    Shelly's site is FANTASTIC, but it's pre Victorian and is already part of the Regency Hero Resources thread.

    Defently intresting. I long for a toung and cheek website on guidelines for victoriean damsels in distress (like how to appy makeup while bound to train tracks, and what are the best ways to lay back and think of England).

    Consider yourself reped.
