It took so long bc I went balls deep into the research for this. Listened to every album, including the snoozefest that was Exciter. Looked over all the lyrics. Read interviews. Researched 80s leather history. Why? 'Cause I can, 'cause I want to, and 'cause I don't half-ass shit.
Special factoids and nuggets I found while researching:

Another thing about Martin Gore: he would sometimes swap clothes with his German girlfriend and had some pretty cool views regarding gender. Martin Gore, enby icon:

Dave Gahan has a fuckton of cock piercings. This is just casually dropped in an interview. No big deal.

This fit. Shirt, harness, pants, I want everything in this picture. But also, what was Club Maitresse? Tried looking it up, but dead ends. Was it a real club? Or is this just a cool t-shirt design? If some soul out there knows, share your knowledge!
