were a favorite form of aristocratic entertainment in European countries, and wanton abandonment was sometimes the name of the game. Wearing a mask and being or feeling yourself to be unknown is sometimes just what a person needs to live as their alter-ego for a few hours. Appearing in costume is also part of the fun at Halloween. And this year Missy is indulging in a little fantasy vampirism which is all the rage.

Are you playing with your alter-ego?

This sheet music cover presents an image of the Great Ziegfeld, entertainment pioneer and presenter of the dance review.

He personally selected each of his dancers and the competition was fierce...

Many of these dancers had "Back Stage Johnnys." These were men who wore their heart on their sleeves and weren't afraid to pull out their wallets and make life easier for their beloved. Some of these dancers became mistresses. Some married.

DON'T BE TACKY TACKY TACKY ! :OPINION BY MISSY

Dear Left Hand Queens!

Tiger Woods may have been caught on the public stage as a cheater. But if you are involved with someone who is married to someone else - still - and you love this person and you want to keep them in your life, then DON'T GO PUBLIC!

TRULY, your relationship is a private matter!

It always was and it always should be. First of all, jealous women don't make good mistresses and only a jealous woman would use a spectacle to hurt a man's wife (and children) publicly. There is nothing to gain and usually much to loose by being mean. Your man may be torn as is, or he may know in his heart that he will never marry you or divorce her but he is probably not prepared for a scene, be that in front of television news cameras or at the masked ball.

It's a small world, and there is simply no grace in being showy to start a battle with his wife (who you think of as his Other Woman) or prove you have won!

DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES - Healthy Weight

"I will keep my weight in a healthy zone."  

Missy here: What does it mean to be in the healthy zone? Well, I just got done reading model CRYSTAL RENN's book called HUNGRY about her terrible struggles to get to and remain in underweight. I can tell you she looks so very much better as a size 12!

Think about this: Marilyn Monroe was never skinny!

Usually 20 pounds in either direction from the average weight for your height is too little or too much weight. Extreme diets mess with your complexion, your hair and nails, and your hormones! You really are sexier when you have something to hold onto!

********************************************************

ANGELYNE ,
the sometime actress, singer, and "BILLBOARD QUEEN" is our RUMORED MISTRESS OF THE MONTH. Rumor also has it that she came into Los Angeles with the name Renee Strauss. ***

In my lifetime I've crossed paths with the famous-for-her-billboards BLONDE BOMBSHELL ANGELYNE several times. She's a tiny woman who appears BIGGER THAN LIFE on those billboards. About two months ago I saw her in a grocery store, where she asked me if I knew where the ladies' room was - sweetly. The time before that she was outside a vintage store near her pink car and signing autographs - sweetly. I've seen her in post office lines. I've passed her on the road driving - at the speed limit.

I've seen her in various stages of aging and youthful renewal. And my guess is that she's at least 65 years old.  There's a lot of secrecy about ANGELYNE.

Like a lot of people, I've heard many rumors about how she could afford ALL THOSE BILLBOARDS and ALL THAT COSMETIC SURGERY. Let's face it; breast implants and face lifts don't correct your posture. She's standing straight up and in great physical shape - great posture and bearing, not at all hunched over.  Her voice sounds girlish... I

t seems no one can imagine that ANGELYNE might have inherited wealth herself or be a good businesswoman who knows how to self promote.

Does she play a CHARACTER CALLED ANGELYNE?
Just like Marilyn Monroe played a character called Marilyn Monroe?

The billboard pictures of her I've seen are definitely airbrushed or enhanced to appear almost cartoonish.

I think she has a sense of humor about herself.  (She says she has found her niche!)

PRIVACY? For someone who is famous she also does a fantastic job of keeping her privacy!

It would seem that the movie and modeling work she has done over the years is not enough to afford the billboards, the pink car, an office in Hollywood she kept for 20 years.  Privacy is difficult to keep in Hollywood; ever hear of anyone following the pink car and her home? Let's say that to keep that privacy YOU HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO MONEY, a good attorney. You own things in another name.

