Wanted Wednesday: Monkey Shines

Wanted Wednesday
Monkey Shines T-Shirt

Monkey Shines is a horror movie released in 1988. It's about it man who becomes a quadriplegic & gets a helper monkey who starts acting out his violent desires. I haven't seen the movie in years, but I was obsessed with it when I was younger. There was a video store near our grocery store where you could rent 5 of the older movies for $5 Monday through Thursday for 5 days. This, along with Howard the Duck & April Fools used to be some of my regulars. The movie poster also embodies one of my all time favourite toys - the Jolly Chimp! I have 3, all complete with boxes.

Anyways, I recently came across this shirt online. If they all weren't nearly $200 & size SMALL, I would buy one. Until then... 

it's on etsy.

When I watched this movie as an adult, I couldn't believe how silly it was, either way, I wouldn't be able to pass the shirt up if it came up at the right price & in the right size. 

If you've never seen/heard of Monkey Shines, here's the trailer!

Even more RED has turned up in the second hand venues.

$2.50 per kneehugger, couldn't say no! You like? each one complete with it's sticker on it's butt: MADE IN HONG KONG.  

I haven't bought a Federal bowl in awhile. It's the polka dot RED Federal bowl that got me started on Pyrex, Federal, bowls & kitchenware. It's when my boyfriends nightmare began. Whenever I saw this bowl online I always thought that it was bold for them to use their logo on the design of their bowl. I wanted it. I've got it. 99cents.

I picked up my first die-cut vintage Valentine! I whipped it out of the suitcase at the flea market in Buffalo, it was the only one left in the suitcase.. handed it to my boyfriend & he screamed, "EW! Is that a booger on there?" & honestly, I couldn't confirm that it wasn't. I scrapped it off with a bottle cap & it came home with me anyways - booger or not. Some vintage Christmas cards & a vintage Valentines day card. 

Got in some thrifting today, picked up a few (four) things. Have a bit more thrifting to come this week. Thrift on!
