Fashion has always served a human function, especially during the
Regency when men bought their wives (and mistresses), and women
offered themselves, as they bought their husband (and lovers).
Song:
"The Garden Where The Praties Grow", by Johnny Patterson:
Have you ever been in love my boys
Or have you felt the pain?
I'd sooner be in jail myself
Than be in love again
For the girl I loved was beautiful
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
