The clothes make the man and in this case woman. Miss Brindley looks so nice in her late Victorian clothing. She does not seem to mind being called a "delicate flower". I am sure some FemiNzai reading the article blew a gasket. LOL!!!

Uses quill and ink, yet found his match on Instagram... now that’s just dumb.

_{A man who lives like a Victorian and claims to be one of England's most eligible bachelors has finally met the woman of his dreams who shares his passion for the 1800s. Michael Koropisz, 24, a classical portrait painter from Stockport, Greater Manchester, refuses to watch television and writes with a quill and ink.}

Interesting. I'd check him out, but I guess he does not have a website, Twitter account or Facebook. Etc.

This is the kind of “slightly odd” I can endorse.

Hi.

A question for the Annoyingly Over moderated group.

How do Victorians have sex? Missionary position only, or other stuff?

Science Fiction writer Neal Stephenson wrote a wonderful book called “The Diamond Age”. It envisions a future of nanotechnology and a society coming to grips with global social disruption in the post-20th century world. There is no global government. There are also no nation states. Instead, there are “distributed republics” made up of people who can live anywhere but have “citizenship” within a defined social grouping. (Like a church which is “people” and not “a building on Elm Street.”)

The most powerful group are the New Victorians. Very rich, very high tech they have achieved enormous success in this future world. In large part, because they are more disciplined, more controlled, more moral than other groups. They deliberately copy Victorian values and this gives them advantages over other groups which have not fully abandoned the failed values of the 20th century.

Quite a good read, and written in a style rather similar to Dickens novel.

Other people do it, too.

I love the Victorian era. So I decided to live in it.

As a bonus, while I found these, I also found this article:

How the Victorians turned mere beasts into man’s best friends

I clicked on it, because I misread "beasts" as another word.

What happens when they get the Consumption (TB)?

Will they only allow themselves to be treated with 1800’s ‘remedies?’ ;)

How about a gal stone, or a hernia? Will her child-bearing be strictly 1800’s as well?

You’d better think this through to the end, Dear Girl, LOL!

[Two Kids' Dad]

What makes anyone a “most eligible bachelor” (or bachelorette)? How do they differ from the regular bachelors and bachelorettes?

“...writes with a quill and ink.”

---

Maybe some “Victorians” from the early part of her reign (1830s) were still using quills, but I think by the time you get to the 1880s, dip pens with steel nibs were more common. Fountain pens (pens that hold their own ink) were just beginning to appear.

Need some Kinks....

Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, ‘toria

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land I shall die
Let her sun never set
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, ‘toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, toria

Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Victoria, ‘toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, ‘toria

Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, ‘toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria

Sure, it’s all fun and games, until you get to the Penny Dreadful.

I hope the young people will be happy together. There’s plenty of room in the world for people who want to do life differently.
