Self- Writeousness | Oscar Wilde's Salome and Why I can't stop thinking about it @SelfWriteousness | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 minutes ago.
So I started looking into Salome because it was a play on my to-do list for multiple Pride Months. And now the video's this convoluted and questionable. Anyway, enjoy this saucy look at Oscar Wilde's Salome (the show that originated the phrase "Dance of the Seven Veils," by the way).
