WHEN would you have liked to live?

[McKenna]

I've seen threads the past few weeks about where you would like to live, but I want to know when you would like to live. Dissatisfied with the 21st century? Tell me the time period in which you wish you would have been born.

1830.

Put me in Detroit in 1848.

I have my reasons.

Having considered this question before I think the obvious answer for many would be the time of Jesus.


jetsons would be cool too though

What? I'm fucking adorable, you cunt!

And you should listen to the full ten minutes of Storm, it's wonderful.

My grandmother once told me I was born 25 years too late. I can't argue that she was wrong.

Really? Jesus? Ever read, "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal?" LOVE that book. Great read.

Shush. I'm 5:26 into it and still going.

Oh? Do tell!

Yeah, I'd have to say now. I love the twentieth century. I love everything about it, from the movies, to the clothes, to the slang words. I love how America had distinct enemies back then, and how information was conveyed. What I love most about the twentieth century, though, is that it's in the past. I love how I can read about it on an internet blog written by a black man that married a white man, and I also love that I don't have to worry about some crackpots with launch codes deciding that the world doesn't have to exist anymore. I was born in the "American Century", and that's enough for me.

that was fun.

I was quite the fisherman (commercial gillnetter) as a young man. And I tromped about the woods a lot. Plus, I was just fine on my own, building stuff, and getting stuff done.

My roots are somewhat tangled.

Before 1850 women and slaves and children were mere hash marks, if that.

Metis women were below garbage. Squaws. Modern day cum dumpsters.

I need to know a particular person. I want to feel her pain. More importantly, I want to learn her given name.

Interesting. With that coonskin cap and flannel sleep-shirt, I thought maybe 1850.

Kewl. I can see you doing that stuff, yes.

Treat yourself. I laughed so hard ... but also, just a plain, good read. Jesus as human. Neatness.

Poignant. Very much so.

I learned to patch gear when I was 11. My grandpa told my mom I could find work in any fishing seaport in the world. She was unimpressed.

You'd think so, but no. That's more of a Victorian sleepwear fetish.

As for women's clothes, it doesn't get any better than the mid to late sixties. I'm not one of those gross foot fetishists, but these are so hot. I'd take a miniskirt over a ball gown any day.

Ball gown, shmall gown.

Corsets are where it's at!

I've never seen the appeal.

Whale bone.......

Whale bone.......

I am fascinated with corsets. I had a custom-made one, once.

I want to live in the future in Tanith Lee's novel Biting the Sun. You can have your body redesigned into whatever you want, you can have your dreams turned into personalized virtual reality games, capitalism has been exterminated, and everyone is healthy, equal, and has lots of leisure time and access to toys, furniture, everything needed for a fun and comfortable life.

They are fantastic pieces of apparel.

1908 the Dakatas homesteading by myself at 16 as my grandmother did. They were states by then although it didn't mean much. If only she had known how to write then. ..

Good idea for a thread. I've thought about it many times, and there are too many choices... each one has its obvious drawbacks. The height of the Roman Empire greatly appeals to me. Of course, only if I were one of the wealthy. I guess that applies to every era. The opulence and the totally hedonistic lifestyle.

Also, somewhere like Vienna in the late 1800s... ugh. But if I were going for some time when I could be (relatively) less repressed as a woman, i'd love to live in the 20s.
