Arrrghh, I am seriously in pain, plastering the dining room followed by 7 hours of burlesque rehearsals has killed my back, need a serious massage
Did you say... burlesque???
I always loved the HBO series "Rome". The costumes and the sets really brought to life what that era was about. The power grabs from the men (and women), the sensuality, the physicality were all very raw. Of course the wine and orgies were a strong part of the culture. Cleopatra's emergence and death. I would have loved to be apart of that life.
Yay, another "Rome" fan! That series was amazing. I know they had reasons to keep it to two seasons, but I was disappointed all the same. I'll probably be rewatching the show soon, actually. (I live with a Classicist. "Rome" marathons are at least a yearly occurrence, if not more.)
Hi Diz
For me it would be the film version of Casanova starring David tenant, the costumes, the color, the excitement, also the film version of Marie Antoinette, for many of the same reasons.
With my love of dance I have to say though Moulin Rouge comes top, I could grow old disgracefully in a place like that, and oh that tango...

I don't think I've seen the David Tenant version of Casanova. I loved the Heath Ledger film, though. It was such a nice twist on the story.
For me, at this point in time, I think I'd go with either "Firefly" or "Babylon 5", mostly 'cause I feel like getting my geek on. Firefly is just such a cool setting, and B5 included so many levels of political intrigue for me. Just... yeah. Geek!
It's someone else's turn to come up with a random question, I think. I want to see this place hopping again.
