Demimonde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Demimonde (singular: Demimondaine) is a polite 19th century term that was often used the same way we use the term "mistress" today. The terms 'demimonde' and 'demimondaine' do not appear in the work (primarily because it had not been coined at the time of the writing), but the term was coined by reviewers and other authors following the release of the novel in reference to three characters within it. But, Gigi is a misfit in the demimonde of Paris in the 'Gay Nineties', as she desires true romance with Gaston. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Demimonde   (794 words)

Demimonde biography @ Tartareandesire.com Demimonde was founded in 1996 in Prague by 6 young people with ages between 16 and 19 years who were at their first musical experience in the metal scene.

High Definition Dictionary: demimonde The demimonde are a subsector of the proletariat. Any particular woman of the demimonde may be refered to as a demimondaine, which I'm sure you'll agree sounds classier than “whore” or “slut.” Nevertheless, it's not a very nice word to call somebody. Demimonde can also be used in the singular to refer to a demimondaine, but I try not to think about that because I'm afraid my mind will be caught in some kind of infinite loop. www.rox.com /vocab/demimonde   (267 words)

Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / Delving into the world of Parisan courtesans Her ``Grandes Horizontales'' sets out to distinguish fact from fiction in the lives of four stars of the French demimonde, the shadowy terrain between the worlds of the street prostitute and the upper classes. The disdain with which the elite viewed the demimonde perhaps reflected the recognition that their own lifestyles were not far removed from those of society's disreputable elements. Rounding devotes much of her study to exploring the courtesans' day-to-day lives: the intricacies of their relationships with men; their lavish spending and financial travails; the lively salons over which they presided; the sumptuous decor of their apartments. www.boston.com /news/globe/living/articles/2003/09/24/delving_into_the_world_of_parisan_courtesans   (578 words)

BNR Metal Pages -- Demimonde   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Add Demimonde to the list of weirdo Czech bands that emerged around the turn of the millennium, these six teenagers forming in 1996 with the goal of recording truly original music. The band's first recording was 1997's The Warrior's Poets (sometimes referred to as an album, but apparently it's better classified as a demo), and by 2000 they recorded their sole true album, Mutant Star. Apparently they broke up a year or so after Mutant Star's release, and it appears that some members took that album name and ran with it, forming a new band called Mutant Star that explores other (presumably non-metal) arenas. www.bnrmetal.com /groups/demm.htm   (170 words)

Thackeray and Dumas fils Society's hypocrisy is inhibiting, "There are things we do and know perfectly well in Vanity Fair, though we never speak of them" because a "polite society" will not "read an authentic description of vice" (page 759).

Close Call   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Bottom line: "Close Call" achieves realistic flashes of the underage demimonde of drugs and sex. The story begins with the apparent suicide of party girl Jenny (Annie Lee) and then reels back to explain what led her to that point, positing divorce and disconnection from Korean culture as the culprits. "Close Call" achieves realistic flashes of the underage demimonde of drugs and sex, and of the reckless adolescent dynamic of wanting to be both loved and left alone, but mostly the proceedings are implausible. www.hollywoodreporter.com /thr/reviews/review_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000502541   (403 words)
