Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 - April 12, 1975): She was not only an extremely talented singer, dancer, and actress; she also served as a spy for France in WWII. Unable to have children of her own, she adopted 12 children from around the world and lived with them in a castle in France. She was married to men four times and also had several notable female lovers, including French writer Colette as well as Frida Kahlo.

She also used her influence to support the Civil Rights Movement, refusing to perform for segregated audiences and speaking at the 1963 March on Washington with MLK Jr.

Kind of concerned that he is to late in history, but pictures of the young Rudolf Nureyev always get to me (after the sixties his face went kind of, well, weird). Watching him dance in the 1966 production of Romeo and Juliet enraptures me. That bone structure and the way he moved, just wow. No words can do that justice. Add to that the romanticism of the fact that he was born on a moving train, defected from the USSR in 1961, and his very-apparent-but-always-closeted-gayness, and he is a definite historical crush for me. (I don’t know what it is with lesbians crushing on dead gay men, but there you go.)

Ballet dancers are hot, yo.

Why He’s Hot: 

1. He’s a gay man, and he keeps himself groomed and fit in a way that only a gay man can. He’s not the type of gay that borders on being feminine, and you feel like you should take him shopping or something. It’s the “he’s so gorgeous, and I’m bitter that he’s not straight” kind of gay.
2. His singing voice. It sounds like an angel and a rockstar had a baby. He’s even a Broadway vet. What is sexier than a man that can sing well? Answer: Nothing.
3. He’s a doctor. Or at least he used to be a doctor for pretend. He was budding hotnes, even back then, but nobody would’ve predicted how good he’d look shirtless.
4. He’s Barney Motherfucking Stinson. There is a reason why he can get so many one-night stands. Even if he is a womanizer, we’ve all fantasized about getting picked up by Barney at Maclaren’s.
5. Neil Patrick Harris is awesome. Probably the most awesome man to have ever walked the face of the Earth. If you don’t think so, you just don’t know it yet. He does “magic tricks” because he actually has magical powers…he just doesn’t want people to know. Actually, I’m pretty sure that Neil Patrick Harris is God.

I’d read this book. Chances are I wouldn’t just want to stab Daisy, SHE’D DIE.
