To want all men

To dress in historical costume. Grin Preferably Tudor/Stuart

Case in point - Rupert Graves. Inspector Lestrade - not attractive. Jolyon Forsyte - more attractive. Duke of Buckingham - would climb him like a tree.

See, it's proven.

Agreed! Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean- NO. Rowan Atkinson in series 2 of Blackadder- don't mind if I do!

I like argumentative threads, isn't that what AIBU is about? What has happened here? I avoid AIBU because I thought it was a a scarey place

I'm really sorry - have I done the wrong thing?

I thought light-hearted posts were ok.

Is there someway to get the thread moved?

oh yes i like that too ;)

courgetteDOTcom · 20/06/2013 14:43

See, that's why I had a medieval wedding! I'd have my husband in his wedding outfit all the time if I could!

ThinkAboutItTomorrow · 20/06/2013 14:46

Is this a thread about cod pieces? It is, isn't it?

Hmmm Borgias tends to go more down the smelly end of the 15th century.... Put me off a bit.

But as a general rule oh yes.

complexnumber · 20/06/2013 14:48

I'm not sure that I can go that far back.

Would you be happy if all I could manage was the 70's? I think I manage that on a fairly regular basis. (I feel naked without some flares)

LadyBryan · 20/06/2013 14:50

Cod pieces a touch early for me - much prefer a good doublet and hose.

Although apparently he's going to be in The White Quen..... #setsSkyplus

I found the White Queen VERY distracting. Max Irons..in this century or any other..yes please!

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 20/06/2013 14:53

This is true! After all, didn't Jane Austen say, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good historical costume will never be in want of a wife."?

redexpat · 20/06/2013 14:54

I thought from the title that you just wanted all the men in the world to yourself Grin

LadyBryan · 20/06/2013 15:00

saskia yes, YES!

redexpat - lord no, haven't the time or the inclination Wink

I apparently am utterly wrong.

I allowed husband to re-watch Sherlock last night. Rupert Graves is hot in anything.

Who knew?

I like a bit of Rupert Graves tooSmile I want all men ... to wear hats - proper hats - not beanies or caps. But 1930/40s type hats or fishermen caps. I would also like them all to wear proper coats in the winter. I have a thing for coats Blush

craftycottontail · 21/06/2013 10:25

YANBU

But 17th-18th century preferably, eg Toby Stephens as Bond villan NO, Toby Stephens as Mr Rochester yes yes yes!

craftycottontail · 21/06/2013 10:26

*18th-19th
