CAMILLE DESMOULINS IS 250 TODAY!

I don't actually have anything to commemorate the event, sadly. However I would like to encourage you to spare a thought (and perhaps a few words, if you feel so inspired) for this man who slipped into history - and more than a few peoples' hearts in the past 250 years - against the odds. I could never express how grateful I am for it.

"Am I a real oddment or is this slightly hot?"

I'm really glad someone else finds blinky-Robespierre (for lack of a better idea of what to call him) adorable. I wish I could find that entire movie online somewhere!

Bad me. I have a secret and shameful vice for men with black ribbons in their hair that has no relation to the revolution.

The whole Robespierre one is here:

I can't find a complete Danton one, although as Danton looks like a suckling pig enough to give me nightmares, it might be for the best.

Thank you! I've looked all over and only found clips of that movie.. Haha, I do prefer an ugly Danton to the one in the movie Danton though!

"I have a secret and shameful vice for men with black ribbons in their hair"

lol Nothing shameful about that. I imagine it's probably pretty common...
Actually, there was an incident in which I was watching part of that movie, and when my roommate asked why I was watching something in French rather than working, I turned the screen around (it was the plant-watering scene), and her response was "I understand".