YES, I have "heard" who her rich patron was... or at least one of them... most likely the one who kept her for the majority of her adult life... This man was married for very many years and still was alive and married as of a couple years ago.  And if it's true that it's HIM, then this man is in his 80's - near 90 now...  And he is one of those men who FEW PEOPLE IN THE MAINSTREAM WOULD EVER SUSPECT. ****

Remember though that this is the town that gave the rumor about Richard Gere and the Gerbils it's URBAN MYTH status.

Whatever the case, however different she may be from me or you, ANGELYNE has made her life - with intent.

****UPDATE March 2016... Just want to mention that the name of the man or men who financed her Billboards, possibly for a share in profits, is NOT the name of the man that I "heard" was her rich patron.  Just want to clarify that!

XSCAPE :YOU'RE MY LITTLE SECRET

BOOK REVIEW and OPINION BY MISSY : "MARRY HIM" BY LORI GOTTLIEB

LORI GOTTLIEB never thought about the MISTRESS ALTERNATIVE when she wrote "MARRY HIM."

This is one of those books about how to get married that tells women that the reason they have not gotten married is that they are not realistic about men and marriage; they have given into feminism, or are too idealistic about who they can attract, they let good ones with minor flaws get away, or they suffer from too high self esteem. Shiiiiit! Once again we women are to blame when things don't go right in a relationship. Once again we are the ones who need to change to suit someone else's sensibility - not the men.

"Marry Him," is hilarious in parts and easily to relate to, and yet, I think single-mother-on-purpose Lori needs to consider becoming a mistress. She has made it this far without a husband, has had a child via a sperm bank (very liberated!) so why does she need a husband now? (She can easily borrow someone else's husband and have him part of the time, which is all the time she has to spare!)

Giving up perfectly good men in the hopes of doing better, the author and many of the women who spoke to her, found themselves in their early 40's and not desirable on the marriage market as their easy fertility time passed.

Apparently, 40-something men who want their own genes propagated want much younger women. (But 40-something women are very much desired by older men, many who have had families and have had careers and have the energy for another relationship!)

Apparently, Lori and friends may have deluded themselves at some point that they were OK without (rather traditional) men and marriage so they just said no when they had a chance at marriage. Or did they really ever have a chance to marry? I read about these "too picky" women who regretted letting someone they lived with or were involved with years ago "get away," but can't recall even one of them saying, "we were engaged to be married," or "he asked me to marry him." In other words they were unrealistic that they were in marriage bound relationships in the first place. The men who got away married someone else. Surprise!

MISTRESSES are excellent at coming to terms with the imperfection of men and relationships. We stay with who and what we have and give up what feels like the never ending search for a husband as well. We are practiced at love as a result.

If coming to terms with what your declining value in the marriage market was all it took to be married, many of us would be married, if not to the man who we love now, to someone else. Instead this ability to come to terms with what we have as mistresses helps us stay in the relationship we are in, because we suspect or know that WE PROBABLY CANNOT DO BETTER. (And sometimes a mistress does marry when she can do better!) We are not suffering from the low self esteem always suspected of us but neither are we suffering from "too high" self esteem that keeps some women yelling "NEXT!" as they wave on these perfectly good men !

When it comes to being in a LONG TERM COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP, there are men who are very particular about what woman they marry and propagate their genes with. Realistically, many wealthy men will only marry women who also come from wealth. A mistress who starts out as a nobody with nothing can become a somebody with something and it often takes a lot of self discipline to do so! Still, she may never be totally accepted in a wealthy man's social sphere because she was not born into it. Face it! Even outstanding beauty cannot make up for being born poor in some social spheres.

One of the ways of being realistic is to face ourselves, to come to terms with our looks, our bodies, our intelligence, talents, skills, but also our background and opportunities. Many of us are able to have a better man in our lives by being a mistress than if we marry. Many of us have outgrown the men who we were perhaps destined to marry; our neighborhood boys!

