I posted it earlier today, and this photo bugged me:
Why? What was it that made that thing appear so familiar?
I finally figured it out. The good news: Business change guru Tom Peters will be pleased to hear that this man above, rendered in wax, Millard Fillmore, was once called “the handsomest man I ever met,” by Queen Victoria.
Why would Peters be pleased?
Look:
Tom Peters
Or maybe this one better makes the point:
Tom Peters
Uncanny resemblance, no?
Maybe Peters’ company could buy the wax head . . .

Update, October 9, 2011 — Upon reflection, I think Tom Peters the much more handsome man. Mind you, the story is that Queen Victoria called Fillmore the “most handsome man” she had ever seen. That was before Sean Connery, before Brad Pitt, before Clark Gable, before Morgan Freeman . . .

…and then there are those of us who just admire old Millard for being who he was!
