RED ALERT -- Mae West's Pet Monkeys Enjoy Her Namesake Sofa


The Mae West Lips Sofa is a surrealist sculpture in the form of a sofa by Salvador Dali.The light red, 110 cm × 183 cm × 81.5 cm (43 in × 72 in × 32 in) sized seating furniture made of polyurethane foam coated with a red polidur coating was shaped in 1972 after the lips of actress Mae West, whom Dalí apparently found fascinating.

P.S. Mae owned pet monkeys her whole life, with names like Boogie and Tricky. She reportedly doted on them like they were her babies.
