500 years of beautiful women

I'm going to set up a pay site devoted to work evasion, I'm that good at it.
But this one is good. thank you to Larissa Meek for finding it, & for writing such a good article on web design style.
The video is a rhapsody to beauty. Whatever your politics (& think of myself as pretty EO), there is nothing like seeing a beautiful image of grace, & here's 500 years worth in 3 minutes.

I'm intrigued by how much emotion is shown on an apparently "still" face.

I remember the author guy now - it's Bill Bryson. He's gonna wonder how he got under a heading like that.

I'll never forget whatsisname...

It's happened, again. Someone's name has completely escaped me. I'm happily filling in the extensive profile form nice Mr Blogger's given me, so you will know exactly what sort of person I am (if you work it out, you'll let me know won't you). Favourite books... that's easy, anything by... oh that American guy, lived in England, travel writer, pissingly funny... This name amnesia just stops me in my tracks sometimes. It happens when I meet people; it occasionally happens in the middle of a conversation with them. Is there a cure for it, or is it going to get worse?

It still hasn't come to me dammit.
