Wilkommen, bienvenue! Actually just bienvenue. Because yes, we are once again plunging you into another insufferably French episode, where Bash and Lucy compete for the "Best Francophone" Award no one offered. This week, we examine the life, luxuries, and labial exploits of Françoise Raucourt, one of 18th century Paris' most iconic lesbian actresses. La Raucourt catapulted to fame at the age of 16, and stayed in the public eye plus ou moins for the next 40 years. Renowned for her lavish spending as much as her riotous rugmunching, she survived the fall of France's royals, the Revolution, and the Napoleonic Chode himself with sapphic savvy. We'll also explain in this episode how the 18th century turned Bash gay, because you are clearly dying to know.
