Liane de Pougy (maiden name: Anne-Marie Chassaigne)
Born in 1869 and died in 1950
Liane lived an amazing adventure of a life - she danced through the Belle Époque and made her fortune - ending the graceful curve by finding salvation in a Swiss convent...though doing it comfortably with a special dispensation to live in a suite at the Carlton Hotel in Switzerland.
She died there in elegant comfort aged 81.
(One of my members here who is fluent in French, made quite a few corrections to my pronunciation and the meanings behind certain terms - that’s no surprise when it comes to me and the French language 😂 One important correction was the age that Liane got married, it was not 10 but 17. It was written so strangely that it confused me)
Oddie Beau's ODDNESS Urban exploration & famous historical features! vintage crime cases & eccentric people from the past! ...and other weird stuff :) ....a dusty store window, filled with ancient alluring oddities. Once you've entered, you'll never want to leave. Quality over quantity.
Good morning Oddie, such a pleasure to see a post from you. Her upbringing was terribly sad, without parents. She was taught to be a Lady, but to Marry at 10 years of age??? To be assaulted so young is unimaginable to me. I have great empathy for her awful marriage. So glad she divorced that man. It is not surprising her motto was "Enjoy or Parish". That was her key to survival. Liane de Pougy, with her upbringing, experiences really had no other choice. Women were objects for men's enjoyment and use. She became a celebrity, from beaty, intelligence, and business sense. Good for her. She had no other way, did she not? She used men's desires, and customs of that time, to enrich herself. She did find satisfaction from giving and raising funds for unfortunate women. There is a wonderful feeling when one helps others. She passed away in 1950, the year I was born. Thank you Oddie. Regards to Audette.
One important correction was the age that Liane got married, it was not 10 but 17. It was written so strangely that it confused me- (I wrote a correction during the video at that part)
You're most welcome, thanks for your feedback!
Oh Oddie, another great one! These ladies deserve all the credit. And nobody does them better than you! Almost reminds me of my own mother, thankfully not the horrible upbringing, and trauma, but she was the black sheep of her family. Left to raise 2 small children when her first husband died. She put herself through beauty school, raised 3 more kids, had one bad marriage and finally a good one. In the 40s and 50s it was still tough in its own way.
Storm is rolling in now and I see the lightning 🌩. Should be able to sleep now. Thanks again for a wonderful story!
I’m very happy you enjoyed it Jackie, thank you so much.
It’s quite often the black sheep of the family who has the strongest willpower - I’m happy to hear that your mother never faulted in her stride, it was definitely tough back then.
Yet again I was lulled to sleep by your soothing voice, Oddie. And then i watched the video the next day to hear the actual story.
Thank you!
Thank you not only for the lovely compliment, but also by the equally lovely show of support - thank you so much for your generous donation, very much appreciated, my friend 🙏😊
I so appreciate all the fascinating people from days gone by that you've introduced us to. In all honesty, sir, you could tell us a tale about a peanutbutter sandwich, and we'd all be riveted 😄 You are such an amazing story teller! Thank you, Oddie!
That is very kind of you and it really makes my day, that my efforts are so appreciated - I thank you sincerely Cindy 😊
Hello,, Thanks for the interesting video. You're so funny how you finally gave up on the pronunciations of the french words, you do fantastic when you do try, it only adds to your charm. I just wanted to take notice that she did get her 6 strands of pearls that she wears in almost every photo. Anyways luv ya' ! Kelly from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I’m very glad you enjoyed it, Kelly, thank you so much for your positive feedback.
I’m happy you enjoyed my tongue trips! 😀
Yes someone else mentioned about the six strands of pearls, I hadn’t noticed that.
Hope you have a lovely upcoming weekend!
Mr.Oddie I love the way you can draw us into a Piece of History through photos and your enthusiastic rendition’s of history is absolutely enjoyable.
Thanks for your kind words my friend, that's so nice of you.
Thanks for all you do to entertain us with odd stories.💖🦋
I really appreciate the 'super thanks' donation Valerie - thank you kindly 😊
@@ObsoleteOddity Your very welcome! I love your content.💖
@@valeriejohnson5283 that’s very kind of you, Valerie, thank you so much!
