THE MISTRESSES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS ; DEAREST MADAME by IRMA HUNT

THE MISTRESSES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS ;  DEAREST MADAM by IRMA HUNT

from July 25 2009

DEAREST MADAME by Irma Hunt is an old book published in 1978. And though we find defining who is or isn't a mistress or mantress difficult, since all adulterers are not mistresses and not all mistresses are adulterers (and legal marriage isn't the only way to be married), here is the list as presented by Irma Hunt...

Sally Cary Fairfax - George Washington
Sally Hemmings - Thomas Jefferson  (This one is controversial via other sources)
Maria Halpin - Grover Cleveland
Carrie Phillips - Warren G. Harding
Lucy Mercer - Franklin Roosevelt
Kay Summersby - Dwight Eisenhower
Judith Campbell - John F. Kennedy  (In my opinion Campbell was not a mistress.)

I was horrified to read how badly Maria Halpin and Carrie Phillips were treated. Of all of these Lucy Mercer comes closest to being an actual mistress by my way of thinking. Sally Hemmings - Thomas Jefferson could not legally marry her. Kay Summersby had her own job with the army first and had an affair with the married Dwight while his personal driver and assistant but he made no promises to her so I think of it as a wartime romance, and Judith Campbell may have been a party girl who got around, but besides having sex with J.F.K. it doesn't sound like he supported her financially. Only Lucy Mercer sounds to have had an actual long term LOVE AFFAIR with the unhappily but loyally married Roosevelt...

Cette lettre à chaînes a été commencée par une femme qui veut réutiliser son mari. Elle peut fonctionner pour un femme aussi facilement qu'un homme. Mais d'abord vous devez être mariés…
It costs nothing - unless you have to pay for the Greyhound TM bus ticket or the TWA TM airfare ...

Il ne coûte rien - à moins que vous devez payer le billet d'autobus du TM de lévier ou les tarifs aériens de TWA TM…

Just make a list of five our your married friends who want to recycle their husbands... Then bundle up your husband and give him his walking papers and a suitcase you have personally packed for him... Send him to the woman on the top of your list. Then add your name to the bottom of the list and send a copy to five women.

Faire juste à une liste de cinq nos vos amis mariés qui veulent réutiliser leurs maris… Empaqueter alors vers le haut votre mari et lui donner ses papiers de marche et une valise que vous avez personnellement emballée pour lui… L'envoyer à la femme sur le dessus de votre liste. Alors ajouter votre nom au fond de la liste et envoyer une copie à cinq femmes.
WHEN YOUR NAME COMES TO THE TOP OF THE LIST, YOU WILL RECEIVE 17,000 HUSBANDS!

QUAND VOTRE NOM VIENT JUSQU'AU DESSUS DE LA LISTE, VOUS RECEVREZ 17.000 MARIS !

SEX WITH KINGS by ELEANOR HERMAN : MISTRESS MANIFESTO BOOK REVIEW and MORE!

SEX WITH KINGS by ELEANOR HERMAN : MISTRESS MANIFESTO BOOK REVIEW from May 4, 2009

SEX WITH KINGS is just fascinating. It's academic research without the off putting scholarly tone, and here is a book based on historical fact and documentation, that tells us what life was for the historical Mistress, the Kings, Queens, and Husbands (Many royal mistresses were married, and all spouses were in the know...) It was in some places an official sanctioned form of adultery. In France, the royal mistress till about the 19th century, was an official court position.

THIS IS INFORMATIVE READING for all of you interested in this subject because you are, have been, or are considering becoming a Mistress!
