So, I am researching prostitution during the early Renaissance....

[GreenEyedGirl]

Yup, you read that right, prostitution and courtesans in the 1500's, the begining of the Renaissance. And of course I am playing hookey here, because, well, the subject matter distracted me to this board for some unknown reason!
This is all for a theatre project, and it is fascinating!
For example, common prostitutes were noted as such because their elbows were revealed. Elbows! Apparently Renaissance men got off on a well turned elbow.
And courtesans were used as assasins at times because they had the closest contact with the intended victim. Guess the CIA and the former KGB were not pioneers in that venue.

But the elbows, I can not get over that. They had short, gauzy sleeves and then they wore cuffs at their wrists, as if their sleeves were simply invisible.

So what do you all think about elbows? Is this a niche fetish or what?

 

[heterotic]

Mmm... Elbows, oh yeah! Nothing like a shapely elbow for spank material.
And those ankles, they really get me off too.

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Elbows and ankles, hmmm? Something about boney proturbances I guess!

*chuckles* Hi Greeneyes! How're you this lovely mornin?

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

*chuckles* Hi Greeneyes! How're you this lovely mornin?

I am lovely this lovely morning! Thanks for asking. I am doing my best to stare out my window at the beautiful weather as I avoid my research.
Just don't tell my director that. Of course, I don't know if he subscribes here..... shit! I could be royally fucked. Ah well, it's spring, I'm reading about prostitution, and my Canadian friend, I do not care!

Je suis tres bien, merci beaucoup! E tu?

Aside from being single? Pretty good!

Made plans with a friend for next weekend, just cuddling and snuggling, ect.........

Spent two and a half hours talking to her on the phone last night......

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Nathon,

Being single isn't so bad, I've sort of embraced it as an artform actually.
And what are your thoughts on elbows anyways?

How do you say elbow in french? For my research you understand

Elbows are VERY Sexy.....forget the french name, sorry.

And, well....I might not be single too long, looks like.

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Yea you! Just read you ego boost thread. Those are never pretty confessions to hear.
But good for you, bring her to one of those windmills and use your amazing powers of romance, and the rest is....
l'amour!

Yeah.......*chuckles* I think I'm gonna fall head over heels in love with her...........*sighs* and, of course, she lives halfway across the country.

 

[sigh]

beginning about this time of year through september or early october, my elbows are almost always exposed

now i know why men follow me around all summer! (and i thought it was the short skirts)

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Sigh:

See! And men are always saying that they are a "breast" man or a "leg" man or an "ass" man.

But it's the elbows!


And Nathon - half way across the country, hmm? Well, frequent flier programs my friend! They are a life saver.

Yuppers!
Ah, if only I wasn't afraid of flying....well, mostly just during takeoffs.

*chuckles*

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Flying isn't so bad, I actually like it. And for the one who has your heart, I'm sure you'll find a way to make it there!

Looks like we have admirably hijacked my own thread!
Sometimes I am too Sagitarian for my own good!

Ah, a little chaos is good every once in a second.

Romance........l'amour...but when does it change from a pure hormonal imbalance, to something deeper?

*lol* The hormonal imbalance will always be there I am afraid my friend. But the deep comes at it's own time. Sometimes seven days is long enough, sometimes seven years, and unfortunately it can be never. But, the path is worth it, so see where it leads.

Of course......*chuckles*

But, the end result being worth the journey? Undoubtably......

*happy, just because*

You're in the wrong place...

The threads don't go back that far...

Re: You're in the wrong place...

*lmao*

You'd be surprised what I have found here!

 

[SINthysist]

I think some of the people may be that old however...

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Well, personal interviews are the best form of research, you know, get the "I was there when" angle.

 

[SINthysist]

Quite. I would suggest some names, but the geezers get all riled when they see fingers pointed thier way.

especially when we type in small case...
