I decided probably before I should have before I was ready, that I would never get married. It wasn't so much a decision as a firm knowledge, that I would never share my life with another human being in such a conventional manner. My parents were married and it only brought them both misery. I hate, hated my Father. Not because he was cruel he was never cruel to me, but because he was too much like me he was a mirror in, which I did not wish to look into. My Father was an inconstant philandering Swiss watch maker; yes I know what you are thinking it is stereotypical. My Mother had a stocking dyeing business, I adore stockings even now. I had over a dozen brothers and sisters, but I was only really close to three of my siblings Hariette, Fanny and Sophia. Of course they are all dead now. We weren't poor, but we weren't rich my parents had the mis-fortune of breeding children who stubbornly refused to die in infancy. My sister Fanny was the first to leave she ran away with one of our Father's rich clients. Hariette followed taking flight with a neighbour. And then one day it was my turn. I was an adventurer. I held fast to the decision I had made in childhood, you see marriage was really the only option for a girl like me then marriage or teaching, and I knew nothing. I wanted to learn I have a thirst for knowledge, but I had no tools at my disposal. So I ran away not far I was born and raised in London. I was reunited with my wayward sisters and like them I became a courtesan.
I know what you are thinking, but you are wrong I was never; have never been a prostitute. I was a courtesan I was never paid for sex, and I never had more than one lover at a time. My lovers enjoyed my company paid my bills, bought my clothes, cancelled my debts but never directly gave me money. It's just a rule; it's like being half a prostitute half a mistress a little bit of both, and then again neither. Modern people struggle to understand these things. All people are modern.
I have always been a creature of the night. As a courtesan my social calendar only really began at night, theatres, and parties. I would go to bed a dawn and wake just as the sun was setting; a routine, which I keep religiously too even now. It's not easy to be a courtesan there's more than just sex involved; you can have sex with anyone; a courtesan has to posses something, which grabs you which attracts you and calls you back until you finally grow bored. You have to be able to talk and know when to keep quite, you have to be witty and bright but also breezy; you are after all only entertainment.
I am a naturally quite person not that I can't hold my own in a conversation, it's just I prefer to hold back from the action and watch. I like to see everything; to know everything. Watching someone only for a few moments you can learn almost everything you will ever need to know about that individual. The life I live it is important to know how people will react to me. Plus I have Anthrax with me and she's more than capable of doing most of the talking for both of us.
It's Anthrax who inspired me to write this, these little scribbles of mine. She turned to me one night and said casually, as casually as Anthrax could ever say anything to anyone; 'if you're so fucking bored, why don't you write a bloody autobiography like Russell Brand!'
So that is what this is, my autobiography.
I have begun with my birth, my natural first birth as I have always referred to it. But it is my re-birth I think you my reader will find the more fascinating.
