A random Marlowe thought

[a_t_rain]

Does anybody else think Edward II would have turned out a lot better if they'd had Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in the fourteenth century? Edward and Gaveston and Spencer, Junior could have gotten together and shown Mortimer how to wear a short Italian hooded cloak and a Tuscan cap properly, so that he wouldn't have to be embarrassed at court and could stop fomenting rebellions, and once the fleering Scots saw that you could ride to battle in a spangled crest and still kick arse, they'd start sending their sons to the English court so they could learn how.

... All right, maybe not. Never mind.

Hey, Isabella gets a lover with a whole new wardrobe. Everybody wins.

"Now, the kilt was only for day-to-day wear. In battle we donned a full-length ballgown with sequins! The idea was to blind our opponents with luxury!"

In other words: you totally rock. And someone should write that. And I should stop slacking off at work. ;)

Someone should definitely write that. Preferably someone who isn't me. :: bats eyes at lareinenoire ::
