Lord Byron, what a sentimentalist!

Thursday, Jul 10, 2014

Back in the day, way before Kodak, Byron had a unique way of paying tribute to his ex-girlfriends. He used to place little snippets of each one's pubic hair in envelopes, writing their individual names on the fronts. There were quite a number of them since, reportedly, he bedded in one year alone as many as 250 woman… and an occasional strapping young man as well. As late as the 1980s these envelopes and their little curly-cues could be found on file at Byron's publishing house in London. After that, who knows?
