THE GUINNESS FAMILY SURNAME IS SUGGESTIVE OF MISTRESSES

Always on the search for more mistresses to feature on this blog, MISTRESS MANIFESTO BLOGSPOT, it seems the Guinness family surname is associated with Mistresses.

For instance, someday I may feature Gloria Guinness who is said to have been the mistress of a man named Duff Cooper - though he is said to have had more than one mistress through the years.

While Shoe Taylor was Jonathan Guinness's Mistress, he stayed married to his wife, with whom he had three children.  One of those children is a woman famous for eccentricity and unusual and amazing fashion, Daphne Guinness.
Daphne is rumored to have a special relationship with a man named Starvos Niarchos - one of those Greek shipping heirs.  Though she spends a fortune of her own money on clothes, there is always more money. He is rumored to have had Princess Firyal of Jordon as a mistress after her divorce, having gifted her with houses in London and Paris and other things that racked up expenditures in the tens of millions of dollars.

High society is just so intertwined and well, I just don't think they have the same expectations in relationships than us commoners.

MISTRESS DAISY FELLOWES - DUFF COOPER

Daisy Fellowes, was a Princess, as widow of Prince de Broglie, and an heiress to the singer sewing machine fortune.  (See my posts on dancer Isadora Duncan who was the Mistress of Paris Singer, another heir!) She was rich herself. It's said she had lovers in the hundreds.  Was she "a nympho"  (It's been a long time since I heard that term applied to anyone!)  What else about Daisy?  She was stick thin and had a nose job.  She liked vodka, cocaine, and opium.  And if you read the book "20th Century Jewelry, the Icons of Style, that I reviewed 5/26/18, you'll see pictures of Daisy and her jewelry.

As a Mistress, she is known to have been kept by Duff Cooper.
