"`I'll be judge, I'll be jury,' said cunning old Fury:
`I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.'"
Lewis Carroll (English Logician, Mathematician, Photographer and Novelist, especially remembered for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 1832-1898)
'Fury LaFave and her Friend and Foe -The Fabled and Fabulously Minimal Mover, Dr Jack Von Mannequin....'
'''Miss Fury LaFave is the truly corrupt yet alluring cockney with the questionable past who, during the late 19th century, walked the night time streets of Whitechapel, plying her evil and secret sexual trade. Her partner is the famously dapper and fashionable upper class chap (former medic to the Queen Victoria, no less)- Dr Jack Von Mannequin, who in appearance is every inch the classic English gent of good taste and exceptional manners....
But is there not something sinister about them both beneath this exterior? Has the Dr, with his medical bag, long cape and scalpel, been seen walking the streets of Whitechapel in years gone past? And was not 'Fury' made so by the loss of her supposed friends who walked those very same streets? Were they her friends, or indeed her rivals? And why are these two, who apparently endured such accusations and grief, such close friends now? Are they friends- or were they accomplices...........?
Whatever their dark past, this unlikely pair now spend their time entertaining the scoundrels of the 21st Century music hall, bringing you tales from their time and the depths of history in their own unique and twisted way - tales of love, lust, corruption, murder, heartbreak, deceit, passion, and of course, the darkest and most sinful sin of them all - Fury.....
Fleeing the consequences of their dark and unknown crimes, Fury LaFave and Dr Mannequin were forced in to hiding amongst the street level seaside pier attraction sideshows of the day- leading to their signature act
which we are proud to present to you in the form of ''The Living Dolls Box''- a pink, glittering, seven foot hybrid of victorian freakshow and barbie doll box, in which are performed a selection of acts for your viewing entertainment.
Ranging from the deeply sinister to the truly heartbreaking, Fury and the Dr can bring any flavour to any event with this emotive and powerful prop.....
''The Amazing Living Dolls Box'' Acts:
''The Living Doll'':
Fury the doll is brought mysteriously to life.. But the Ken to her Barbie remains frozen, still and unresponsive. Alone, and afraid, Fury tries everything to get his attention- but her advances are ignored.. What will the heartbroken Living Doll do?
Fury openly and starkly portrays those unbearable feelings of heartbreak and rejection familiar to anyone who has ever been a victim of unrequited love, or found they are not the person they thought they were.....
''Side by Side'':
This time the living doll has her Dr- alive and well.. A cheeky and very upbeat celebration of Fury and the Dr's strange, misplaced but touching devotion to one another, and a testament to what they've been thrugh together.. But Fury LaFave is so taken with the Dr she can't quite seem to keep a grip on things...
''How I met your Father''
Perhaps a re-enactment of this criminal couples first fateful meeting in the dark doorways of 1888 whitechapel- the attraction is evident, but it seems that both parties have an ulterior motive in mind...a sexually tense and sinister battle of minds commences in this dark and twisted interpretation of love at first sight........
Acts coming soon:
Fury LaFave and Dr Mannequin will shortly be bringing you their version of the tales of those they admire most...
''Bonny and Clyde''
In which Fury and the Dr pay tribute to a pair remarkably similar to themselves
''Jack the Ripper and Jill the Stripper''
The unexpected truth about the events in 1888 Whitechapel - Events which strangely enough took place shortly after the pair met.....
''Sweeney Todd and Mrs Love It''

Fury LaFave will be presenting her latest photos soon. Watch this space..
