Edgar Allan Poe responds...
"Why, why, oh why must you haunt my waking nightmares with your presence? I shall go mad. Madness! It consumes me! I must give in and agree to see you, or else I shall never find peace."
What your date might be like...
You might end up at the local library, or you might end up at the local Goth club. Either way, expect Poe to be quiet, reserved, and a bit shy. He's an elegant speaker when given the opportunity, but will usually try to avoid standing out in a crowd. For a modest but more enjoyable evening, take him to a quiet, unpopulated spot-- for instance, a cellar or a graveyard.
James Baldwin:
A warm summer night in the Latin Quarter of Paris is sexy...
equality in Alabama is sexier. (I don't know about THAT!)
Frida Kahlo responds...
"¡Hola! So, you think you have the frijoles to be an el Frido? It takes energy, my friend, and passion. But go ahead, take your best shot."
Mata Hari.....
Lying is sexy...
getting away with it is sexier.

Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
