10,000 monkeys working 10,000 sewing machines
By Never teh Bride
I hate sock monkeys. I hate them with a burning passion. In fact, I don’t know what I’d do if I attended a formal event (like, for example, a wedding) and saw some young gal draped in red-mouthed screaming monkey heads. I say young gal because I simple can’t imagine anyone who has reached a certain stage in her life being attracted to such a strange creation.
Buuuuuut I know there are people out there gaga for all things sock monkey. Why, I don’t know. If you just happen to be one of the aforementioned young gals and obsessed with red-mouthed screaming monkey head paraphernalia, you might be interested to know that this $1,500 dress is a custom-designed, couture piece custom fit to each buyer by Rebecca Yaker. Yaker, for all her devotion to the cult of the sock monkey, does make absolutely freaking fantastic diaper bags that are so appealing precisely because they look nothing like your average diaper bag.
In conclusion, say no to red-mouthed screaming monkey formalwear (especially if you’re attending any of my parties) and yes to totally sweet diaper bags when the time comes.

Darn. And I just got us matching sock monkey evening gowns to wear for your housewarming party!
Ah well, another brilliant idea down the tubes.
Still, if I ever find myself in need of another wedding party, those would be bridesmaids’ gowns guaranteed to end friendships. Hmmmm…must consider.

Would you say that this monkey shocks you?

Ack! I can’t stand that monkey any more than I can stand that creepy Burger King guy.

I love my sock monkey Bruce, but there is no way in the seven levels of Hades that I would consider wearing him and the rest of his sock monkey family. Might as well have placed one monkey head over each of the lady lumps.
