Mmm, Toby Stephens. Where did you go, friend? But when was he ginger?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Random question of the day: anyone else ever developed a crush on a historical figure, or did I go completely over the edge the moment I looked at a portrait of a man 202 years older than me and thought "MROWR!"?
I mean, sure, I have Secret Celebrity Boyfriends, Secret Baseball Boyfriends, Secret Fictional Boyfriends, and Secret Fake News Boyfriends (three at last count, because how am I supposed to choose between Stewart, Colbert, and Oliver?). But a Secret Historical Boyfriend? Who is by definition also a Secret Dead Boyfriend?

I have a little thing for Alexander Hamilton. Also, when I was little (like 7) I had a crush on Eisenhauer based on the coin. My mother still makes fun of me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Where did you go, friend? But when was he ginger?
He is in my head. It may not reflect reality.

Does having a Secret Celebrity Boyfriend, but only as he was long before I was born, count? Because one of my first serious lustings-after was for Burt Lancaster as seen in The Crimson Pirate. What a yummy bare-chested former gymnast he was in that movie!

I've had a crush on Henry Adams for 20 years.

OK, glad I'm not the only one. (My crush is the 1st Duke of Wellington. Which is probably not terribly surprising to anyone who knows me. OK, yes, I find some of his political views obnoxious, but he was all snarky and spicy-brained. And hot!)

Oh, I bet I have, Susan. Not across centuries, probably.