I applaud your pronunciation ...at least you have a sense of humor & I applaud you for that also. We need more laughter in this sad ol' world. Thank You *Oddie* as always the best of the best to you & yours
That’s very kind of you, my friend, and you’re right we do need more laughter in this world.
Wishing you and yours also all the best and have a great start to the week!
TH-cam wouldn't be complete without ObsoleteOddity ❤ love your program, Oddie. You're a modern day VINCENT PRICE 😍💥‼️👏👏👏👏
That’s very kind of you Ellen, very much appreciated!
Well researched and fascinating story!
That’s very kind of you, thank you Dinah!
Enjoyed this story about such an amazing lady , she was a very intelligent lady she knew many influential people lived a full life in the end devoted to others thanks for a great story , there non like these this day and age
I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed this video, thank you so much for reaching out with your positive feedback. 😊
I enjoy hearing of the lives of those famous in their own time but lost to posterity. Today we have more than we could possibly count, considering how wide the pool of "celebrity" has become. Back then, without pr firms and world wide media you had to be GOOD at what you did, even if it wasn't something we'd all aspire to becoming 😮 I'm sure Liane had that certain something that put her at the top. Maybe women even prettier and just as ambitious failed at becoming wealthy courtesans because they didn't have that certain something that captivated rich men, even compelling them to plunk a small fortune on their bums! Love your work, Oddie. You make all your subjects so interesting.
Thanks for your really great feedback my friend, a truly wonderful compliment - much appreciated :)
Good afternoon Oddie. Another amazing masterpiece.
Many thanks!
Take care
Good morning Oddie🎉 my favorite storyteller.
Good evening, much appreciated Betty!
Thanks for the Sunday treat, Oddie! Hope your day is going well!
Wishing you the same, Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you Oddie for this story of love, money, hate, and death. What a busy woman she was! I just absolutely adore listening to you read! I love the accent and I laughed about the times you struggled with name! I think I could sit for hours just listening to you! You are a wonderful man! I wish you blessings always and a great week! ❤️🙏😊
Thanks for your kind words Betty, that's so nice of you.
Wishing you the same, Thank you so much! 😊
@@ObsoleteOddity Oh you are so welcome! I’ve been a subscriber for quite awhile now. ❤️🙏😊
Very excellent!!! Thank you, sir. I very much enjoy your productions and your voice!
Thank you kindly!
Interesting as always! Thank you, Oddie!!!
Thanks for watching !
Big ups Oddie Bo...I've missed ya! Greetings from Southern California
Welcome back!
(subtitles in all major languages!! - If you'd like me to add one, just ask me)
Although the many virtues that courtesans possessed were employed to defy circumstances,
the role they played depended on the same circumstances over which they triumphed-
conditions which to, fortunately for modern women, no longer exist.

My patrons support my work so I can continue.
But the older videos like this one, eventually come here.
Good morning Oddie! This was an interesting piece! She was a piece of work! Thank you for all you do♥️
Good morning! I’m very very happy you enjoyed it Jan, thank you for your lovely feedback
Hey Oddie that was absolutely brilliant. I loved the story and you laughing at some of the words and how to pronounce them! Made me smile and I needed a wee smile today. Thank you ❤
I’m happy you gave you a smile Kerry, hope your day is going a little better.
Thank you for your kind feedback 😊
Wonderful job, as usual. Thank you!
I’m very happy you enjoyed it Sandee, thank you so much.
Oddie, I'm still chuckling at all the pronunciations you did and succeeded at. So funny!!! Another good story going into the past. She had a very interesting story. Thank you, and stay safe friend.
I’m happy my tongue trips gave you a chuckle Nan, the battle continues with the French pronunciations! 😄 very glad you enjoyed it my friend, thank you ☺️
I Love listening to Oddie story telling thanks again Oddie
Thank you, Bobby, very much appreciated 😊
"That is very expensive slender buttocks." lol I literally laughed aloud.
