Eric Roberts Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) All over the internet one finds examples of the commodification of Lord Bacon's words and portrait images. It's as if popular culture has recently adopted Francis Bacon as a cipher for 'intellectuality' to be worn by those who like to flaunt their would-be mental superiority... or at any rate, their serious literary interests. At the same time, these 'baconian' products reduce the Great Man to a more or less cartoon figure. How far can they go...? Is this a genuine quote by Lord Bacon? Again, is this genuine Bacon or from someone else? Quite tasteful, if you like that sort of thing. You can wear Bacon at the beach. Only included because the "author" has borrowed Bacon's writing style (a little) Prop up your head with Bacon Be an arty smarty. Get one today! Just what any upwardly mobile couple needs Imagine going shopping with this... More shocking revelations to come.

Light-of-Truth Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have to say I like the white silky Bacon signature nightie. Do they have plus sizes? I wonder if my wife would wear one. 🙂 3 T A A A A A A A A A A A T 157 www.Light-of-Truth.com 287 <-- 1 8 8 1 1 O 1 1 8 8 1 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth is that way, right?

Light-of-Truth Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 To keep on topic here, as far as Bacon Merch, it's been a while but almost daily for several years a while back I'd visit eBay to look for treasures. I have a lot of "stuff", might not have a ton of Treasures though. Maybe a few. 😉 3 T A A A A A A A A A A A T 157 www.Light-of-Truth.com 287 <-- 1 8 8 1 1 O 1 1 8 8 1 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
