Lady Hamilton

- in a letter to Nelson, shortly after the news of victory at the battle of the Nile, send from her house in Naples: 

"My dress from head to foot is alla Nelson. Ask Hoste. Even my shawl is in Blue with gold anchors all over. My earrings are Nelson's anchors; in in short, we are be-Nelsoned all over."