😂😂
She was a great beauty and her determination to raise herself to be a famous courtesan should be applauded. In some of the final pictures you posted she is wearing wear the 7 strands of pearls she spoke about!! Amazing!! Bravo on your French Oddie!! Much love
Well spotted, I didn’t notice that Layla.
She was determined to get those seven strands wasn’t she!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, my friend 😊
Thank you dear Oddie for another interesting story. I confess that I smiled each time you sort of tripped over some of those French names. Thank you for that. I needed s smile today. Best wishes to you and Oddette. ❤️
Well, I’m very happy that you enjoyed it, Linda, and that my tongue trips gave you a smile.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback my friend 🙏😊
Dear Narrator, by coincidence I just recently finished reading Pougy's autobiography "Mes Cahiers Bleus". There are details in your source which are lacking in her diaries, which is natural coming from another objective, adding an extra dimension to her own records. Your presentation would be an excellent jumping off point should anyone wish to pursue this subject and actually experience her life through her eyes. Her interactions with so many of the well-known members of the artistic and upper echelon circles of French society of the period reads like a "Whose Who" of that most fascinating and creative era of French culture.
Your thorough research and presentation are, as always, exemplary and most appreciated, another job well-done! Kudos!
That’s very kind of you, thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback.
Very much appreciated 🙏😊
Sir have missed you. Glad to have found you still on This tube◇
Welcome back!
Brilliant as per oddie
Much appreciated, thank you kindly!
I absolutely love you're work ❤️ 😊. If you had been my history teacher i would have passed with flying colors. Keep up the awesome work 👌
I really appreciate that, thank you Debbie 😊
It is so good to hear from you. I can't imagine being married at 10 years old. She was a child. Just gross.
Love to you Oddie and the lovely Mrs Oddie. Thank you my friend be safe.💕💕💕
One important correction was the age that Liane got married, it was not 10 but 17. It was written so strangely that it confused me- (I wrote a correction during the video at that part)
Wishing you the same, Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Oddie always love your narration of these old stories a pleasure and interesting to listen to thank you ❤
Thank you, my friend, very much appreciated! 😊
That was utterly fantastic. She ended up going back to what she knew.❤
Very glad you enjoyed it!
You’re right, I didn’t think about that - her early years in the convent and her final years also, well not exactly the convent - the CarltonHotel!
Hi Oddie, Always a pleasure. Love your channel and the stories you present to us! Thanks for telling your fans about this lady! Plus in the past I saw a video snippet moving picture scene of Sarah Bernhardt pictured here at 4:25. In the snippet she was dancing with men in costume. It was 1899 or 1900-it was fascinating. Thanks for the upload. 💜💜
I really appreciate that, thank you.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing that.
Age 17, not 10 ... got it. Thank You *Oddie* for that correction
Another great story Oddie. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love it when you walk through the antique stores. So many interesting items.❤
@@angeliqueherygers6083 I have an antique/junk store walk-through in the edit at the moment, but I’m waiting till I have a week’s holiday because I’m hoping to find another one on my travels!
Slowly watching all of your videos!! I enjoy your narration
Very glad you’re enjoying them, thank you so much for your great feedback!
Hi Oddie!🙋♀️ I haven't watched in quite a while. I've been taking care of my family members who have had surgeries and haven't caught up watching. 💖💖💖
I understand, I'm so sorry to hear that, hope they're feeling better soon.
Thanks for sharing very interesting story. 👍👍
Very glad you enjoyed it, thank you Shirley
Oh brilliant, il save this for tonight, love your voice and great videos. ❤
That's very kind of you, thank you for that.
Thanks for all the updates to her story! I’m going to watch this a second time, such a fascinating story! Thank you for a story I would never have heard. 💜
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much 🙏
I laughed with you about the names too, I don't know but a few words in French so I was lost on the names!! Pictures were great, don't understand why women turn to that horrible life. Sad story to know about her life on my birthday. Great job ODDIE with what you could find!!
Very much appreciated, Sandra, thank you so much!
Really enjoyed that , thanks Oddie. 👍
Thank you for watching and listening my friend.