It is too easy to imagine that we can really go back there - into a box - when we have been thinking outside it. It is too easy to imagine (because we do not know that letting someone who was not for us in their time has resulted in our singleness or our mistresshood) that our life would be so much better if we had been willing to marry the boy next door who was perhaps our destiny, if we had not educated ourselves or sought careers, if we had not left home or had not moved hundreds of miles away independently. If if if...

Many mistresses don't just imagine it, they know that they are better off as mistresses than as wives, or that the opportunities this life style presents them are far greater than the life they would have had if they "settled." This is our compromise. Mistresses are also successful because they know that they must endeavor to have a life of their own, not totally dependent on a man. We cannot get lazy the way some wives get.

Personally, I think it is better to be devoted to one good man (does hearing that a man can keep a mistress and still be a good man startle you?) for years than it is to have platonic "fuck buddies," or endure several relationships that never even became mutually supportive!

Women who have married busy executives and entrepreneurs, who found themselves alone a lot, might be able to relate; It is never fun to wait around hoping for phone calls, visits, invitations, married or not, and I believe because mistresses are more realistic, they are those who do not wait, but get busy!

From SEPTEMBER 2010 BAZAAR MAGAZINE : ARTICLE ON DAISY FELLOWES

Just browsing through SEPTEMBER 2010 fashion in Bazaar Magazine, reading an article by David Vincent about THE MOST STYLISH AND WICKED WOMAN IN FASHION, DAISY FELLOWES.
She was the Harper's Bazaar Paris editor in the 1930's.

page 415

"When Fellowes hosted dinner parties, she'd invite people who hated one another and watch the carnage. Wives and mistresses were seated next to each other. Still, no one would think of refusing to attend....

"On the birthday of Princess Aspasia of Greece... Fellowes had one of her daughters deliver a stuffed monkey as a gift. The princess's husband had been killed by a monkey bite. "It was very Versailles, Louis XIV's mistresses all vying for power and instigating coups against each other, says Pamela Golbin, curator in chief of the Musee de la Mode et due Textile in Paris....

"Unsurprisingly, Fellowes' love life was just as complicated. At 20, she married Prince Jean de Broglie. "The prince started up with the chauffeur as soon as he got married, " says (Karl)Lagerfeld. "They all do that." Somehow the couple managed to have three daughters. The price died during World War I.... Seventeen months later, she married the Honorable Reginald Fellowes, grandson of the the 7the Duke of Marlborough, son of Lady Rosamond Spencer-Churchill, and cousin of Winston. With him, she had a fourth daughter. She remained devoted but not faithful. Her hobby was married men..."

SUSIE and JANE and JERRY (from JERRY WIENTRAUB's WHEN I STOP TALKING YOU'LL KNOW I'M DEAD

Reading Concert Promoter - Movie Producer JERRY WEINTRAUB'S memoir and towards the back of the book he tells about his wife Jane (Morgan) the singer, his mistress (our word not his) Susie, and him... an open relationship... one in which their friends and family have been notified to accept it... Here is what Jerry himself has to say in the chapter called A RIDE IN THE HILLS...

"The simple fact is, Jane no longer wanted my life. She didn't want to go to parties, didn't want to have sex with me. Not interested. Good. She needs what she needs and I need what I need, which is to be with somebody who wants to be involved in every part of my life: Mentally, emotionally, sexually. Warren Beatty, lothario of lotharios, once asked me the secret. "How did you make it work, Jerry? How do you pull it off?"

"Well the answer is, I didn't. Jane and Susie did. I have a life with Susie and I love Susie, but I'm still with Jane, too. I see her all the time, and we're on the phone constantly. I will be there whenever she needs me. Otherwise, I am off, in my own life. I think this works only because Jane had such a successful career...I have been with Jane for forty-eight years. I'm one of the ancients now. But I am still here, which means I am still living, still changing."

