episode 6: Whip It! - Lola Montez 1867
Whip It! - Lola Montez
It's 1847 and Europe’s most exciting woman has just seduced a king and started a revolution. How did a whip-wielding exotic dancer become a controversial star on the London stage?
Why did she pretend to be Spanish?
And what happened when she took her scandalous act out on tour?
It’s a literally bodice-ripping story of, high maintenance, hubris and horsewhips.
All in episode 6 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
