Been dumped in time for Valentine's Day? Get revenge with new 'Voodoo your ex' service
- London shop will make you a voodoo doll complete with five different curses
- It certainly makes a change from red roses and chocolates for 14th Febuary
- Retailer says success not guaranteed but your ex might stub a toe
Valentine's Day is more traditionally associated with love, romance and candlelit dinners. However if it's all-out revenge you're looking for instead, one shop has the answer.
The Last Tuesday Society, based in trendy Shoreditch in East London, is offering to make you the ultimate in revenge toys - a voodoo doll in the image of your ex.
'Has a love rat done the dirty on you?' its website asks. 'Get your revenge this Valentine's Day with a custom-made voodoo doll.'
Spurned lovers are invited to devise their own curses to wreak misfortune on their exes
Those unlucky in love are invited to send in a picture of their ex, plus a piece of his or his clothing, from which the doll will be made.
If your former partner has unhelpfully taken back their clothing from your possession so you can't get busy with the scissors, you have the option of getting your doll made from a range of fabrics, including demin, paisley, gingham or floral material.
Valentine's Day is usually associated with roses and romance but a voodoo dall is a rather sinister alternative
If you are so carried away by thoughts of revenge that you can't think of a specific torment, then there is a handy gruesome list to choose from.
Curses include impotence, flatulence, hair loss, tooth ache, speeding fine, credit card cloned or - a particular nightmare for the East London social media-obsessed crowd- zero Twitter followers.
Rather unfairly for the other parties involved, there is also the curse of having your pet run over or your football team relegated.
Then for the princely sum of £19.99 plus post and packaging, the doll will be yours, or you can pick it up in person from its temporary pop-up shop in Shoreditch Boxpark.
The Last Tuesday Society is hosting a Valentine's Day Masked Ball on February 14 and is inviting people to bring their dolls along for a 'full voodoo hexing ceremony.'
It adds: 'Of course we can’t promise that your faithless ex will suffer death or dismemberment in the classic tradition of St Valentine and Al Capone's rival [in the St Valentine's Day massacre], but they might succumb to a migraine, a stubbed toe or an unexpected tax bill.'
