They don't make em like Fitzwilliam Darcy anymore

You know that David Bowie song "I'm Afraid of Americans" ?

Yeah well I'm afraid of Donny Osmond.




Why aren't men today like the men in the Jane Austen books? I mean I know it's fictional, but come on. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Col. Brandon, Mr. Knightly, Capt. Frederick Wentworth, Mr. Bingley........ WHY DO MEN LIKE THIS NOT EXIST ANYMORE?!?! I'm missing out on the cravats and breeches and MANNERS and guys on horseback and giant estates like Pemberley and when a woman's virtue was as brittle as it was beautiful. Today they're just... ugh. *sulks*


Can someone please give me a few thousand dollars to fly to New York so I can buy Manolo Blahniks? That would be most kind and generous.

Yours etcetera,
Kate
