My friend Christine went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Florida where she found these Framed Monkees Images, which she and I have decided to comment on here. Why? Do we have too much time on our hands? YES. Yes, we do. Monkees stuff, yes, does exist. In real life. So we are relishing in it. Christine is interested in your feedback too, so feel free to email her. Editor's Note: This was made a while ago, and I sincerely do not feel like updating it. Do you really think I would still say Peter looks exceptionally fine? Of course not, LOL. Shake 'em up and let 'em roll...
Sleepy Jean: This image surprised me, and I
thought Peter looked exceptionally fine. I have no idea what this article is about,
but maybe Christine does. Something about violence under him doesn't look good.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Christine:
Yeah, the article was done towards the end of the Monkees and Peter started
to separate himself from the Monkees.
Sleepy Jean: Now I can see they placed Peter
next to Ringo Starr, which I think is an excellent choice. Then it says, "Beatles
Ape Monkees". Not sure I understand that... or desire to. Davy looks resonably hot.
I like this wall, it has bows, like a present. Can I keep it?
Christine: The picture was taken at Christmas
time (hence the bows). I like how they arranged the Melody Makers here. Sort of pitting
the Beatles against The Monkees. As if!
Sleepy Jean: This one is very psychedelic
looking. The Monkees are all on top of each other in weird clothing. Micky is singing
psychedelic dots from his mouth. Was the artist dropping a lot of acid? Maybe. Nice frames though.
Christine:
16 Magazine will stop at nothing when it comes to over-glamorizng the Monkees. Haha.
Sleepy Jean: I'm making an assumption
the Monkees never actually played this guitar. Or...?
Christine:
As far as we know, the people who made them sign this guitar could have taken it out
of their backroom. Talk about lack of sense!
Sleepy Jean: Looks like the Monkees
were drunk when they signed this. And couldn't they get them a better marker? I guess
when they realized the Monkees were drunk, they decided it all went to hell anyway.
I wonder if Davy wrote the "thanks!".
Christine:
Notice how Mike's signature is absent. It's not really The Monkees without
Mike, is it? Naughty Mike, abandoning your bandmate when in need!
Sleepy Jean: I didn't think that was
Mike's hand writing. It's not even his name... *sigh*. Who the hell signed in his place?
"Uh, Vinny,... yeah, would you sign your name in place of Mike Nesmith's? Yes, we want
you to be a Monkee for the day? What? No, you don't have to wear the hat."
Sleepy Jean: Looks like another
touched-by-a-monkee garment peice.
This one probably going more than Ringo Starr's toothbrush.
I personally would rather bid on a Ringo Starr make-out session... Sorry, unrelated.
Do we know if this is Micky's or Davy's? Cause, you know, as much as I would love
to be nestled in their clothes too, shouldn't they have put some really signature,
tribute outfit in a frame, like a double breasted shirt or something? Yes, that should
be framed. And this should be on my body. Oh, I didn't say that outloud.
Christine: Forget the shirt, I just want to
get into their pants.
Sleepy Jean: Yes, and she means in their actual
pants folks, as in wearing them. Personally, I think they
just picked this up at J. Crew and asked Micky to put it on for a couple of days.
I wonder how much Monkee sweat sells for...
