The Marquis’Intimate Diary

WEDNESDAY, 18 OCTOBER, 2000, NEW ORLEANS
ELECTION TIME! The time has come to name the house. AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Help Name Me!
NAME ME!

Melusine and I went trolling about lower garden district bars last night giggling like sneaky, drunken, lascivious teens, writing down our ideas on bar naps for names for our new home. In the spirit of interactivity which simply is the internet, dollink, we ask you to vote for your favourite name.

Here are the contendahs:

  1. Man-da-lay after the tragic house in “Rebecca”, but sexier. (“Last night I dreamt of Man-da-layyy…”)

  2. Manse du Boit, playing off “House of Drink” as well as Blanche Dubois from “Streetcar Named Desire” of course.

  3. Bonhomityville mixing the happy-fun-jolly-olly-olly times of “bonhomie” and the Amityville Horror house with the pie-wedgie attic window.

  4. Château Bimbeaux should require no explanation.

  5. The Overbite Hotel sorta from The Shining.

  6. Château Gateaux or “House o’ Cakes.” (No doubt Badjuju will vote for this one.)

  7. __________ — your own write-in!
C’mon, you. Don’t be shy. Pull the lever. Place your vote.
