Reminds me of Rachel!

“I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.”

― Lana Del Rey

Thursday’s Foxy Doxy: Anne Bonny and Mary Read

This week is special because I have not one foxy lady, but two! Anne Bonny and Mary Read were Caribbean pirates in the early 18th century, the infamous lesbian lovers who dressed and caroused like men, and all around bad girls.

Anne was born...

Anne Bonny (female pirate) to the Imprisoned Jack Rackham (pirate and former lover):

Bonny’s last words to her former lover, Calico Jack Rackham, upon his imprisonment and soon-to-be-hanging were “if you had fought like a Man, you need not have been hang’d like a Dog.”

Get it, Sybil Ludington

Sybil is not very well known and it’s a crying shame. The 16-year old was personally thanked by George Washington for her heroic feat, riding twice the distance of Paul Revere and warning the militia and rebellion sympathizers of the sacking of Danbury, CT. But thanks to Longfellow’s severely historically inaccurate poem, more people remember Revere’s ride than hers. *sighs*

By the way? Revere got captured by the British after his stint and had a ton of other riders out on the roads with him/to switch off with. Sybil Ludington was by herself, in the rain, and she beat highwaymen trying to stop her doing her duty WITH A STICK, still managing to get the job done and home safe. Thanks, Syb. You were one badass lady!

Unusual memento mori pendant for lives lost at sea - a watercolor miniature on parchment, under crystal and set to a gold pendant, circa 1720. The miniature is of Stella Maris, protectress of mariners and seafarers. She is portrayed in her lapis blue robe covered in golden stars and wearing a golden starburst crown. The skull, urn and crucifix in the scene symbolize souls lost at sea.
