Tantalizing Trivia ~ onGossamer

QUESTION: onGossamer, the exquisite lingerie line, was named after a famous quote by:

A. Henry David Thoreau

B. William Shakespeare

C. Emily Dickinson

D. William Butler Yeats

During Eve's recent visit to Fashion Week / Las Vegas, we spoke with onGossamer and discovered that the owner was head over heals for Shakespeare at the time that he and his wife were naming their lingerie company. As a result, "onGossamer" took its inspiration from Shakespeare's quote, "Faeries flitting on gossamer wings are a common sight. Their wings of rainbow colors unfold quietly, taking flight."

ANSWER: If you answered "B" above then you are correct.

To see some of the lingerie inspired by Shakespeare's fairy wings, take a look at this post for a few images from the collection.
