I meant this as a movie thread, but belles lettres and high culture also follow the theme. It's an historical theme. This morning I am thinking of Verdi's La Traviata, in which the courtesan Violetta makes mush out of a couple of her lovers. That opera is based on the 1852 novel La Dame aux Camelias, by Alexander Dumas, fils. "La Dame" is Marguerite Gautier, a "demi-mondaine," that is, a courtesan. Dumas fils was the bastard son of Dumas, pere, by one of his courtesans.

Ahhh. Mes "demi-mondaines." I luv you all! Make mush out of me. Again. And again. And again.
