If I am correct, the more views this blog has, the more it grows in popularity, thus making it more accessible to potential phone sex customers on WordPress. I find it amusing that this blog is linked to from a hen party “Diva” discussion board, which sends several hits per day.
I also find the word “Diva” very amusing. Let’s explore the definition of “Diva”, shall we?

One of my favorite divas of all time is Nancy Argenta — whose vocal talent first became known to me when I developed a deep appreciation for the Baroque composer, Henry Purcell. In the 21st century, Nancy Argenta is practically synomymous with the works of Purcell, and I have little tolerance for any other “diva” who attempts to sing Purcell’s most beloved masterpieces.
A diva must have a powerful voice with a smooth, well-formed vibrato in order for me to deem them worthy of my attention. Sarah Brightman, although unique in her own right, is not one I consider to be a true, hard core, diva soprano. Even though I do enjoy some of Brightman’s music, I can’t help but feel I am listening to a knock-off, hybrid performance. Her voice is soft and pleasing, however, opera is not meant for a sparrow’s warbles.
The word “Diva” has been sexualized and turned into something completely nonsensical and asinine. The word, in all its undefined glory, has been done to death by people who believe they are the great, legendary thespians of the “fine art” that is phone sex, among other ludicrous life and work positions.
Can we please reclaim the word for its appropriate use — and give it back to the real divas, like Nancy Argenta?
Thanks, much appreciated.
