Basic Fainting Technique
Once the gentleman has been manipulated into position, the lady may proceed with her intended mission. But whether the objective is to steal some secret prototype off his personage, or place a wooden hair stick through his heart, be certain it is done without wrinkling your dress.
This is very important.
Now THIS is ROMANTIC!

Music lover proposes to girlfriend at festival with fly-past banner saying 'Pretty lady, will you marry me?' | Mail Online
By Larisa Brown
As far as dramatic declarations of love go, they don’t get much more romantic than this.Jim Hagen, 42, proposed to his girlfriend Alaine Fleming with a fly-past banner proclaiming, ‘Pretty Lady, Will You Marry Me.’
It appeared in the sky above 20,000 revellers at the Wickerman Festival in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.
The height of romance: A plane flies in the sky with the proposal on a banner above 20,000 people at the festival in Scotland
Miss Fleming, 45, an employment support worker from Glasgow, who loves music, instantly knew the banner was meant for her as ‘Pretty Lady’ was Mr Hagen’s pet name for her.
Thankfully, she didn’t have to think twice about an answer.
She said:’I thought, “Is that me?” I turned to Jim and asked, “Is there another Pretty Lady here?”. He was down on one knee and had a ring in a box. It was a lovely surprise.
Oh, the body language—restrained, yet open to each other! This is romantic!
Soldier’s kiss goodbye, World War I
COME WITH ME ALICE. YOU’RE TOO WILD, TOO BEAUTIFUL, TO LIVE IN CHAINS. YOU BELONG OUT HERE. A ROSE IN A VASE IS NOT A ROSE IN THE FIELD. IT WITHERS.
WHERE WOULD WE GO, LUKE? WHAT WOULD WE EAT?
ANYWHERE WE WANT, MY LOVE, AND ANYTHING WE CAN CATCH OR FIND IN DUMPSTERS. YOU THINK YOU HAVE SECURITY BUT YOU HAVE SHACKLES. YOU THINK YOU ARE LOVED BUT YOU ARE A TOY FOR OTHERS’ AMUSEMENT. I WILL SHOW YOU FREEDOM. TOGETHER WE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE. WE WILL SET THE WORLD AFLAME.
I DON’T KNOW, LUKE. YOU’RE JUST TOO DAMNED HANDSOME TO TRUST.
I CAN’T HELP THAT, ALICE. I WAS BORN THIS WAY. THE UPSTAIRS WINDOW IS OPEN. DON’T PACK A BAG.
I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.
My Sunday morning breakfast (in my dreams).
Actually, what I had was a mug of coffee and a leftover slice of pizza.
It’s been an unseasonably warm winter and spring, so it just feels like it’s time for a new season of So You Think You Can Dance.
Just checked: May 24th!
