Take the “fun” out of “funeral” and throw the rest away!
Zoe Wohlfeld is holding a funeral for her childhood dog, Twinkles. Dressed in Victorian mourning garb and ready to cry on command, she’s here to teach you how to properly perform your grief. All she wants is your sympathy, your tears, and a goddamn glass of wine (please). Sadness is Zoe’s passion and Twinkles was Zoe’s best friend, so join the solemn ceremony and let her teach you how to pay respects with the big boys (may they rest in peace).
