‘ ...Could be a chat-show, could be a go-go,
reaction would be the same,
So here I go though, why I don’t know though
Trying to prove myself again... ’
Soft Cell, Entertain Me
Three meters tall, teetering on a classical Greek column in a wedding dress made from toilet paper, a ghostly apparition performs a grotesque-burlesque strip show, drowning in melancholia
‘...A real jewel ... a wonderfully old-fashioned and self conscious Genetesque apparition ... violently transgendering...’
