Yeah, but is he hot?
I'm just this shallow. I've been picking up and watching the History Channel with more fervor lately since mind-numbing network TV is starting in reruns and I was excited to find a two-evening biography of the Russian Czars earlier this week. Fascinated and knowing next to nothing about early Russian history, I absorbed it all like butter on a muffin. Of course the best part got to the Romanov's which I've been distantly fascinated by. It's always been perplexing as to the exact reason why I've had such an interest but I've always chalked it up to the whole royal family thing and Rasputin and the downfall and execution with the resurfacing of Anastasia. It was like a great novel. But then, watching the biography and looking at all the pictures and film-clips, I finally landed on the real reason I like Nicholas Romanov: he's a totally hottie. That beard totally made me embarrassed in my pants, if you know what I mean. Never mind his dismantling of the Russian autocracy or all the murders and whatnot he probably committed in the name of the Holy Mother Russian, he's like the poster boy for Hot Bears In History. Grrr...woof. That's why I'm just that shallow.
Wow..... I get all embarrassed in my pants when the market goes up. (No pun intended!)
FINALLY! When I was sixteen I once lamented at how George V, King of England and cousin to Nicolas II seemed to have lost out in the family looks department to Tsar Nic. Course, I was at an all boy boarding school, so all I got was the "Mmm, you do need help" look. Numerous mental scars summarily healed.
So dear, when is Jeff going to grow a beard to satisfy all of your lurid fantasies?
