Do you know about My Daguerreotype Boyfriend?

Well, hands off! He’s MY DAGUERREOTYPE BOYFRIEND.

Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more....

  1. If there’s something to be said about which physical traits have made one desirable throughout history and the inequity in size of shifts of those traits between the sexes, over time, I’m certainly not knowledgeable enough to say it.

    Or, I could speculate that fewer women were in the position to have been photographed compared to men, and even less would have been captured solely for their looks during this time.

    I’m only just literate enough to ask: where’s the pics of history’s babes at, yo?

  2. Yes, the other site has been around for awhile. And is much more entertainingly written to boot. Check it out, Lindy, if you haven’t…you’d probably like it more.

  3. Thank you, @4–I knew I’d seen some of these, but couldn’t find it. However, the Daguerreotype Boyfriend has a nice array of pretty faces, and respect is due just for spelling daguerreotype.

  4. Yeah, that other site may have done it before this one, but I did it first (postin’ since 2006 bitches). Vintage pics of totally bangable dues and some kittehs to boot at Sepiatone, i.e enotaipes.blogspot. cee ooh emmm (no links allowed here so check my profile for one).

    Stranger – why U no love me???
