This just in...

(Allegedly Billy Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare was hot.

This can also be filed under Beards... Oh My God, Beards.

Here's a fun Shakespeare related story for you... when I was but a girl of 12 years old and in Mr. B's 6th grade class, I starred in an elementary school production of "The Taming of the Shrew".
Guess who played the shrew? Me. And I wore my purple glasses for the part.
We performed the play primarily for our parents after school...
Here's another fun fact about the lowest budgeted, least advertised play in all of Petersham... none of us memorized our lines, save one... a lady. Hey, we were 12. We all read our parts on stage from stapled pieces of paper.
The one person who did memorize her lines was Jenn Riddell, but she should color herself embarrassed because the costume she picked out was more Disney Medieval maiden circa the 15th century with a hennin and a revealing satin blue dress and less 16th Century conservative Italy!! What a fool!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa!!

So to answer your question, if I had to travel back in time and make out with anyone... it would be William Shakespeare.
His masterpieces and genius have spawned great plays and great or not so great interpretations of his work. Not so great - that new Taylor Swift song.
Great? This movie...
