MARECHESA LUISA CASATI by Eva Meinhof
Marchesa Luisa Casati had nude male servants gilded with gold.Wax mannequins sat lifeless at her dinner table. She wore life snakes as jewllery and was infamous for her late night walks, during she would walk cheetahs on diamond studded leashes, while completley naked beneath her furs.
When both her wealthy parents died, Luisa 15 and her sister were suddenly the wealthiest women in Italy. Luisa's natural propensity for the arts and fascination surrounding herself with beautiful unusual things became a major part of her personality. she regulary shocked the aristocracy with her bizarre garb, enthrallment with the macabre.
She held black masses and masquerede balls with equal excitement. She had incredible love affairs with men and women alike. It is said that she wants wore a freshly chicken as a stole; and on a seperate occasion she had a driver kill a chicken and had the blood poured down her long white arms so it dried in a pattern which pleased her.