Another great one, never disappointed❤
Happy to hear that! Thank you so much ☺️
The Pictures of Liane de Pougy were lovely. I do hope you will be able to find her grave. Perhaps someday that will be possible. Looking forward to your next post.
I hope so too!
I was just going to ask when you would do another Oddie on the Road video! I love your videos out walking. There was a video where you visited a very rural cemetery, and it was so beautiful! I won't be surprised if I always remember it.
Well, this video is over two years old, and I have done a few walk abouts since then, but strangely enough I just visited another cemetery recently which I would like to film, which I will very soon!
Thank you for your very kind feedback, my friend!
Very interesting.
Glad you think so!
Mr Oddie!
That was a great story, I agree.
Superb narration and the pictures you added were awesome. Thank you!
Thank you kindly!
Nice job Oddie.
Thanks 👍
Thank you so much for all your research - expect you know about her Autobiography - ‘My Blue Notebooks’ or ‘Mes Cahiers Blanc’, passages from Liane’s diaries from 1924-1941. Happily for me, I once lived near a Library that thoughtfully sold off books in all my varying interests and this was one of them. Have a lovely restful time away, both of you 😁
No, I haven’t
This video is over two years old, but there will be more travels! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for sharing wonderful story. Nice to hear you hope you and your family are doing well. Bye bye.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the translation! Enjoyed this story so much, oddie!
My pleasure! Very glad you enjoyed it, Julie 😊
Wow what a life. 10 years old unbelievable.
Hello Oddy, you know that I love all of the stories,but honestly this one so far has been one of my favorite characters. I'm adding her to my bucket list related to going to France where my grandmama came from. Ohh I'm all gitty & a somewhat meh day has become a great day
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊 I'm happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊
Obsolete Oddity, I enjoy your channel. I am into vintage history. Thanks for talking about this lady. I tell you photos like 10:00 & 29:43 and 29:46 among others still have THE POWER to AROUSE!!! I LOVE IT! Thanks so much for the fascinating upload. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊 I'm happy to hear that!
Aloha from Hawaii 🏝️🌋🌈 Mahalo for the most special video. You sound happier✌️
I was! Thank you for watching!
Speaking of translations, TH-cam sometimes decides to translate video titles in Italian (my native language), even though I have my account set on English. It doesn't happen frequently, but when it does it's always amusing: this time it decides to translate "tart with a heart" to the Italian for "pie with a sweet filling"
Ha ha! Love it! 😄
Thank you! Really entertaining
My pleasure! Thank you ☺️
A tart with a heart - love it! ❤
Awesome
Thank you, Anthony!
That was fascinating!
The life she lead was from greed to a philanthropist.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Thank you for this wonderful and interesting episode. I wonder at the power of legendary beauty such as hers, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, and others. I imagine it's as much to do with bearing, and confidence in addition to physical attributes and historical timing. By that I mean, what is admired in one era may be considered unappealing in another. She certainly used her gifts to make the best of a bad situation, didn't she? I can't fault her for that. I wonder where all her fortune - jewels, mansions, money, etc. went, or were they mostly liquidated for her care, and for charity, prior to her death? We'll probably never know.
Very glad you enjoyed it, Julia, thank you so much for your positive feedback.
Yes, I wonder what happened to her fortune? Did she leave it to the convent? - that I don’t know?
Oddie, another fantastic story of someone who came from nothing and lived a life of riches, but at what cost to her psyche? I wonder what/how I would have done in her situation? I appreciate your work but some of those pronunciations were insane!! Have a wonderful day as this made mine! I look forward to your next one!!
I’m very happy you enjoyed it, Mary, thank you so much for your lovely feedback.
Yes, the pronunciations were certainly a task!
But I never give up in the face of adversity 😄
Thank you again and take care.
Correction: I did give up on some of those names ha ha!
Having just found your channel, I am really enjoying these videos and all the work that goes into them. There are a couple of interesting characters that you may like that I know of. One is Eliza Jumel, a socialite from 18th century Manhattan, for whom Gorham named a sterling silver pattern and Texas Guinan, who was famous for several things in the early 1900's.
Welcome! Thank you for watching and listening my friend.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing that. I'll definitely check that out.
