Lorelili's definitions
Another word for a prostitute. Not to be confused with a musical instrument or snack that is served with tea.
It's tea and crumpets, not tea and strumpets.
-You play the trumpet, not the strumpet!
-But the strumpet is well-skilled on the skin flute.

"For that girl, that lovely maiden; the clinging
of her dress makes you shake when you see it,
And I laugh for joy." -Sappho.
"On the throne of many hues, Immortal Aphrodite,
child of Zeus, weaving wiles--I beg you
not to subdue my spirit, Queen,
with pain or sorrow
but come--if ever before
having heard my voice from far away
you listened, and leaving your father's
golden home you came
in your chariot yoked with swift, lovely
sparrows bringing you over the dark earth
thick-feathered wings swirling down
from the sky through mid-air
arriving quickly--you, Blessed One,
with a smile on your unaging face
asking again what have I suffered
and why am I calling again
and in my wild heart what did I most wish
to happen to me: "Again whom must I persuade
back into the harness of your love?
Sappho, who wrongs you?
For if she flees, soon she'll pursue,
she doesn't accept gifts, but she'll give,
if not now loving, soon she'll love
even against her will."
Come to me now again, release me from
this pain, everything my spirit longs
to have fulfilled, fulfill, and you
be my ally -Sappho.

Get the sappho mug.(1863?-November 9, 1888) The fifth and final recognized victim of Jack the Ripper. Also known as "Fair Emma", "Ginger", and "Black Mary".
Compared with the four previous victims, Mary's origins are obscure, most of what we know about her comes from Joe Barnett, her boyfriend of 18 months and much of it could be embellished.
Mary was born in Limerick, Ireland, raised in Wales, and came to London in 1884 as a prostitute after she was widowed around 1882.
Mary worked at first in a high-class West End brothel and was even invited by a wealthy client to France, but she disliked the experience and soon returned to London.
Somehow, Mary ended up on the grim streets of the East End. In 1888, she and Joe Barnett had landed at 13 Miller's Court, on Dorset Street. Mary regularly let her homeless friends spend the night, despite Joe's protests. By November, Joe had lost his job as a dock worker and rent was 3 weeks overdue; they separated after a spat, but reconciled just hours before she was murdered.

In the realm of Jack the Ripper, Mary Jane Kelly is an enigma within a mystery and finding her true origins has become a quest.
Mary was young and was said to be pretty, although no photo exists of her in life. She was five-foot-seven, tall and buxom with blue eyes and flowing hair, usually going without a hat. Strangely, we don't know her hair color and her aliases are difficult to decipher.
"Black Mary" could well refer to her temper; Mary was violent when drunk but was otherwise quiet.
Mary's last night saw her singing "A Violet From Mother's Grave" before going out and returning home with a client.
Her landlord and his assistant found her later that morning at 10:45 AM.
Her body lay hideously mutilated on her bed; she was nearly beheaded, her face hacked beyond recognition, her breasts removed, her thighs flayed to the bone, her abdomen opened from groin to sternum and emptied, the organs scattered around her.
