This week's topic:
If you go travel back in time to any historical era for research purposes, which would you choose?
First, let's start with transportation mode. If you're going to time travel, you have to do it in style.
Ohhh look! The TARDIS comes equipped with nerdy/sexy tour guide with British accent!
Ahem. Moving on.
Now, you'll have to forgive me because while I loved History classes it's been a while. But I think the Victorian Era. Give me full satin skirts that rustle. Men in vests and coats. Parasols and carriage rides and lanterns and candles. The formality and the hushed gossip (tough this might be my mind glamorizing the time period lol).
It seemed like a rather peaceful time, not a lot of plagues going on. There was a rise in education and economy. It all sounds like an exciting time of growth and would be awesome to watch happen.
Though I wouldn't stay too long. I'm kind of a fan on indoor plumbing and my iPod.
Where would you go? Head on over to YAHighway and link a comment to your response!

I'm also a fan of indoor plumbing, but it would be fun to (temporarily) see what it's like to live in the Victorian Era, for sure!
YAY you and I chose the same time! More than anything I'd love to see guys in those fancy suits. Hot.
But I'd come back pretty quick, too. I love Modern Science more than authenticity.
I would want to see the Victorian era too, mostly for the fashion. But I have a feeling corsets would get really old, really fast.
I'll take the machine, but leave the guide for you. :P You're on with the hushed gossip! Also, loads of sex jokes and innuendos instead of outright pick-up attempts. Love it.
I'm with Meredith- corsets are all fun and games until somebody loses a rib.
I'm in, A. I'll sneak a few iPods on board, too. Prepare the corsets. Ready the fine vested men. WE LEAVE AT DAYBREAK!
Guilty secret: when I was at law school I used to read Barbara Cartland novels during exam time. Took an hour, perfect for a break in the bath. Sign me up for that carriage ride.
