I got Frida Kahlo too. I think there were about six people of each gender here.

In reality, I think Audrey Hepburn would have had a hard time resisting my charms. :rolleyes:

Lucrezia Borgia, Frida Kahlo, and Evita Perón. :dubious: Come on, is world domination really that bad from a companionship perspective?

James Baldwin, Billy the Kid and Poncho Villa baby!  
I went with James, I likes them taller bitter ones.

_Exactly_ the ones I got. I hooked up with Eva; she’s _got_ to be more fun than the other two.

I got Frida, Agatha and Mata.

Agatha:  
The celebrity I resemble most…  
Jessica Tandy after a stiff scotch and seltzer or maybe Minnie Pearl, but with better taste in hats. 😃

Mata:  
The celebrity I resemble most…  
Half Paris Hilton, half Catherine Zeta Jones.

Think I’ll have to go with Mata!

I got James Baldwin, Pancho Villa, and Socrates. Tough decision, but I went with Pancho. Now if you’ll excuse me, we’re going to go paint the town red

… then pillage it and burn it down! Yay!

</div>

Pancho Villa has asked me to come along to burn down a village…wonder if he knows I am Gay - oh well, he seems nice, writes good emails, so how bad can this internet dating thing be? What’s the worst that could happen…we go out and if we don’t click, I ride my horse home.

What the hell? He just asked ME out!

I knew it. You can’t trust a bandit online.

I got Poe, da Vinci, and Baldwin…

Poe accepted me, but I decided I’d rather have da Vinci, and he took me up on it too. Woohoo!

I’m gonna be like **Eve** on this one. It was intended that Natalie Wood be mine, and I ain’t askin’ no computer about it!

</div>

Leonardo Da Vinci, Edgar Allen Poe, James Baldwin.  
Since I’m a straight female, I’m thinking me and Mr Baldwin would be “just good friends.”  
Da Vinci wanted to paint me, but did not want to date me.  
Poe wants me. For a dead guy, he sure gets around, doesn’t he? 😕

I went with Joan of Arc…mainly because I feel a near supernatural draw to women in armour… 😃

PT Barnum it is!!! I think I’d choose him over Edgar Allen Poe and Socrates (my alternates) any day!

Can’t agure with that, but still, I’ll wager you never get past second base.

I don’t know about that; I hear she’s a real hot date.

What the hey, feeling adventurous.

Males:  
Poe, Van Gogh, and James Baldwin.

Poe and I went on a date…in a graveyard. o.O

Female:  
Lucrezia Borgia, Frida Kahlo, and Agatha Christie

Agatha and I had an interesting dinner in which we discussed ingenious ways to get rid of a body. O.o

Conclusions:  
I am disturbingly morbid. Or really, really socially awkward. (I’m hoping the latter.)

</div>

Agatha Christie  
Queen Victoria (!)  
Lucretia Borgia

My wife wouldn’t let me go on a date with any of them, but Vickie amuses _me_ at least.

I was offered a selection of Frida, Annie, and Mata-Hari.

I’m not sure I really want to go with someone who claims to be even half Paris Hilton, so Annie it is.

Leonardo da Vinci, James Baldwin, and I forget the last one.

I’m going with da Vinci.

Pancho Villa, Genghis Khan, and Billy the Kid!

Pancho Villa didn’t like me, but Khan accepted my yaks and my eternal fealty! Woo-hoo!
