little shop of horrors

Catherine just took us to a little shop of curiositys called 'The Last Tuesday Society' on Mare Street. She couldn't describe it before she took us there and now I understand why... taxidermy cats with wings, shrunken heads, a dinner table with guests fresh (decaying) out of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', celebrity poos in jars, a piece of felt from one of Al Capone's hats, The Cunt Colouring Book, taxidermy 'largest rceorded erect penis' from a man who was hanged (and well hung, apparently) in the 18th century, Pancho Villa's trigger finger, a jar of used condoms and a packet of viagra allegedly from a 2003 hotel room used by the Stones. Need I continue....

There is a £2 entry fee and they are a bit snooty, but they also have some more palatable (and affordable) goth/curio stuff such as the jewellery and these tin mariachi band figures that I bought to hang on my wall, click the pic for a link to the website. They're cute but I think I'm missing a trumpet/horn player:


Also, I've been wanting to blog these for a while, another of my favourite little finds, Russian politician Russian dolls, from a charity shop for £1, but sadly I'm missing the littlest doll, who I think must have been Lenin:

Ha looking a bit dusty....
