I will admit, grudgingly, that I attended a Thompson Twins concert. Once. I bought tickets as a gift for a friend and the second half of my gift was that I attended said concert with her. And maybe sang along, quietly, to myself. For moral support.
So it didn't puncture any preconceived Fan Bubbles for me to see that Twin Two, now known as "Miss Pokeno," has moved on. Indeed, I have developed grown up tics, too, including eating a wholesome breakfast and regularly pulling my hair out of my face.
Nowhere does it mention if she can actually upholster and develop the chair frame, or if she buys them pre-made and just shoves some squirrels inside. I wanted to know about the chair-making part. Is she all about the brass tacks, or what?

"One of the most shocking items is a chaise longue with a dead swan attached to the armrest. According to the principles of armchair destructivism, the dead animals' function is to unsettle the familiar association of furniture with relaxation."

Twin Two calls it "a collection of chairs to honor the godless."
Uhh, thanks.
(But just for future reference? We godless now also accept PayPal.)

Um...
She was full of talent in the Thompson Twins too (??? I always wondered what she did except bang that drum to the rhythm of the drum machine.
But that may just be the b*tch in me coming out).
I got all confused and mistook the The Thompson Twins for Tears for Fears (of "shout, shout, let it all out") and thought, Whoa. One of them became "Miss Pokeno"?
I agree that it'd be much more impressive if she actually made the furniture. Because anyone with kids or pets will eventually have some mildly disturbing things on their furniture, right?
I once went to a Flock of Seagulls concert (my excuse: they were warming up for the Police). I wonder if they're sewing tea cozies now.
ummm...ok , nope, no words for this one....
