Couch

 

 

Just brought 
a 3 seater couch circa
1976, from the Don's Party school of interior deco,
upholstered in virulent orange and
brown stripe in textured nylon.
Bought it in honour and anticipation of a man I wanna shag,
hoping he'll be awed by my taste in furniture and subsequently me. Feel that 
this is
possibly not a good solid reason to be buying a sofa.
It's very bright fuckin' orange.
