Sexuality
Cheap Perfume and Candlelight
"It's so easy now to swing/When the swing set feels just right.."
So you think you're quite a man
You're taking care of all her needs
Sometimes it's even twice a weekend
At least it's every time you need
Yeah, it's so easy now to swing
When the swing set feels just right
Like a fifty dollar room
Cheap perfume and candlelight
'Cause once you thought the thrill as gone
Your passion seemed to fade and die
You left a woman back at home
Alone and so unsatisfied
You hit the street to feel the thrill
Of the hunter in the night
Your prey was out there dressed to kill
In cheap perfume and candlelight
Cheap perfume and candlelight
The situation makes the man
If you can't make it back at home
You make it any way you can
And you can, it's so nice
That now you can
Maybe you'll never stop to think
Just for the true test did it be
Love your ever loving manhood of your masculinity
If you could satisfy the woman
Right back at home there every night
Instead of now and then
The girl in cheap perfume and candlelight
Instead of now and then
The girl in cheap perfume and candlelight
Instead of now and then
The girl in cheap perfume and candlelight

Unauthorized Dwellings 5
Keeping one's lover in the attic, hidden from the resident husband, has to require some chutzpah.
Full story here.
Dolly Oesterreich, 33 at the time, first became friendly with 17-year-old Otto Sanhuber (Jul 16, 1888 - ?)around 1913 and described him as her "vagabond half-brother." The two quickly became lovers and met clandestinely at Sanhuber's boarding room or at a nearby hotel. They also arranged trysts at Dolly's home but, when neighbors began noting Otto's increasingly frequent comings and goings and alerted her husband, Dolly suggested to Otto that he quit his job and secretly move into the Oesterreichs' upstairs attic to allay any further suspicions. He readily agreed to the arrangement. Not only would this put him in closer proximity to his lover but it would also give him time to pursue his dream of writing pulp fiction stories. Sanhuber would later describe himself as Dolly's "sex slave".

Jill Huntley, Mistress of the Half and Half Dance
As we can learn from reading the history of the term, a "half and half dance" originally involved a simple bipartite costume, one half male, one half female. But then in Burlesque, the act morphed into dancing with an actual dummy partner.You can read about the mistress of this mode, Jill Huntley, here.

Artwork Khrushchev Probably Would Not Have Liked 6
The artist is Federico Beltran Masses.
"Hints of drugginess in the eyes, and suggestions of Sapphic eroticism laid on with a trowel, created a sultry visual cocktail that appealed equally to celebrities of the order of Rudolph Valentino, Joan Crawford and King George VI, all of whom had their portraits painted, and the general public."
Full essay here.
