I'd heard of one of the four demi-mondes in that book. Cora Pearl was actually Emma Crouch, originally from England. To advertise her wares at the start of her career, she played the small part of Cupid in an operetta by Offenbauch. Her costume... ivory opera gloves and a few well placed diamonds. A very interesting woman. Thanks for the book tip.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
