Henry Conway does Spandau. Not the prison, unfortunately

OMFG: is he EVER going to stop pushing the envelope? Behold, taxpayers' nemesis and Lost in Showbiz infatuation Henry Conway - who has segued seamlessly from inviting proletarian uprisings to his first Tatler magazine shoot.

Hair-'n'-hat-wise, it would appear that Henry is attempting some kind of John Taylor homage. Or is it more Martin Fry? Or Steve Strange (Blitz era, pre-smack addiction, obviously, and very much pre-conviction for stealing a Teletubby)? Or just Big Fun? There's even a touch of the David Sylvians to his work, if you imagine the Japan frontman realised in Cabbage Patch doll form (why did they never produce that kind of fan merchandise?)

Whatever: none of the aforementioned could hold a candle to our most precious pet, and we can only slaver in anticipation of Henry's next move. Is he REALLY still fending off the attentions of unscripted programming executives? Enquiring minds want to know.
