"We are not Amuse'd".

Please more (scantily clad) bodies.

Victoria was more fun than people give her credit for. Nice to see her all dressed up, even if she had no place to go.

LOL! Clever retort to the qualms about the Padma nude.

Well done, Anon 8:03! I concur.

Although tame by today's standards, the Victorian era did produce some lusty erotica. (Am I the only one who found sex ed amongst the pages of "The Pearl"?)

Attributed to historian Peter Gay (one can only pray for living up to one's name) via Wikipedia: "... contrary to what we might expect, Queen Victoria liked to draw and collect male nudes and even gave her husband one as a present."

Count me among the loyal subjects (er, possums) who thoroughly enjoy Charlus' and Miss Xaxa's gifts of "art".
