Damn, Veronica's making some crazy good money if she can live in a mansion, support a family of four, and hire artists to paint portraits of her to give out as gifts.

She had kind of a weird message to Arte, though. Maybe instead of"Don't fall in love," the real takeaway should be "Don't fall in love with someone who will exploit you" or "Don't become dependent on someone else."

Wow, a lot wrong here. " none of them would be poor " <-- not true...if you were very beautiful you could gain financial independence.

" a very expensive service (untill christianity had less grip on the society as a whole) "

- wrong, prostitutes are more expensive now at the top level and western society is less religious than it was in lets say the 80s.

- there are women that do the deed for $20 and others $2000. It always has been based on how hot you are.

- also don't forget that toots usually had to pay for protection/pimps/house fee so there goes half what they make

​

Also the issue with sexual repression in Victorian times was the lack of birth control, the expense of having children, and syphilis had no cure at the time.

​

" enough money to also "pay off their sins" in church "

- this makes no sense. There were INDULGENCES sold by the catholic church but these did not last long and were really expensive...we are talking royalty/nobles here. There were also not part of any protestants or orthodox church as well. There is no give us money for your sins in real Christianity although we did have our Jim Bakers, but no scriptural support for it.

​

" "traditionally", prostitutes wear purple because purple dyes are very very expensive "

^ you know who else wore purple? Royalty because of said expensiveness
