Day 85: I Am Finally Revealed

Many of you may have wondered why I look strangely like Curious George. Wonder no more. I have cast off the disguise and here I am, the real me - complete with fez, crisps (plain Hula-Hoops), small clay pipe and glass of Absinthe. How has this thing been possible?, I hear you cry. Easy.

Some weeks ago, I admired the work of a very clever man called Dave Shelton. Such was our bond that he insisted on capturing my image in order to preserve it for all eternity. I think I look rather fine, and I am sure you will all agree.

And yes - more excitement to follow. A dear friend will be creating a light but generally unobtrusive and most definitely stylish (think Le Corbusier-meets-Louis XIV-armoire-meets-Tom-Dixon-c. 1999), site redesign in the coming weeks.

Sweet Lord! Will the excitement never end?























And thank you, Dave Shelton. If you ever need an illustrator, he's your man. And go and look at his blog, where you will find The Development Of The Monkey and a recent and very fine elephant in a suit.

Very cute indeed. However, I feel there should be something sticking to the fur if it is to be strictly accurate.

Look forward to the revamp.

Well done that Dave - fab picture - but where is her frock? After all, she is a laydeemonkey.

I blog naked.

Oh Lord. I hope you remember to shut the blinds. Monkeys don't get on well in jail when sent down for exposing themselves to passing pedestrians.

MM i am so glad you mentioned the clothing "issue" - I didn't like to bring it up. Lovely picture NWM, Dave did a super job but I too feel a little uncomfortable viewing you in all your naked...errm....glory.

What do you mean "naked"? Does a fez count for nothing?

Oh my. Now the pressure is on.

Dave Shelton, you said all that needed to be said.

And anyway, I have my all-over monkeyfur to protect my modesty. (And if the angle's awkward, I just move the fez around a bit.)

I suppose the fez proves you are a laydeemonkey, because if you were a gentlemanmonkey, you would remove your hat in the house.

P.S. Dave - if you could give that fab elephant a suit, couldn't NWM have had a little embroidered dirndl (sp?) skirt with matching bolero jacket?

JUST YOU WAIT, 'ENRY 'IGGINS. Dave has already Solved The Problem, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Such excitement!

(word verification: pffft. Result!)

I forgot to say to Dave that I particularly admired the monkeypaw feet on your chair. Could he design a three-piece monkeysuite, do you think, for when the family come round?
