Dangerous Beauty
August 18, 2009 –
I just managed to watch this dvd. I know, I know, I have been wanting to watch it for over a year now! Anyway, I did it and it was good. Thanks Mr N for the gift! x It was more of a love story than I thought it would be, ahhhh. Some great lines in the film too and of course stunning location – Venice. Try and watch it if you can. Its also called The Honest Courtesan for some reason.
Mr M read my post about men’s underpants and bought me a rather fetching pair of Dolce & Gabanna boxers. Hehehehe Very nice they look too, and ever so comfy, maybe I should wear men’s pants all the time ;). Thanks M!
How naughty am I? Only just back from my hols and I am already getting itchy feet. I fancy one of those spa breaks in Thailand or somewhere lush like that. Just a chill out, pamperings, great food and fabulous sunsets. You cant blame me really. Its not as though we have had a great summer (again), I think I blinked when we had those good few days. I get all excited, think this is it and peak too soon. I should appreciate the moment better. I know its a well worn cliche but summers really were better and longer when I was a kid. No I didnt live in the Bahamas (but I may one day :) Ho hum, Im off to check out some holiday sites.
Now you know I dont do quickies, but I couldnt resist…the joke I mean :)
While making love, he says:
- Darling, let’s do 68!
- 68??? What’s that?
- You do it to me and I’ll owe you one.
Hope you are having a good one if you are on holiday xxx

It’s called ‘The Honest Courtesan’ because Veronica Franco was known for her integrity as well as her many talents, writing, poetry, wit and intelligence. My heroine!
You are going to love reading the book by Margaret F. Rosenthal ‘The Honest Courtesan’ of course! Buy it now! D xxx

It’s my pleasure Rhia, I’m glad you enjoyed the film. I thought it was going to be more of a bio-pic as well. It feels more like a rights of passage rom-com, even going so far as having some slow-mo in the training montage and our hero sailing off into the sunset (after an “I’m Spartacus” moment). All that said I really liked it. I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for rom-com’s anyway, but it’s got a great script and a good cast and I think it works really well.
