Name the five sexiest world leaders of 1500-1888.

Isabella of Spain, Elizabeth of England...uhhhh...this isn't something I think on very often...

Express yourself. You know you want to.

Not Katherine the Great, I'll tell you that.

Abraham Lincoln was fucking hott!


:rolleyes:

The young Maria Theresia. I remember finding her portrait in a textbook and I actually stopped and just looked at it for a few minutes. I was around 17 then, I think im too old to be allowed to be attracted to that portrait now.

Why does it go to 1888? What made you pick that year? :confused:

Um..I don't know. Hitler was born that year? Jack the Ripper went to town with a tomahawk?

The great cyclone of 1888 hit my town completly destroying it.

Drake seems like he might have cut a bit of a dashing figure. He was a leader in the world of sailing anyways.

Why only 1500? I would have included Ragnar Lundbrek if you'd let me go back to 1000.

Henry VIII was quite dashing.

I think there might be some rule that a woman has to be ugly in order to rule a country. :p

not bad...

Don't know if I got the right time periods but, Lady Godiva, Cleopatra, Marie Antionette, St. Joan of Arc. and that's about it.

In no particular order:

Emperor Meiji
(Young) Napoleon
Prince Albert
Caesare Borgia
Louis XV

not bad...

Thats a later one, the one I found originally as a teen was this one.

actually, i think that's Queen Maria Theresa of the Two Sicilies...but she's a great-granddaughter or something like that of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.

Isabella of Spain, Elizabeth of England...uhhhh...this isn't something I think on very often...Ah yes. Isabella, who was proud of the fact she'd only had two baths in her life, at her birth and at her marraige.
Haven't thought of five, but Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson for a start.

I'd tap that...

I believe when that picture was painted she was under 12. Why don't you go stalk myspace you creep :D


j/k, j/k

Bathing wasn't really big in turn of the century Europe.

well shes 649 now...

maybe close attention should be paid to the people in question we don't want any arrests now do we

I believe when that picture was painted she was under 12.

:eek: Then that painter outright sucks at proportions.

Bathing wasn't really big in turn of the century Europe.Turn of which century?
Anyway, a big reason to be especially choosy when looking for hotties of the past. I always liked Frederick the Great, but his personal hygeine habits seemed to leave something to be desired.

I agree, it is like a pre-requisite of female leaders to be unpleasantly un-attractive.. lol Well, in the past 100-200 years that is.. Don't know what's up with that..

You know what sucks more? I can't think of any world leaders at the moment!! lol

Perhaps it's because they were all inbred...

say what? you stand corrected!

EDIT: That's Elizabeth I in case y'all were wondering. A very rare photo, thanks be to Wikipedia.

Marie-Louise O'Murphy. :p

You are aware of the difference between real life and movies right?

:rolleyes:

You slut.

One word: Washington (http://swirlee.org/2006/07/20/cox-combes-washington/).

I've always had a thing for Josephine...ah... Josephine!!!!

*sadly sits on throne and places emporers crown on head*:(

Are prominent nobles allowed? I'm guessing Elizabeth Báthory doesn't count.

Yeah, but she had no teeth.

Hmm.

Ok, i'd hit it.

No teeth exactly ;)

One word: Washington (http://swirlee.org/2006/07/20/cox-combes-washington/).
WHAT THE HELL?

Uhm, moving on. Josephine was hot. Napoleon, despite being a short and generally anal fellow, had good taste in women.

I'd rather stare at people who are alive, thanks.

"Sexiness" is a useless category as far as the dead go.

There's a diffrence? what would that be?

Proof: the world is going to Hell in a handbasket (did we need any more?).

I think there might be some rule that a woman has to be ugly in order to rule a country. :p

The same applies to men. You'd think with all the kings of that period, at least 1 of them would be semi-good-looking. But noooooooooooo.

delicious pun. was it intended? ^_^

(sorry, i just couldn't resist)

How about a young Napoleon?

Sure was. I didn't think anyone would get it. :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Napoleonbonaparte5.jpg

Hey, young Napoleon stole my hair. Except he has a lot less of it.

So he didn't really steal my hair, I guess.

How about a young Napoleon?

