There is a new entry in [community profile] what_ho_library , "Below Stairs: Valets, Maids, And Other Domestic Servants".

It is a collection of links to historical resources about all aspects of servant life in the early 20th century England. Sources include Wikipedia, Jane Austen's World, A Victorian, Mrs. Beeton's Guide To Household Management, and many more.

Including [personal profile] quaffanddoff 's fic, Jackpot, which besides being an excellent fic, has detailed information of a servant's wages and other expenses.

Although it is mostly for Jeeves And Wooster fandom writers, it is also helpful to all writers of historical fic set in 1900-1930. More entries will be forthcoming on a variety of topics. So far we have an entry of timelines of sexual slang, thanks to [personal profile] belphegor , with much more to come.

If anyone has one to suggest, please leave it in the comments below.

I'll be putting up a poll to gauge interest in having a sister community to [community profile] give_satisfaction . It would be a historical resource community focusing on vintage sex, slang, history, and articles of interest. I also might write the occasional essay on Wodehouse's writing. Plus of course there would be a post of Wodehouse info and links. Any other subjects you want explored, too.

There's a lot of stuff to hand and I don't want to spam [community profile] indeedsir unless the mod is okay with me doing so. The poll will go up in a day or so. Let me know your thoughts.





"I say, Jeeves, 18th slang for the male member is quite strange."

Hey, gang -

I have this hanging in my home. I got it at an antique photo sale about 30 years ago!

Petting party



This was one of many "sex warning movies" that were uh, about sex warnings? Not so much. More an excuse to watch sex.






A "petting party" was basically everything except sexual intercourse. So, no, it didn't stop with a kiss! Vintage cars had "rumble seats", shown below.  You could get up to a lot back there!

Did anyone in Wodehouse world know about this?

If any of this inspires you, go ahead! If you want to discuss old timey sex, please comment.
