Houghe Warner is the “Hat Shopkeeper” in Marleybone. He is located in Regent’s Square, inside Hairless Houghes Hats shop, on the north side of Market Square.
Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, painter, and writer. He is known for his controversial stage personality and image as the lead singer of the band of the same name, which he co-founded with guitarist Daisy Berkowitz in 1989 and of which he remains the only constant member. Like the other founding members of the band, his stage name was formed by combining and juxtaposing the names of two opposing American cultural icons: a sex symbol and an infamous criminal; in Manson’s case, actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.
The Beautiful People (Click the YouTube link) starts with a heavy drum presence, sinister chants and an unforgettable guitar line mixed in with Manson’s hushed whisper of the song’s reprise, ‘The Beautiful People’ challenges societal materialism, which Manson labels as “the culture of beauty.”
