'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Duncan was a passenger in the Amilcar automobile of a handsome young Italian mechanic, Benoît Falchetto, whom she had ironically nicknamed 'Buggatti'
What does "Buggatti" mean? What endearment do you pick for a lover who already shares his name with a sex toy?
I'm surprised that you all didn't know about Duncan's sad end.
I knew!
Gay friends in college ensured she was an oft-used reference. It's only now that I realise I have no idea who she is, although I knew so much about her death.

I thought Jesse would know something like that, but I wanted towould include the Wiki info for the people who would go "huh?".
A Bugatti is a kind of car.
I wrote a paper on Isadora Duncan in High School. And I think of her whenever someone quotes "writing about music is like dancing about architecture", since there was a great passage in the bio written by one of her adopted daughters describing her dancing in the Parthenon (maybe, somewhere with a lot of columns and historic significance) with no music, just inspired by the building.
Her husband was a Russian poet who thought people should read novels straight through without interruption (not taking time out to sleep or eat or work) to fully appreciate them. He would probably not be pleased that that is all I remember about him.

Thank you!
(please don't tell Cass I didn't know that)
In like 7th grade, my best friend had a long scarf that she liked to wear, so someone made the Duncan reference then.
