I'm guessing the OP has tried to hook up inworld and failed miserably.
My spidey sense tingles with strange visuals: Whenever she's not attempting to age play, she is about 8 foot tall, sliders for butt and bewb maximizes, bee waist. Cheap bling shoes, of course and really big hair, possibly with some bizarre pigtails sticking out every which way. Her AO will have her twist into bizarre poses whenever she stops walking. Her favourite club dances are those that have her on the floor with her legs splayed most of the time and she says LOL after very second sentence. Or LOLOL, because guys find that hawt. She'll have a male typist.

Dear Lord. So... do you believe in polygamy? For even a portion of what is displayed, might I bid for your hand?

/me smiles and sweeps into a formal bow.

her attitudes drive me nuts sometimes. Not so much Pride and Prejudice, but Fanny in Mansfield Park, for instance. Or Emma's submission to Mr. Knightly.(
Fanny *IS* nauseating, isn't she? When I first read it, I wondered if Austen wrote the entire thing as a cautionary tale against taking in desperate relatives. Fanny and the bossy evil aunt are two sides of the same coin ... it's just that Fanny is smarter. She ends up taking everything she wants from the family that takes her in.

And, hmmmm. The ending of Emma is soooo boring, but you bring up the intriguing possibility of a bondage-themed sequel ... yesssss ... The Dungeon of Donwell!

You know who will end up in charge of that relationship ... the sub is, really, *always* in charge. Emma would look great in black leather, don't you think?

I like the camouflage tape. Very handy for blending in with the environment-- except a couple of them I'm not sure which planet's environment they are intended. Of course, I'm not a duck so I wouldn't understand these things.

Oh, doubtless that deep in the bosom of every 18th century woman there was a dark, forbidden, unspoken desire for a jolly good and thorough brandishing...


Rogering, Des, rogering.

I tend to get lost in Austen. Besides, she's too dependent upon being "literary". I prefer P.D james who mixes intelligence an poise with some quiet and expensive insanity. Much more realistic.

I'd apologise for the ridiculous schoolboy laugh if I thought it would do any good but I'm sorry, this just made me giggle!

Funny you should say that. I've recently been reading a very (*cough*) interesting 18th-century text called "Venus in the Cloister, or, The Nun in Her Smock." Apparently, in some quarters, there was a whole lot of "brandishing" going on . . . :eek:

:p

Yes, you're right, of course. Hard to imagine Emma ever really losing control, is it? And with Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie version? It raises some interesting possibilities. :cool:

BTW, has anyone read any of those zombie/vampire parodies of Austen that are out now?

18th-century women don't "roger" anyway. They "swoon" . . . or something. :rolleyes:

I think she'd be called a "Matron of Honour".


Only if she is married, herself, would she be a 'matron of honor'. Because you see, if a woman was not married, then she was assumed to be a maid......the term was all about virginity, not how long in the tooth one was. Kinda barbaric, on 2nd thought. /me laughs.

Oh, I was merely commenting upon the deep inner desire for women to exercise feminism down through the ages... did it seem like I was suggesting something else?

From: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
In 1986, a group of feminists published "Caught Looking: Feminism, Pornography, and Censorship" ... In the introduction, Kate Ellis, Barbara O'Dair and Abby Tallmer argue that “the feminist movement must not be drawn, in the name of protecting women, into the practice of censoring ‘deviant’ sexual representation or expression … Women had to learn, with the support of other women, to articulate experiences that lay outside the proper sphere of the ‘nice girl,’ to acknowledge our fantasies, and to be proud of our sexual choices … We must speak out when we are victims, but also acknowledge what excites us, and support women who make their living providing that excitement to men and to ourselves” (Ellis et al. 1986, 6). Ann Snitow advocates recentering feminist sexuality discussions on “the right to demand a sexuality more centered on female pleasure,” instead of focusing on controlling male sexuality (Snitow 1986, 11).

Seems to me that one form of "brandishing" could -- indeed SHOULD -- lead to the other? ;)

We'll make a third-wave feminist out of you yet, Des. :D

Does no one else find Adam Dalgliesh rather a cold fish?

Swooning was something Jane Austin disapproved of very much. She wrote:

"Beware of fainting fits..Though at the time they may be refreshing and agreeable, yet believe me they will, in the end, prove destructive to your constitution...Beware of swoons, dear Laura.....A frenzy fit is not one quarter so pernicious; it is an exercise to the Body and if not too violent, is, I daresay, conducive to health. Run mad as often as you chuse, but do not faint".

On saying those words to her dear friend, Sophia died - one swoon too many!

I think Des was getting his words mixed up - he surely meant "ravishing".

Nothing like a good ravish on a Sunday afternoon. :)

Ah well - that's the story of my life. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

Hmmm. Miss Austen disapproved of a great deal, didn't she?

In the poem "The Disappointment," by Aphra Behn (from about 1680), the poor shepherdess Cloris desperately wants to make out with Lisander, but more or less has to "swoon" because NOT to do so would be . . . unvirtuous.

Her balmy Lips encountring his,
Their Bodies as their Souls are joyn'd,
Where both in Transports were confin'd,
Extend themselves upon the Moss.
Cloris half dead and breathless lay,
Her Eyes appear'd like humid Light,
Such as divides the Day and Night;
Or falling Stars, whose Fires decay ;
And now no signs of Life she shows,
But what in short-breath-sighs returns and goes.

Anyway, the result, predictably, is disastrous: he gets a bit carried away, shoots his load too quickly, and she "wakes up" to discover that she's missed her chance for fun.

So maybe Austen was right. But for the wrong reasons. ;)

No, I am not seeking a BF *or* a husband.

One user agrees.
