And that’s another edition of RP Theatre (click here for more)! Since I have a bunch of new readers, thought I’d do a short comic to re-introduce some of the people I’ve already covered. We have:
- Zenobia, 3rd century rebel Syrian queen who conquered a bunch of Roman territories and made a short-lived empire.
- Stephanie St. Clair, a Harlem mob boss who actually bought newspaper ads to taunt her foes
- Lyudmila Pavlichenko, deadliest female sniper in history
- Julie d’Aubigny, sword-slinging, opera-singing rock star who burnt down a convent to bang a nun
- Manuela Saenz, Latin American revolutionary who harvested moustaches from her enemies.
Back to long comic format next week.
HARVEST ALL THE MOUSTACHES
Why has there not been a major film about d’Aubigny’s life yet? This needs to be a thing!
There isn’t a film but there is a book. It’s called Goddess by Kelly Gardiner. But I agree there needs to be a proper film, one that does her justice and doesn’t portray her as over sexualised.
If anyone could disrupt Pavlichenko’s cool, it’d be La Maupin.
Yeah, I’ve read it. Pretty good book, though it certainly takes a few liberties. The framing story with the priest was interesting, but I wasn’t a fan of the use of present tense in the flashbacks/main story.
Loved the part with lyudmila and aubingy , and thats one extra sexy shit to pornify :)
Agreeing w/Alison E. Wise from the d’Aubigny page – it must be in the style of the 1970s “The Three Musketeers” movies.
Yeah, a film would probably just make her into an oiled kitten writhing on top of everyone, with perhaps one fencing scene where they’d be mostly busy showing off her ass. The problem with films about women who were smart and seductive is that the “smart” part is tossed out of the window, and the hole it leaves behind is crammed with cheap, male-gaze-oriented “sexiness.”
