Two-Faced Dorian Gray

Forget the Devil Within...this is the Devil Without a Cause.


Dorian's before/after physique lives on in the two-sided portrait: the good and the bad and ugly...

Which one is real? The Dorian you see...or the one in the frame?

I love the portraits! Thanks for mailing me and I can't wait to send off the little something your way. Take care and we'll talk again soon!

I remember reading that a long time ago. Dorian retained his beautiful appearance while the portrait reflected his hideous soul.

You're exactly right (and of course, the end is the best part, but I can't give it away on the blog). They're making a new Dorian Gray movie, but I don't think it will do the book justice due to all the text's complex themes and obscure references.
