"The era (abounded) with millionaires who kept their sweethearts in love nests that dotted Manhattan all the way from Murray Hill to Riverside Drive," Anita Loos reminded her readers, and in her opinion Peggy ranked as the most shameless of such kept women.

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."
