Sebastian Horsley is one of those self-promoting, self-indulgent theatrical artists--with a collection of human skulls and a throne in his living room--whom you either love or you hate. A self-described dandy in the tradition of Oscar Wilde and Quentin Crisp (note the red nail polish), Horsley was born into money; made more in the stock market; lost a wad of it on drugs, prostitutes and tailored clothing; has been crucified in the Philippines; and was allegedly fired from The Observer for his column about anal sex on Easter Sunday.

If you're on his mailing list, you get emails with subjects like "WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?" and "SUCK MY NAZI COCK." This last one was an announcement about his YouTube channel, which read: "Here are some films for those of you who haven't read my book. So illiterates can hate me too. Sex. Death. Drugs. Dandyism. Music. Dandy in the Underworld. You go to the cinema and see rape, sodomy, alcoholism and drug addiction. You might as well have stayed at home." 

His latest vid is "Horsley on Whoring," which might be a lot more offensive if 1) he hadn't been a prostitute himself for a stint, and 2) he wasn't so fun to watch. His book, Dandy in the Underworld: An Unauthorized Autobiography, hits the States next week. Stay tuned for a Bedpost Interview with him!

Type the characters you see in the picture above.

In one sense, revenge sex—when you sleep with your ex's nemesis, roommate, sibling, parent, or pet in order to pay them back for dumping you--totally works: how could your ex not be grossed out / horrified / disillusioned / damaged for life? But unless your ex is a few peas short of a casserole, your cunning plan is sure to backfire, because they'll know exactly why you slept with their paste-eating dork of a sibling, and the most overwhelming emotion they will feel is deep, abiding pity for you.
