Alma Slept With...
A lifetime of screwing brilliant Jewish men. She dumped Klimt for the prominent Austrian Jewish composer Alexander Zemlinsky, whom she subsequently dumped to marry the rather more prominent Austrian Jewish composer Gustav Mahler. Mahler, besotted, dedicated the movements of various symphonies to her; her later control over Mahler’s legacy became so intense and distorting that the term “the Alma Problem” is now a concept in musicology. Alma dumped Mahler in 1910 to marry one of her few non-Jewish lovers, the Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius— an experience that exiled Mahler to Freud’s couch and, five months later, an untimely death. To no one’s surprise, Gropius failed to meet Alma’s standards, and she dumped him for the artist Oskar Kokoschka whom she subsequently dumped because, as she told a friend, “Oskar is not a genius, and I only marry geniuses.” Being no genius, Kokoschka took this even harder than Mahler. He coped by custom-ordering a nude life-size Alma mannequin, accurate down to the breasts and genitals, which he dressed in haute couture and lived with for over a year, dining with it in restaurants and sitting beside it at the opera. He then threw a party during which he and his friends smashed wine bottles over the mannequin’s head until it was destroyed. Alma, meanwhile, had already moved on to genius husband number three, Franz Werfel— Dara Horn. "People Love Dead Jews" Gustav Klimt, Gustav Mahler, Walter Gropius, Oskar Kokoschka, Franz Werfel. Most of these names should be familiar to you -- some of the greatest musicians, painters, architects in the world. She slept with all of them, married a few of them. Wow. I believe Alma was a genius because so many geniuses were besotted with her. Hebrew has a wonderful, untranslatable, word, "Le Havdil." To differentiate, by way of comparing and contrasting. Le-Hav-Dil -- to my ear -- has the sound of splitting apart Happy Mother's day to the guy who cheated On the mother of his first three children With the mother of his fourth child and cheated on her with the mother of his fifth child And cheated on her with a porn actress Guess Who? Donald Trump, that's who Alma slept with, and married, geniuses. Trump slept with pretty blond women, while still being married to pretty blond women. "Wikipedia: Alma Mahler-Werfel (born Alma Margaretha Maria Schindler; 31 August 1879 – 11 December 1964) was an Austrian composer, author, editor, and socialite. Musically active from her early years, she was the composer of nearly fifty songs for voice and piano, and works in other genres as well. 17 songs are known to have survived. At 15, she was mentored by Max Burckhard."
