Josie Arlington’s Storyville: The Life and Times of a New Orleans Madam A Palatial Rose in a Garden of Vice At a time when women were denied opportunity, the lavish parlors of Storyville offered advancement for women who welcomed the vice. Mary Deubler, the Storyville madam who called herself Josie Arlington, more than welcomed carnal enterprise. A turbulent childhood forced her into a life of prostitution at an early age, but fueled by ambition, she opened a brothel that soon developed a dangerous reputation in a city famous for competitive iniquity. Devastating circumstances spun her to a new path lined with luxury. Her palace, the brothel she named the Arlington, cemented her legacy. A palatial establishment filled with exotic girls that added a rare air of refinement to its proffered debauchery, it allowed Josie to become something even rarer for her time—a self-made women of vast wealth and influence. Author Marita Woywod Crandle charts Josie’s rise while painting a vivid picture of New Orleans’ red-light district. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029008543-F6T574E9FTABANYFC4VN/Marita+josie.jpg Josie Arlington's Storyville https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/parisofthesouth daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/relentless-1 daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/secret-letter daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011457-B5MH9RWQTOW0C0VP7IEN/attic+picture+dormer+inside.jpg The Convent Attic - The Convent Attic Blessed steel nails sunk into Convent sacred wood Light slivers gleam in where the vampires brood Impetuous vampire’s concentration fixed Nails push out one by one lives hang intermixed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011460-O2OAX2MU1J9WIKETUAAU/Attic+out+side.jpg The Convent Attic Catalogue V #001 “Nightly, groups of tourists stand in the dark, across from the Old Ursuline Convent at 1100 Chartres Street, engaged in the legend of French vampire maidens held captive for close to three centuries in the third-floor attic. The third-floor dormer windows hold the fascination for this mystery, as their shutters remain tightly sealed. A unique circumstance, as no other top-floor shutters in the French Quarter can be found closed. Given that heat rises, in a city with intense humid temperatures, sealed windows would create an impossible situation for any source of comfort. A convent, ingenues from France and casket-shaped trousseaus stored in the mysterious attic become the ingredients of a vampire legend with a romantic twist.” Marita Woywod Crandle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011463-KQB7DJMGADTZXO7V4YE6/attic+picture+books.jpg The Convent Attic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011467-PAUU3VJFLQ3DZUZPAMTU/attic+picture+garden.jpg The Convent Attic Catalogue V #003 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011471-7F4GB54DHR9T58772TS4/attic+picture+pews.jpg The Convent Attic Catalogue V #004 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011474-U98SWTORI6K8EDM34RK5/attic+picture+floor.jpg The Convent Attic Catalogue V #009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011478-30LT96DTD45H8WIZ12VD/attic+picture+dormer+inside.jpg The Convent Attic Catalogue V #013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029011482-DBO39JSA36T980SGAX7M/attic+chains+light.jpg The Convent Attic Catalogue V #021 https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/about daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57c71bf09de4bb8daeadcbb3/1474057359310-MIYBU29KCPYQVNM8QBPH/test-2.png Bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014039-NFECSVV0PSARST1D3V5O/Marita-Crandle-atuthor.jpg Bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014042-H4DEU7SKOLZ3POOPYPN7/marita+book+signing+beverly+hills.jpg Bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014046-CKBMREXRFSB27X986Q7V/book+signing+a.jpg Bio https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/st-germain daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014914-VQD8UMZWJY4N90OXJ13R/le-Comte-de-Saint-Germain8.jpg St. Germain - A Letter from Horace Walpole, the fourth Earl of Oxford regarding Comte St. Germain An odd man, who goes by the name of Comte St. Germain. He had been here these two years, and will not tell who he is, oor whence, but profesces that he does not go by his right name. He signs, plays on the violin wonderfully composes, is mad, and not very sensible. He is called an Italian, a Spaniard, a Pole; a somebody that married a great fortune in Mexico, and ran away with her jewels to Constantinople, a priest, a fiddler, a vast nobleman. The price of Wales has had unsatiated curiosity about him, but in vain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014917-YDIYNQHL04WZ3DGXF6JY/Music+page+by+St.jpg St. Germain Mural of music book open to the Aria Per Pieta’ bel idol mio, (Beautiful idol of mine, have pity on me) photograph by David Wrightson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014920-I51TLKSSCKRJJJCNX6W3/dedication+to+St.