The Social web is more interesting and broader in context than you might think!
by Rob Paterson
A year or so ago, my sister Diana and I were writing a series on courtesans - we were exploring the unconventional aspects of relationships where some women had the upper hand. Where they used their minds and their innate understanding of men to gain power and an independent life. Women like Madame de Stael or Pamela Harriman.
As I posted, my blog was discovered by a leading light in the escort community - Yes a Governer Spitzer kind of escort but one with the difference that at the really high end, women like the English Courtesan work for themselves only.
The English Courtesan - whom I regret I have never met - is a true advocate of the culture of social media is excellent at connecting with her own world.
Here is a taste as she introduces some of her friends. As you can see, Blogging has become a central tool in the highly personal branding that the high end woman of the world has to have. I love her “About” page too.
The other blogs may surprise you - here is a link to a video of one of the women introducing an artist at a reading dinner. Why might she do this? Because I think at the high end, the real appeal is that they offer warmth and intellect as well as the obvious. This is miles away from CW!
