Exceptional Story for October: The Unwellness Salon

"Oh, let me look at you, let me look, my poor darling. Yes, it's just as I thought! You have the Lily-Tongue Sweats. Fascinating. Beautiful! Now, stick out your tongue."

The Curious Socialite is hosting a salon, and only Londoners with 'fashionable' maladies are invited. Are you coming down with something? Do your symptoms inspire envy? Investigate a burgeoning aesthetic movement that treats illness as art, help catalogue Neathy Diseases, and learn just how far some people will go for the sake of a radiant complexion.
