'I know a gal who visited that place. She said Oscar Wildes grave was overflowing with flowers and the lipstick on his gravestone was so thick you could cut it with a knife...'
Oscar Wilde
Does anyone have any idea why all the lipstick kisses on a gay icon?
Victor Noir (fifth picture from the bottom) was closed to the public at one time due to concerns about the wear and tear inflicted on the tomb by visitors. It appears that the effigy on the tomb has a "distinct enlargement in the groin region," and female visitors rub this protrusion in hopes it will enhance their fertility. LOL it's very apparent from looking at it.
Noir was shot in a duel the day before he was to be married.
Well, for quite a while he was married with children...
For me, personally, I just think he was one of the greatest writers the English language has ever known.
Sometimes he’s a bit over the top. But I still cannot read “Salome’s Last Dance” without my jaw dropping to the floor...
He was brilliant and died way, way too young...
Gay or not, I can easily see women kissing his gravestone.