I'm guessing that "captain of spearmen" refers to an officer of mounted lancers, a Napoleonic era military unit.
"Ohhhhh noooo. Save me from this" he proclaimed, as he struggles with French pronunciations. 😂 I laughed so much. I am studying French once again and I too would like to be saved.
Lol are you living in a country where French is spoken? If not, it’s going to be even harder, I don’t envy you. 😄
Thanks 🙏🏿👍🏿
I don’t care your French is fine and I enjoy your stories more each time
That's very kind of you, thank you for that.
I have a friend who lives in modern day Grenoble so to here it mentioned in this story is nuts. 😮
Another delicious episode. Oh dear well you will have a wonderful time anyway. What a beautiful woman she was. What has happened to our gene pool....🤔
Very happy you enjoyed it!
Well this video is over two years old, and we did have a lovely time - but thank you anyway!
what a life oddie !!!!!🙂🙂
She was famous with the "Big Casseroles". Interesting turn of phrase there.
Hey Oddie 💚
Ahhhhhh the French accent I love it ❤❤
🤣
Definitely 👍 😂👍👍❣️
IF i didnt know Mr.Oddity that this story was true,i would have to think of it as a romance novel.She used her brains for survival and her good life at the end. It is sad that people shun such a person like her without knowing why she is doing this. She overcame all blocks in her life.I honor her.
It does indeed read like a romance novel.
She most certainly had willpower and drive!
Hello Oddie. I hope you’re doing good. 🥰
You too Amy!
@@ObsoleteOddity I am, thanks. You guys have a safe trip.
Sir oddie i hope your doing well & love to you & yours 🫶🖖💖
Much appreciated, thank you ☺️
I think the other girl you read about had a much more interesting life than Liane who seemed to stay in the same country rising to power though she did have nice buns which cracked me up when you said how much it cost to touch them.. :D
It's very well read, despite some of those bodacious French names! ❤
I really appreciate that, thank you.
Oddie Beau, beautiful and interesting story. For your sake perhaps an English spoken/written presentation. Be kind to yourself 😊 Thank you
Very glad you enjoyed it, Martha-Ann!
Well I always believe one should keep testing ones self, otherwise one would be stuck in a rut!
On a serious note though, I’d like to think my French has improved since this presentation two years ago, although I’m not absolutely sure 😄🤣
"I'm doing penance at the Ritz!"
I could do with a bit of penance myself, I’ll join you for coffee and croissants!
She was certainly very beautiful ❤️
Many of us fall off the path, but the ones that at the core are pretty good, somehow get back on. She was still a princess and a Third Order not a nun but a lay sister; so, a hotel vs a palace was not that bad. All Saints have a past all sinners have a chance, she took it. Good for her.
Well to be correct, she was a princess by marriage not by birth.
But absolutely, she found a worthy cause and showed the real kindness of her soul by helping those less fortunate.
These were girl schools not just damp prisons. Not sure what's worse in people's minds but my great grandma was twelve when she was married off. Also, my grandma, being born in 1904, told me they were never told about all things uterine. She never told my mom, either, who thought she was dying when she came of age. She made darn sure I knew. A third order Dominican is someone who doesn't enter a convent but lives in the world while following a religious rule. There are many people who still do this under various rules.
Convents in early modern Europe (1500-1800) absorbed many unmarried and disabled women as nuns.[1] France deemed convents as an alternative to prisons for unmarried or rebellious women and children.[2] It was also where young girls were educated as they waited to be married.
Conditions in many French convents were quite primitive until the middle of the 20th century.
Imagine going to Sarah Bernhardt for mentorship and getting "well, at least you're pretty" 😬

What is in texss???
Say whaa?
We love a bisexual icon.
🥐🥐🥐
50,000. USA dollars 😮 I don't even think Megan Markle would dare to charge so much...
I must be the only person who thinks this woman is awful 😮 she left her child behind because miney was more important and she comes across as very manipulative since she wpuld take poison when a man was unfaithful but not enough to actually be successful, she sounds like a very dangerous woman imo
Certainly not beautiful.
Happy Sunday oddity ❤
Same to you!
