Sweetie Darling, Darling, Sweetie

Andrea and I, Lavinia Mangano, are employed by Those Who Must Not Be Named (up in the sky) and we work in harmony at The Satyricon Diner in London. We have decided to record our impressions of this curious and always surreal eatery in a series of bawdy episodes set during the Wet & Dry Dynasties of The Directress Giovanna. A cast of many characters will drift throughout our tales, some will stay, others will run for the hills in the manner of a Felliniesque Farce or be sent away in Disgrace, but rest assured, it will never be dull.

Our Beloved Lourdes and the Easter Miracle at The Satyricon




Easter began with a miracle for us in the first year of our Directress Giovanna's reign (Blessed may she be to all the Saints) at The Satyricon Diner in London. 

Our esteemed friend and colleague Lourdes discovered that she was with child, conceived during the Holy week of Christmas under forgotten circumstances. The Holy Spirit had clearly entered her womb during a evening of alcoholic excess and mystery. We were on hand as the drama unfolded over the months preceding Easter as Lourdes experiencing many symptoms of IBS, violent outbursts and a bloated belly. Never once did we expect that a child of God was growing inside her as we discussed various symptoms over coffee and spirits on table 34 (the much disputed high table next to the dumpstation, the dustbin and the coffee machine and the scene of many a debauched scenario ) as Lourdes swore to us of her purity over the last two years. So we scratched our heads and then on a Saturday afternoon the blow fell upon Lourdes. . .