Young Napoleon was okay, though he'd be perfect if he was just a TINY bit taller. :p

Hey, come on, short guys can provide as well. :p

Any guy that hasn't gotten his dick blown off can provide. It's the looks we go for. :p

The leaders of the days of yore are no uglier than today's leaders.

He wasn't that (http://www.napoleon.org/en/essential_napoleon/faq/index.asp#ancre54) short.

Come on, he will rule a country! Even if he is a bit plain and short of stature, being a head of state (and rich of course) has to count for a lot! Doesn't wealth take 10 years off a guy?

He wasn't that (http://www.napoleon.org/en/essential_napoleon/faq/index.asp#ancre54) short.

Afraid I'm not good with metric. What does that turn into, about 5' 7''?

That's not very promising.
He wasn't that (http://www.napoleon.org/en/essential_napoleon/faq/index.asp#ancre54) short.
hmmm...just a bit taller than I am. I can deal with that! *looks for a time machine to go back and seduce young Napoleon*

Hmm...the power to manipulate Western Europe...

Damn you Americans. Abandon your stupid Imperial system already!

1.68600 meters = 66.3779528 inches

*hugs google's ability to quickly and easily answer "1.686 metres in inches"

So he was 5 foot 6ish

Don't know if I got the right time periods but, Lady Godiva, Cleopatra, Marie Antionette, St. Joan of Arc. and that's about it.

I adore cleopatra - she was a genius who spoke 9 languages and nearly turned her country from a vassal state to the most important one in the world. she was, unfortunately, too short, had a large nose, and was not particularly attractive. her legendary beauty is part of a slander campaign started in ancient rome to explain how she did anything. they couldn't admit she was a fantastic leader, so they assumed she seduced roman men, who did everything for her. she was one of the greatest geniuses ever to live, and her "beauty" had nothing to do with her success at all...largely because she wasn't particularly beautiful.

erm...I can't think of a sexy dead person. all the world leaders who come to mind killed people and were horrific snobs...I wouldn't want to be anywhere near any of them.

Come on, if you were married to a guy with power you could get used to the status REAL quick I bet. :)

Nah, I'd probably end up beheaded or burned or something. :p

Pretty much. And i'd figure he shrunk a little after death.

Nah, I'd probably end up beheaded or burned or something. :p

Now what could you possibly do to tick off hubby? :D

Nah, I'd probably end up beheaded or burned or something. :p

Ya win some ya lose some..

I always thought you expand a little after you die, or is that only your small intestine?

guh...feminist rants, freedom rants, environmentalist rants, peace rants, and the all-powerfully destructive: stop leaving the toilet seat up! :p

I supposed. At least I get to lord of Western Europe for a while. :p

Yes, well, I prefer the fight about leaving the cap off the toothpaste. Real irritating. ;)

I don't know. We need a volunteer. Where did Ruffy go?

He'll come back. They all come back...

*sets trap in case he comes to kill him and measure his height*

*sets trap in case he comes to kill him and measure his height*

Careful. Has to be done in a way where we won't lose any part of him. Don't want to throw off the measurement. ;)

Charles II of England
Thomas Jefferson
King Kamehameha
JFK
Willam of Orange

[QUOTE=Ri-an;11931193]Cleopatra/QUOTE]

Not the right era, kiddo. She poisoned herself with twin snakes in 30BC.

How about Joan of Arc? The crazy part of her would sure make life interesting! :)

*lurks*
*steps on trap*
*screams*
*dies*

Well if she's anything like the Joan of Arc in Clone High, then hell yea! :D

WHAT THE HELL?

Washington, Washington, twelve stories high, made of radiation, the present beware, the future beware, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming...

*lurks*
*steps on trap*
*screams*
*dies*

*measures*

wtf? ruffy, you're just faking death. You're still breathing. Your height didn't change at all!

*measures*

wtf? ruffy, you're just faking death. You're still breathing. Your height didn't change at all!

Have to finish him off.

I've heard that a polish sausage with a nail in it is the only sure-fire way to kill him off.

In no particular order:

Emperor Meiji
(Young) Napoleon
Prince Albert
Caesare Borgia
Louis XV
Lulz.:p

Marie Antonette
Isabela of Spain
Mary Queen of Scots
Jane Grey, she was hot
