Queen Victoria met Lady E. and Miss P. as a girl while touring around the kingdom before she became queen. She made some appropriately adolescent cracks about them in her journal, which belies the story about her not knowing lesbians existed.

Queen Charlotte visited with them too. Queens and Lesbians, meeting for over 200 years!

Gothic Revival is so very!

And with Sapphists?

Heaven!

And this was early revival, before Vicky came to the throne.

Antebellum AND Auntie Vicky?

Delightful!

(Though of course now I have to go pop in "The Bette Midler Show" from 76 so I can see Vicky Edie in her full glory!)

Indeed and indeed.

I love how the Wikipedia entry refers to them as "uninterested in fashion." Which, you know, translates into not-very-feminine and BUTCH.

Funny, I've just been reading (again) about Ann Lister, a contemporary of theirs with a penchant for describing, in highly graphic, coded entries, sexual exploits that would make a porn star blush.

She's the reason they invented Listerine?
