Salon de Femme--aut delectare aut prodesse est
From Wikipedia:
A salon is a gathering of intellectual, social, political, and cultural elites under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through conversation. These gatherings often consciously following Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). The salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical salons of the 17th century and 18th century, were carried on until quite recently in urban settings among like-minded people of a 'set': many 20th-century salons could be instanced. Now, I don't know that we are the cultural elite, but I do know that we amuse and inspire one another by our similarities and differences. Let's use this thread as a way to gather with one another and learn from one another. I'm sure we will have other threads pop up for sporty femmes and high femmes and femmes with high heels and femmes in sneakers. How about we make this thread a place to welcome one another in all our guises of femme? We can throw out questions for discussions and move from there. Sound good? First question: So if femme is a label, what does that label look like on you? Not what do you think that label should look like, but how do you express the uniqueness of being femme in our community? P.to the S. Any one of us can pitch a question so please do. Answer the ones you like. Ignore the ones you don't. So come to the Salon! There's tea, coffee, wine, cosmos and more at the virtual bar. Food too. |
