Your Hot 18th c. Boy of the Day

I claimed I’d be posting these here regularly, clearly I lied (or maybe just got distracted).  But I’ve got a hot folder labeled “boys” burning a hole in my hard drive, so let’s get back to it!

  1. Oh look at that gorgeous embroidery!! I’m dying!

    I have a folder labeled ‘Boys’ too, but it’s filled with pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch and lanky redheaded models.

  2. I would love to see a live version of this. The clothes are sumptuous. Judging from the hairline, I think the gentleman may have his own hair powdered and styled. Altogether a great look.