+Germain.png St. Germain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029014923-N3GJHH41EEEQBAPRRSJB/music+page+enlarged+nicely.png St. Germain https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/home daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029016841-PE5887WN5STFUVDG7UQS/marita+black+and+white.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029016848-ZAACA2Z5HPRT1SIM7IHF/4AA609CF-8387-410A-B1B2-FA2F1CE83528.jpeg Home https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/johnny-whites-sports-bar daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029017773-DDG0OPFSKU9WPAEPZ8R1/marita+with+Turbo.jpg Johnny White's Sports Bar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029017785-VEPOGCFF3N9G8C55VF77/book+signing.jpg Johnny White's Sports Bar - Johnny White’s Sports Bar - The Tiny Joint that Never Closed - Until it did This book also published by History Press, is a look inside the life of a French Quarter bartender. Johnny White’s Sports Bar was a French Quarter institution. Often called “the locals’ living room,” Johnny White’s was the only twenty-four-hour bar on Bourbon Street and attracted a colorful cast of regulars, local characters and tourists looking for a good time. Memorable French Quarter personalities like Ruthie the Duck Girl and Perri the Hobo frequented the bar in their rounds. During Hurricane Katrina, the bar remained a refuge to those who’d stayed in the city, despite authorities ordering the bar to close at gunpoint. When the bar’s lease was finally up in 2012, patrons mourned its loss with a full jazz funeral procession. Marita Woywod Crandle offers an insider’s look at the gritty, unique and often hilarious world of this beloved and much missed French Quarter icon. Marita tended bar and managed this quirky little bar for over eleven years, gathering stories and anecdotes along the way. The bar was an important part of both the lives of so many locals and tourists, and it was also an important chapter in New Orleans' history. The only bar open during the storm and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, even CNN reporters found refuge in the welcoming walls of Johnny White's. The book is a love letter from the bar, capturing the flavor of French Quarter culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029017790-FP1ZJVLZUQXASF5RFE69/marita+with+Turbo.jpg Johnny White's Sports Bar Turbo Dog - A J.W.’s Regular https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/toyestory daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/voodoo daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029018738-D2DZQJ20CY7GVU6E2G8Y/art+for+website.png Marie Laveau/Voodoo https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/research daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029021657-DW6I895CVZ5LD3ZXHY5N/attic+picture+dormer+inside.jpg Research - Research Learn how to ask the right questions When you think you’ve discovered everything possible about your topic, look deeper - That's when you discover the juicy stuff Don’t be afraid to reach out to people that seem out of reach Tackle your research from more than one direction Don’t be quick to believe everything you hear, read, or see https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/mosquito-southern-vampires daily 0.75 2025-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029022436-731CXH0H98IFWOT59E9Y/marita+black+and+white.jpg Mosquito - Southern Vampires https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029022447-VIY3RRCQ5RHXI7CFWE6Q/IMG_7224.jpeg Mosquito - Southern Vampires - Mosquito - Southern Vampires Buy a copy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029022451-J853VGOKU168A750V3CB/IMG_5820.jpeg Mosquito - Southern Vampires https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/new-orleans-vampires daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029024118-WI3QF6UPQVVM1D707XFZ/marita+black+and+white.jpg New Orleans Vampires https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029024125-46V8Z3X18CB1X97FTK2N/marita+book.jpeg New Orleans Vampires - New Orleans Vampires - History and Legend Buy a copy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/1725029024129-NHFGQLM40JOPYS9SR43V/the+carter+brothers+a.jpg New Orleans Vampires https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/new-page daily 0.75 2025-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/24f17261-09bb-4152-b41e-f28f5da86a32/IMG_7526.jpeg Life's Magic https://www.maritawoywodcrandle.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d1da8e3bff2874b0ce2bc7/eee23345-d464-4c07-9ad8-a737a61f9bae/BOOK+2+Cover+-+Teaser.jpeg Mosquito Part II - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
