Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Romantic poet of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, wrote some pretty awesome poems about lesbian vampires and the "stately pleasure-dome" (sounds hot!) of Xanadu. Some sexy facts: Coleridge was totally addicted to opium. He had a weird love / triangulated desire /menage a trois setup with William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy, saying things like, "Tho we were three persons, it was but one soul" (sounds hot!). For his makeover, I thought I'd evoke a thin, waifish, but still sexy heroin addict. Also, I always thought "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" could have been a lot sexier without the ugly, boring old Albatross. A peacock is much prettier, don't you think? And it contains a dirty word!

That's so hot! I'm printing this out as a bookmark to use whenever I'm reading Christabel (which, is like, all the time!).
Seriously, Literary Makeovers, you guys should get into the bookmark business. I'll help you market them up in here in the north-mid-east/west (er, whatever Ohio is).
Maybe Meghan could also market the Ben Jonson figurines inspired by LOL Manuscripts! and Doug could add bookmark laws to his Ben Jonson figurine laws.
You two are perfect for each other.
I'm a tiny bit bored at work. Can you tell?