Jerry Weintraub's memoir is called IF I STOP TALKING YOU'LL KNOW I'M DEAD.

MISSY ASKS YOU: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE CLASS?

What does it mean to have class ?

Obviously you don't have to be born into it - though family reputation helps.

You can learn quite a bit without having had a parent raise you to fit into the upper class.

To me it's not just about keeping yourself well groomed and in clothing and shoes that fit, or being stylish (if not fashionable) in clothing. It's about having the grace to know when to leave a room or a relationship.

The king, who renounced his claim to the British throne in 1936 to marry the divorcee, showered her with gifts of jewelry throughout their courtship and marriage. Many of the "magical jewels" honor events in the couple's lives and are of great importance as both works of art and historical artifacts, said Sotheby's jewelry expert David Bennett."

A note - June 12 2024

All these years later, the marriage of William and Kate seems quite successful with only one possible accusation that he might be too close to a certain other woman.

WE KNOW THAT SOMETIMES TABLOIDS MAKE UP STORIES... and we know there is so much speculation about PRINCE WILLIAM and KATE MIDDLETON, who, let's face it, have been dating/living together for years without CIVIL or RELIGIOUS MARRIAGE...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE KATE? We suppose she is in love with him... and he her, and also that it's about time for them to marry and have their own heir and a spare... KATE IS GETTING TO THAT AGE WHERE HER FERTILITY is on the decline... Yes there is time left for her to have a child. But the throne may just go from Queen Elizabeth to William and then?

Link now to an article in SHOWBIZ SPY... it says Kate has been told he will have mistresses and she will have to put up with them so she delayed the wedding.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS : PASSIONATE KISSES

"THERE IS NO WIFE IN THIS SITUATION BUT THE GHOST OF HIS EX!" : OPINION BY MISSY

Dear Missy,

I'm a Filipino woman who has been in the United States since she was a teenager. When I was in my late teens I was discovered by a film director in Hollywood. Although I worked on a production with him, he retired me and kept me for a few years. Then after we ended our relationship, I met a man who owns a factory in Ventura County. I gave up any career in Hollywood and moved in with him. I love him and I live my whole life around him.

He said that he was interest in marrying me but had a bad divorce 20 years before. He has a daughter from that marriage. He said he didn't want to marry until his daughter came of age. Well, she did. He hasn't married me. I travel to Vegas with him frequently. I want for nothing, including good jewelry. Our home in Ventura is modest. No one suspects how rich he really is. THERE IS NO WIFE IN THIS SITUATION EXCEPT THE GHOST OF THE EX!

Recently I met a male friend of his who told me that I am his fifth mistress. Once a mistress presses for marriage, he breaks with her and finds another one. I'm in my late 30's. I really want a child. Should I accept the situation or press for marriage and take my chances? He is 65 and shows no signs of retiring.

Champagne Tastes, Ventura County, California ----

Dear Champagne Tastes,

I'd really like to put this one out there for opinions.

My guess is that a man who is 65 and has had several mistresses since his bad marriage broke up long ago is not someone who wants to get married - ever. He's probably thinking of his daughter and her inheritance of his estate. However, it is not fair for you to be kept out of having a career to live around him if he is not going to provide for you in case of a "divorce" or when you are old and alone, without children or any other man to take care of you. It is time to tell this man that he must provide for you because of the circumstances of your life and if he will do this, you will never press for marriage.

You should also be clear that you want a child. Whatever he does, your lawyer (not his) should create a contract that will stand up in court.Your man is aging and should be able to try on what it means to be alone in life.

MAYBE WE WILL ALWAYS WONDER HOW MUCH EVA BRAUN KNEW

Most of us today loath Hitler and Nazism, but there are still people alive today who were in concentration camps, who lost their families, who were victimized by the Holocaust and they can tell you that there was a time when plenty of people hated Jews enough to allow a mass extermination of them.

Hitler could not do what he did with lots and lots of cooperation.

