Ohh! Robin!

I've been thinking about Robin Hood. I can't imagine why. (I mean other than the fact that he now resides in my cabana on the Island of DIK and enjoys Jake Riordan's fabulous Sunday brunch) But...how old is your personal Robin?

Twenty five?

Thirty?

Thirty five?

Thirty eight, even?

Because ... ageism has reared his fresh, unlined face and is pointing his smooth finger and making wild accusations. Jealousy is so unattractive.

The fact is, my Robin is forty five.



And oooooooh what a man!

This movie had better be good.

What a thought-provoking post! I instinctively think that Robin of Loxley is in his 20s because that's generally how he's portrayed in the movies (and I'm in my 20s so it fits).

You post made me question this, however: if he's a successful 'bandit' and has learned the value of redistributing wealth (unlike Dennis Moore), he's likely in his 30s or even 40s. No one knows who Robin Hood is - so to blend, it would make sense that he be a bit older.

Plus, didn't he survive the crusades or something? Yes, he's definitely older than the 20s. And I must say, all the more smexy for it.

Check out my blog today.

For the record, mine is 28 with cheekbones to DIE for.

heyyy, did you and T both randomly decide to post RH related things today? lol.

This looks good, btw. I am a sucker for pretty much any RH...but particularly for that green-tighted rogue Errol Flynn (yeah, so sue me). Russel will make an interesting addition to the pantheon.

Young Robin - Errol Flynn
Old Robin - Sean Connery

I know you luvs him, lb, but that's some big boots to fill. I wish him luck. But I will go on the record as saying that my mind is open and I am ready to be wowed.

Apparently a lot of people are channeling RH! :)
