"I can resist everything except temptation."

It's the Fin de Siecle, and Oscar Wilde is the talk of London.
Following Beau Brummel, he perfected the persona of the dandy.
He is also a celebrated wit.

“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.”

He made great strides in being out of the closet,
until he became publicly involved with the wrong man's son.

He spent time in exile in Paris and San Francisco.
(Not bad places for it.)

This month, Primal welcomes Oscar back to San Francisco.

"It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco.
It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world."

Wilde created the modern story of Salome, including the seven veil dance.

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

Come to Primal, Where the Wilde Things Are.

Suggested attire includes:

a dandy; anything Oscar would wear;

Victorian or Edwardian drag, of any social class;

French Belle Epoque;

San Francisco c.1882 (wild west);

characters from Wilde's writings: e.g. Salome, Dorian Grey, Earnest;

black tie or tuxedo (both invented in the Victorian era);

veils (seven or otherwise);

preferred colors for this event are jewel tones;

fetishwear;

eroticwear;

partial or full nudity;

or any of the options suitable at every Primal party;
No vanilla street clothes. Note strict Dress Code;
As always, trans and crossdressing folk can dress as they like.

As usual, there will be an organized group dinner earlier in the evening. This will be the first ever organized munch at the new Wicked Grounds kinky coffee shop.
