| Cortigiana Onesta |
| In Italy, known as honest courtesans, the cortigiana onesta were usually well-educated and worldly (sometimes even more so than the average upper-class woman), and often held simultaneous careers as performers or artists. They were typically chosen on the basis of their "breeding"--social and conversational skills, intelligence, common sense, and companionship--as well as their physical attributes. It was usually their wit and personality that set them apart from regular women. They were prostitutes in the sense that sex was one of their obligations, but unlike the average prostitute, sex constituted only a facet of the courtesan's array of services. For example, they were expected to be well-dressed and ready to engage in a variety of topics ranging from art to music to politics. |

So I seem to be falling behind in my links. I have so many that they're starting to grow old and smelly before I have a chance to scatter them through the daily posts. In response to this liquification of URLs, I am starting a campaign to post as many as possible until my list shrinks to a more managable size. I apologize to those who don't give a squat about the links and are here solely for the pictures. |

| About Me |
|
Name: Coddswaddle
High Priestess of the Dark Lord Internet
About Me: I was hatched long ago by a slightly neurotic squirrel. It was from that rodent that I cultivated an interest in shiny objects and innovative design. Marketing is a trial for me as I navigate the aisles of plastic-wrapped promotional products. At home I like to shoot aliens while smack-talking, cuddling my cats, and causing my fiancée grief.