Today there are those who deny that any of it happened, or who say that it was all greatly exaggerated. And there are those who say that EVA BRAUN was loved by Hitler because she was naive, a country girl at heart, innocent in her way.

Is it true?

Did she have any power in her relationship with Hitler?

IS SHE THE WOMAN WHO COULD HAVE STOPPED THE HORROR by whispering in her man's ear, "Baby, please no."

How many mistresses have power in their relationships?

"Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams."

- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (German physics professor and scientist 1742 - 1799)


Missy here: I never know when I read quotes from this era if the word Mistress is being used to mean a Mistress as in a kept woman or courtesan, or simply a man's wife!

JUNE 15 -19th 2010 is ROYAL ASCOT!

ROYAL ASCOT? We know the royals attend - and you can link to it by clicking on the title above.

ROYAL ASCOT may be one of the world's most exclusive events. And sometimes a mistress or two attends as well. Of course everyone must follow the protocol, be aware of the etiquette of the situation and get along right? This isn't like seeing the other woman (in our case that's the WIFE) on the ski slopes in Colorado.

MISTRESS OF THE MONTH : EVA BRAUN MISTRESS OF ADOLF HITLER - MASTERMIND OF THE HOLOCAUST

***********

"The historian takes the character at the center of her book seriously, and in the material she has analyzed, there is credible evidence that Braun was more to Hitler than an "attractive young thing" in whom the dictator "found, despite or perhaps because of her unassuming and insipid appearance, the sort of relaxation and calm he was seeking," as Hitler's personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann later claimed.

"In his will, which Hitler drew up in 1938, Braun's name appeared immediately after that of the Nazi Party. Under the provisions of the will, the party was to pay her a substantial, lifelong pension, to be drawn from his assets..."

CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES : MISTRESS THEN WIFE OF PRINCE CHARLES : MISTRESS OF THE MONTH

This month we celebrate CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES WINDSOR... Mistress and then wife of Prince Charles of England - and all those other titles.

I was going to wait but the NEWS that Princess Diana's son William may announce his engagement this month to his long time (9 years?) love and well, that Queen Elizabeth, now 83 years old, may start handing over some of her duties to him while keeping her post as Queen, which brings up all the controversies of whether or not she will ever let Prince Charles become King.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO MISTRESS MANIFESTO BLOG

Happy birthday to me! I mean my blog, MISTRESS MANIFESTO!

This past year I have learned so much more about mistressing!

I'm learning that mistresses are sometimes much more conservative than those women who have been sleeping around and have no heart at all!

I'm learning that having a mistress is a more civilized option for many successful men!

GOLD DIGGER : PEGGY HOPKINS JOYCE : BOOK EXCERPT

About Peggy Hopkins Joyce

EXCERPT: 

"Unlike a wisecracking Mae West, whose sexuality was so exaggerated she became a caricature of herself, or Marion Davies, who insisted to the very end that she and William Randolph Hearst were simply good friends, there was nothing coy or ironic about her persona. Others may have called her a tramp and regarded her as a high-priced call girl, but Peggy fit more easily into another mold, that of a full-blown courtesan whose approach to the opposite sex was frankly strategic. The critic George Jean Nathan, who had discerned "a touch of the French eighteenth century about her," was right: had she lived in another time, in another land, she might have taken her place in a long and distinguished line of women for whom being a courtesan represented an honorable and prestigious way of life..."

"As author Cornelia Otis Skinner noted respectfully of the legendary courtesans not of the eighteenth century but of Belle Epoque France, those visions of loveliness wreathed in clouds of ylang-ylang who drifted from the races and the Polo matches to the Opera and Comdie Francaise and onward to late suppers at Maxim's : "The leading coquettes were in an upper echelon not to be spoken of in the same breath as the status of ordinary prostitute. They were celebrities as filmy established as the top starts of theatre. They were the talk of the smart set. Boulevardiers quoted their bon mots... Even the press rated them as important news."
