you can't do that with a tiffany lamp!

Ah blargh. I could always be an IDIOT... No, yeah, I knew he met Bosie after PoDG, I was just... dumb, and...dumb. What is interesting is how alike Bosie and Dorian are, being that he did meet Bosie -after- writing Dorian, and though I agree that Bosie was not so bad as Dorian would appear to be, I do think they had similar aspects, in youth, beauty, and being fantastically immature. And from what I gleaned from Wilde and the commentaries, Oscar and Bosie stopped actually having sex with eachother decently early on, and had more of a teacher/student, though very intimate, relationship. All in all, I don't know. I do know that it was technically Ioan's character, John Gray, who served as the inspiration for the novel. And clearly, timelinewise, Bosie could not have been a model for Dorian. But... hm.
