Frank_Plumpton_Ramsey: math geek with a side of philosophy. Depressive, died young, drank cocoa with Wittengenstein, learned German in a week, married a woman named after a leafy vegetable. And, um, impeccable hair.

Hello everyone! :D

I come here bringing a Swedish dancer.

Jean Börlin was a famous ballet dancer in Sweden. He was born in 1893, and became a prominent dancer at the royal Opera in Stockholm at a fairly young age. He was the premier danseur and coreographer for Les Ballets Suédois in Paris, and that dance troup played an important part in developing what we know as modern dance in this day and age! So, basically, he's not super well known, but you'll probably have heard about him if you're into dance and ballet. He was also openly homosexual and lived with a Swedish nobleman named Rolf de Maré for several years, which made him kind of notorious in Sweden. He also made some artsy french silent films with René Clair before he died in 1930.

From what I've read and heard, people thought that he was rather cute back in the day. So, was he hot or not? :D

I just picked up a new biography of this man, and naturally turned to the photos first, where I found this:



My goodness, who knew he was that good looking back then?

Given the recent posting of Gropius, I thought maybe we should reflect on the hotness (or not?) of his wife, Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel.



What say you? Hot enough to warrant affairs and marriages with some of the finest creative minds of Central Europe?

Hello there, it's me again.
And today I bring you....

Anthony van Dyck
1599 - 1641



Van Dyck was a Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England. He is most famous for his portraits of King Charles I of England and Scotland and his family and court, painted with a relaxed elegance that was to be the dominant influence on English portrait-painting for the next 150 years. He also painted biblical and mythological subjects, displayed outstanding facility as a draftsman, and was an important innovator in watercolour and etching.

Van Dyck was born to prosperous parents in Antwerp. His talent was evident very early, and he was studying painting with Hendrick van Balen by 1609, and became an independent painter around 1615, setting up a workshop with his even younger friend Jan Brueghel the Younger. By the age of fifteen he was already a highly accomplished artist, as his Self-portrait, 1613-14, shows.

My overall rating of Van Dyck is 8. I am rather curious to see what you guys think.

I'm not sure if he's been posted yet, but here he is!


Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. He was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Having been featured on Badass of the Week and Cracked.com, he definitely was awesome. Now, was he hot?
