(to be continued...)

Not to be a total asshole, (but I really do pay close attention to your posts which are always lovely), but it appears you are missing a closing parenthesis in the blurb about Stanford White.

I desperately need proofreading, so please keep it up. I'll fix that asap.

Evelyn Nesbitt:
I was once the lady friend of Stanford White.
He's the famous architect -
Yes, that's right.
He put me on a velvet swing,
And made me wear... well... hardly anything!

Ruined at the age of fifteen,
Your honor!

Then I went a married Mr. Harry Thaw...
Eccentric millionaire.

Harry's a jealous man.
Bang! Bang!
That was the end of Stan.

Your honor, be fair!
My Harry went crazy, I swear!

Now it's the
Crime of the Century!
Crime of the Century!
Giving the world a thrill!

Harry's in trouble
And Stanny's in heaven
And Evelyn is in Vaudeville!

The Crime of the Century,
Crime of the Century,
Not such an awful thing-

Stanny's killed,
But my mother's thrilled
'Cause now I'm the girl on the swing!

Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn't write it. It's from the musical version of the EL Doctorow novel Ragtime. Lyric by Lynn Arhens.

Yeah, I want to do a comic on that. Nesbitt was freaking HOT.

I once dated a girl who played Evelyn Nesbitt! Not quite the same thing, but she was very good-looking too.
