Hello darlings.

This blog is for every geeky dreamer who ever thought "my kingdom for a time machine" so you could get it on with a guy who is now dead.

Maybe you were in World History and the teacher was showing a filmstrip (shut up, I'm old--and this isn't about me specifically anyway, so shut up again!) but your eyes drifted to a military portrait in the lower right-hand corner of page 572 and you were struck:  that aquiline nose!  Those deep-set brooding eyes!  Those ruddy cheeks!  Those LIPS.  You didn't even realize when your eyes moved down to the crotch of his dress uniform, thinking about how he probably smelled like sweat and wood smoke and despite his hard life, you thought his skin, right there, on his neck, below his ear, was probably soft AND THE LIGHTS WENT BACK UP and the filmstrip clattered to an end and you remembered with a jolt that he died in 1756.  Oh, you're DISGUSTING, a hypothetical you might have told yourself.  He's just a pile of bones!  But as you left class, books clutched to your chest, you harbored a tiny hope that perhaps the 21st century might see real progress in time travel...

Well, honey, it's 2010 and this is the closest thing we've got.  Now you can drool over all those good-looking dead guys in the open without fear of getting detention for not listening to the teacher.  The obvious and not-so-obvious, the well-known and not-so-well-known will be included.  Send your suggestions along with some text and a link to an image (as far back as we have realistic depictions, sickos) to kelliebobellie70 at gmail.com and let's get it on with some dead guys.
