Hot Dog! Thanks for the information, Eve. Hot Dog! Paris, here I come.
*(practicing)
Bonjour, madame. Avez-vous des legumes? Ah, non.
Moi, j’aime beaucoup le bouillabaise. Et vous?
Je ne vais pas dormir les ouefs vertes ou le jambe.*
She’ll melt. 
Oh, just though of another one! Titus, Emperor of Rome, son and successor of Vespasian. A great warrior, a great leader, a great lover – Titus was a great many things, to be honest 
And Sulla. Forget the too perfect Caesar, Sulla from McCullough’s “Masters of Rome” was an ingenious, brutal, psychopathic with the face of an angel. I will never understand why Aurelia turned him down…sigh
But my original statement still stands. I love you John, even if you are my 2oth great-grandfather. Come over some time and carry me away, will you?
Now that I think of it, John, your brother from “A Knight’s Tale” was pretty yummy too. But somehow I doubt the real Edward the Black Prince had such great teeth in real life!
Walt Whitman.
Ok, he’s gay (although he could by bi - or maybe just pansexual, and anyway for the purposes of historical fantasy I would be willing to be a boy), and not gorgeous like the guy who posed for “David”, but if what he wrote is anything to judge by (is it, do you think?) he would be a great lay. I am mad for him to be in contact with me.
Oh, Kricket, no! As much as I appreciate what he’s done for perverts everywhere, I suspect sex with the actual DeSade would be pretty depressing.
Now if there were a real Sir Stephen…
Sir Stephen and Whitman, now you know how twisted I really am.
Betenoir, you must now fill me in on this Sir Stephen. Or would I be giving sadist everywhere a bad name by not knowing?
But, the thought of being whipped to orgasm by such an authoritive person…
I know he went too far with it. Orgasm until death, but a few minutes would be delightful.
Benjamin Franklin–intelligent, witty, charming. Cute as a button.
I worship Ben Franklin.
Yes, Sulla was something else entirely. Which is why I’d still rather have Caesar! 
My goodness. If you haven’t read “The Story of O” let me be the first to recomend it. You’re in for a treat.
If I had to pick anybody to whip me to orgasm it would be him.
Wild Nights-Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile- the Winds-
To a Heart in port-
Done with the Compass-
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden-
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor- Tonight-
In Thee!
Ah, Emily Dickinson…
When I was seven I had a crush on Napoleon Bonaparte.
Montfort, yeah, I’m sure you’re a little biased. So am I, because I enjoy reading about the Wars of the Roses Period just a bit more than all the others. I liked all of Penman’s works, though.
Not a crush, but the character I most sympathized/empathized with was John Neville, Marquis of Montagu. To be hopelessly caught in a tangle of loyalties, torn between love for a brother and loyalty to a cousin…to die fighting wearing the colors of your adversary (because your heart was really in his corner). What a tortured soul. May he rest in peace.
Olga? Give me Marie, Tatiana or Anastasia any day! Not that there was anything wrong with Olga, but I found her to be the least charismatic (in terms of character, not so much looks) of the four.
Probably not much else. Then again, according to some, there wasn’t much else a GUY could ask for, either–Caesar was known as “every woman’s man, and every man’s woman”.
Hey! Dem’s fightin’ words!!!
Actually, Olga was very serious, but she was also very shy until she got to know someone-she had a very good sense of humor and was known to be the most charming of her sisters.
She was very kind hearted, spontaneous, but had a quick temper-but she never held a grudge. She also was very passionate and loyal, and had a mind of her own.
Very independent.
-very much like me.
When I was young (still in grammar school) I found myself intensely attracted to a picture in my history textbook of Alexander the Great. The picture was of some ancient vase or mosaic that depicted Alexander riding into battle on horseback. I kept turning back to it and would look at it all through history class. Something about those huge chestnut-brown eyes, the sideburns and wild hair, his golden complexion, not to mention the armor…
You be the judge:

Known to whom? Methinks Caesar has been much maligned through history. And even if it WERE true - who cares?
>>>Known to whom?<<<
Why, his contemporary, the elder Curio, in fact. Check the link below for more information on Caesar’s affairs – most notably that with Nicomedes, King of Bithynia. But if you really want to discuss this topic, it might be preferable to go to the “Richard the Lion Heart gay?” thread, where we already have a dialogue going on about this very matter.

I – am not even going to touch this one. Just visit the link below for more information.
