Celebrity endorsements have a long and somewhat bizarre history.
Take, for example, the early 1880s ads for Madame Fontaine's Bust Beautifier (guaranteed to "enlarge and beautify the bosom" or your money back), which featured the image of....
Oscar Wilde.
Who was not famous for being busty, nor, if it comes to that, for being attracted to those who were. Nor is there any mention of him in the accompanying copy, just a picture in one corner without so much as a caption naming him.
The prospective buyer was presumably expected to think A) "That's Oscar Wilde!!" and B) "I must enlarge and beautify my bosoms forthwith!" without too much scrutiny of the logical processes involved in getting from A to B.

Un buongiorno a tutt* coloro che sanno che gli uomini sono dei mostri e che non c'é altro da fare che cibarli bene.
Un buon cuoco fa miracoli.

Today In Labor History April 7, 1933: Prohibition ended for beer. Once again, unions could freely organize workers in the bars and workers could drink freely. As Oscar Wilde said, “Work is the curse of the drinking classes.”
Today, April 5, 1895, author Oscar Wilde loses his criminal libel case against the Marquess of Queensberry, who accused him of homosexual practices (depicted in Wilde, 1997)

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

Chi dice la verità prima o poi viene scoperto, diceva il grande #OscarWilde. #vonderLeyen ha detto quello che è: è #riarmo. E #Meloni ha bisogno di un'operazione di mascheramento: è #Difesa. NON si può dire #Riarmo, se no, il popolo capisce quello che davvero è
Devo confessarti che anche a me non entusiasma rispetto a tutti i libri di #OscarWilde , ma il tema del libro è IMHO fichissimo
#TheSubstance della regista #CoralieFargeat è un #putpourri di omaggi a grandi classici della letteratura e del cinema horror, rielaborati in chiave moderna. Il tema di fondo è quello del rapporto con la vecchiaia e il voler rimanere sempre giovani, quindi il riferimento principale facilmente visibile è quello di #OscarWilde con #ilritrattodidoriangrey, ma su questo sostrato letterario, già interessante di per sé, si inserisce
1/6
Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

"Wilde catapulted to fame by making a mockery of shallow British high society. But he would soon discover that even the most cultured audiences in Great Britain were more willing to witness themselves made into a silly farce on stage than to consider daring new takes on time-honored religious stories. The writer would have a much harder time getting his production of Salome onto the British stage than anticipated.
'Censors were, unsurprisingly, alarmed by the not merely sexual but sexually transgressive—incest and necrophilia—aspects of the play,' wrote art historian Simon Wilson in a 2017 journal article. '[They] might also have been alarmed by the presentation of Salome as a powerful woman who bargains on equal terms, not merely with a man, but with a king.'"

"La meilleure façon de résister à la tentation c'est d'y céder"
Oscar Wilde
The latest chapter in my novel Songbird features Great Marlborough Street and the Marlborough Street Magistrates Court (pictured, Wikipedia), which has played host to a number of famous people over the years including Oscar Wilde, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Rotten and Christine Keeler. Charles Dickens also worked there, as a reporter.
