i'm writing a book about a lady called pearl. she's a french courtesan and she ruins many mens lives. i know that as i am the author i should be able to think of a half decent title but i've drawn a blank. anyone have any ideas? it might be quite fun if you're bored! even if it's just a prompter. think along the lines of pearls, oysters, that kind of thing.

thanks!

The Story of Pearl

pearl's before swine, is that shakespeare? pearl necklace is hilarious but not really the feel i'm going for...

Nacred.

(Nacre - a crystalline substance that creates the iridescent visual effect attributed to pearls).

I can't remember beetle - but with the apostrophe I felt it drew attention to the swineishness of the punters!! (I'm not really bored!!)

Pearls of Wisdom

[beetlebum]

yeah i like it, i wanted something that was a bit more literal. that actually referred to a pearl rather than a prostitute. nice one!

[carrot99]

which?

[beetlebum]

they're all pretty good, just looking into nacre further...

[carrot99]

no - it would be pronounced knackered or naked - which is what poor Pearl would be!!!lol

The Cultured Courtesan

Is your book about Emma Crouch who as Cora Pearl was a famous French Courtesan?

Nacre the Nackered

if you want to read a book about a french courtesan I should recommend Emile Zola's `Nana'.
