Propaganda under the cut

Cléo de Mérode:

Her freckles!!! I’ve also never understood the phrase “neck like a swan” before cause like I’ve never exactly seen anyone with like a neck so wonderful it’s worth pointing out but like Cléo de Mérode has a neck like a swan. No wonder she was the first ever celebrity

Another heroine for my pantheon. Cléo de Mérode, courtesan, muse, dancer, and taste-making scenester of the Belle Époque. She inspired Gustav Klimt, among others. :: [Candice Dyer]

* * * *

“The Reverend Mother must combine the seductive wiles of a courtesan with the untouchable majesty of a virgin goddess, holding these attributes in tension so long as the powers of her youth endure. For when youth and beauty have gone, she will find that the place-between, once occupied by tension, has become a wellspring of cunning and resourcefulness.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune
