gimme that old time hoochie

[seide]

Attended a lecture on the history of the red-light district in New Orleans. Always an interesting topic, and although the material presented was all stuff I'd heard or read before (including a lot of the visual aids) it was a nice refresher. The lecture was completely crowded, so I sat on the floor. Got to see drunah, dlightful, and marathoner452, that's a yay

Now I just have to write a novel about a vampire hooker on a hunt for the cup, and I'll have it made.

Surely, Poppy Z. Brite has already beaten you to it?

She would write a novel about a gay hustler vampire searching for something way more phallic . . .

Or Ann Rice, except she's all Christ-y now.

[yoniyum]

Then Anne Rice might be all about the grail!

[seide]

Yes! Jesus van Helsing trying to stop Joseph of Arimathea, who has become a vampire pimp going around collecting everyone's blood in the holy grail. With special guest Mary Magdalen as his dracu-ho.

If I were a vampire hooker I'd want my holy grail to be full of beer right now. I'm going to have to settle for bottles from the fridge.

You did indeed seem much happier, look at you getting out and about!

makes me happy to hear this about our mutual friend. sounds like a lively lecture.

The lady who gave it was really cute. I think she got this special thrill out of saying WHORE! WHORE! WHORE! to this group of mostly well-heeled, landed-gentry-type New Orleanians sitting in a pretty room.

[scottynola]

I'd read that.

[seide]

I wonder how many novels started out as a joking conversation . . .

[scottynola]

Bourbon Street Blues is one that I can think of.

dammit. there's nothing that facinates me more than old time hoochie. I even have victorian prostitution as one of my LJ interests for christ's sake...*pouts*
