To get to 73 in the 17th century wasn't bad going especially in her line of work

[debbieanne]

Have you told the story of Samuel Pepys? 17th century diarist, would be very interesting

[phineas]

excellent video. probably the same men who prosecuted her, went to the brothel. Hypocrites!

[moondancer]

I adore your work..Really appreciate it.

That film The Libertine about the Duke of Rochestr really captures this time. John Malkovich as Chareles II was so interesting. I wonderwhy a film hasn't been made about Elizabeth too. Pretty unrully times but the style was amazing. Even the poor had style back then, unlike these days...

I love this! Now I'm going to watch the DVD I have of Moll Flanders and another about Charles 2nd. You put me in a history mood now. Plus I live about a 10 minute walk from Little Britain near Barbican. I'll check it out tomorrow. Keep them coming!
