Now I am sure many of you will have already been there and done that but I have just found myself able to host a most delicious salon at my handsome townhouse. You may think you also own a handsome townhouse because it says so in your inventory but I assure you my handsome townhouse is far more… um handsomer, yes handsomeful and possibly townier, and my salons are the talkiest of the town!
Or at least they would be if not for the need to bring in suitable entertainment to engage the reprobates, of course I mean honoured guests and orphans if you so chose to go that route.
So I thought perhaps we could perhaps devise a list of those who would be willing to frequent salons and orphanages upon request. My particular conundrum was my Salon was thinking it could do with an author - where I, yes I the most illustrious author of our age, or perhaps I should add the word potentially in there somewhere appropriate - was not considered. I would need to find another author of dubious origin and purpose - for shame! Ignominy!
Anyway, enough of your whining. I thought it might perhaps be useful for us to collate a list of those professionals who might entertain and delight both young and old for both salons and orphanages in one place. I know! Crazy right?
So, the idea is I’ll build up a list as you add your names to it. If someone has done this before me then all I can say is it cant be as good as mine (sniff) but also it should be a sticky (hint mods).
Note to Moderators: We need a sticky for this either in Bazaar or Salons as I couldn’t find one before I posted this - this or an earlier (less handsome and wondrous version obviously, should be stickied for the good of all Londoners, and Squids and I bet the Devils would throw something your way also) edited by turbosnowy on 12/30/2017 edited by turbosnowy on 1/3/2018 edited by turbosnowy on 1/4/2018 edited by turbosnowy on 1/31/2018 edited by turbosnowy on 1/31/2018 edited by turbosnowy on 2/14/2018[/b] edited by turbosnowy on 2/16/2018
Social action requests and offers go over in the Salons section of the forum. There’s quiteafewsimilarthreadsthere already, though we could really do with one general stickied Salon/Orphanage thread.
Common roll up folks and enlist yourself for the benefit of all Neathdwellers! Amaze and delight urchins and oprhans as you pull a dead rabbit from your nose via unfortunate manipulation of rare magicks! Delight and entertain dumbfounded and snoozing guests at a society salon with your thesis on pan-dimensional space-time and it’s realtion to gravitational helixes!
Oh and there’s probably free booze, so there’s always that.
The Scarlet Saint Prof. Eva May Canning is an Author who’d be pleased to attend your Salon - if you’re lucky, she’ll bring her witchy wife along. If you’re unlucky, she’ll bring her daughter, and your guests will leave with lighter pockets than they arrived. ;) edited by phryne on 1/3/2018
Many thanks for Eva - added to the list. We also need other professions like Crooked Crosses and Midnighters and mercantile ladies of the night! So don’t be shy, stick your name down to attend some delicious parties and gatherings by the most notable and wondrous gentlefolk the Neath has to offer!
OK the ladies of the night request wasn’t necessarily for society salons per se, but always good to know, you know, umm for a friend.
Indeed, finding a quality seamstress is such a chore I find. Thanks for signing up Meradine and you’re on TS ‘Stars of the Neath’ list now! (Much better than that dodgy Slowcake’s list).
I’m an advocate for particularly elucidating and uncommon points of view, wonderfully stimulating at parties. Or, in the vulgate, I suppose the term “crooked-cross” might apply.
I would be delighted to be invited into the fine homes of London’s most upstanding and affluent citizens.
