Lola Bella 
Lola Bella a little less After reading the story of Lola Montez (it was she who inspired the way of saying "What Lola wants, Lola gets ") in the book" History of the Other - Concubine, lovers, kept , friends " (this is not a romance), curiosity to ascertain the veracity of the allegations enthusiastic about her legendary beauty was too strong. (Thank goodness that Google exists)
I propose two portraits of the famous man-eater, or rather, handful of men, claiming to be English, when in reality he was Irish by birth (which nerve). I leave you to aesthetic evaluation. I am hesitant. Sometimes it seems fascinating and sometimes very ugly.
fact is that beautiful or not beautiful, some unusual gift he had to have her, he managed to string along even Ludwig I of Bavaria. Men in one piece, shrewd, steely and conscientious in the administration of finances and affairs of state, who, before her, became a lamb, bevendosi without batting an eye, one after another, all the bullshit that she had decided to make him drink. The Life of Lola Montez was nothing short of adventurous. Worthy of a novel.
was called Eliza Rosanna Gilbert, she was born, as already mentioned, Ireland, in 1821, but young, he moved to Spain where, after studying dance, she began a career as a dancer and reinvented from top to toe. Actually, was not limited to Spain. He traveled the length and breadth of Europe. He entered the circle of George Sand, thanks to the 'friendship' with Franz Liszt. When he returned to England, was now Dolores de Maria y Porris Montez, Lola said, English dancer, daughter of a decayed noble (including the history of noble descent was obviously a lie). Contemporary reviews express some skepticism about his real skill in the art of Terpsichore. It seems that Lola, rather than dance, he worked in sinuous sensual movements designed to seduce. His work as a dancer, in truth, be joined by a parallel, and far more intense, a courtesan. Famous lovers do not count, as well as husbands. Squandering the wealth of a man and then passed to a new and more attractive, wins. But the long shot of Lola was winning the heart of Ludwig of Bavaria, a king, but also a man in full midlife crisis. Fact that for her literally rincitrullì (= stoned). I avoid going into details the adventures of the two articulated (I can not omit, however, that the king had the privilege to enjoy the grace of the beloved only twice, it seems, however, on the other hand, she often gave him a kiss on the mouth with lips slightly parted). As expected, the powerful mistress Lola got appanages staggering. Natural Remedy also a noble title, that of the Countess of Landsfeldt, following which further raised the crest and demanded even more. Up to be hated by the entire Bavaria, which bear less and less its growing influence over the king. The "poor" Ludwig realized that he was teased when she now lives in Switzerland with her new lover, where she had moved just to save themselves from the fury of the people who hated it. Unaware of the new emotional situation of the beloved, the king continued to write passionate love letters and give money, mantendendo, unknowingly, in addition to her, also her lover. Until he jumped out of a hot ex-husbands whose revelations could not be denied nor refuted, and Ludwig surrendered evidence of having been deceived. What's more, she was also blackmailed, where, in order to extract a final tranche of money, threatened to publish love letters that would have covered with ridicule.
At the time, read this woman with so much "sleeping on the stomach," I generated a sense of disapproval. Then I gradually changed its attitude, almost to like him.
In principle, I wonder how many of those who plucked chickens, had been hitherto cynical and unscrupulous businessmen arid heart. And if even the most intelligent men and "smart" at some point in their lives, become so stupid before the lure of an attractive young woman who makes her two moine (I would be trespassing into boccacesco with the famous "pulls more a hair etc .... etc.) worse for them ... no? Reaching maturity, also stopped Lola seek fame and wealth and "redeemed". He converted to the religion and to good works. It is adapted to live modestly and had outbursts of generosity and philanthropy that have "ennobled" existence.
He also wrote a memoir, which carry a sentence that struck me the modernity of thought:
"Genius has no sex! ... Great men have come out well enough, I suppose , people of principle does not expect to find as much or little morality in the life of a great man. ... But a woman ah! A woman must be a saint ... I mean, in short, it should. And in this way leaves the men's monopoly of the sin of all sins of the world. "
