Paul McMonnies (PabloMc2@aol.com) sent several emails to the mailing list on Monday night, and included some picture attachments in them. The mailing list server doesn't allow attachments to be sent to the list, so the messages didn't get through. So, I've taken his attachments and uploaded his pics to my web site, and amended his message so that it now gives the URLs of where you can find each pic. - ------Paul's message ------------------------------ This will probably be my first and last ever posting to this mailing list but here goes anyway..... The only reason I subscribed to the list was that it is traditional in our town (Rhyl in North Wales, UK) for everyone to go out in fancy dress costumes on New Years Eve (the whole town - population about 30,000 - this year about 14,000 were out reportedly) and with that amount of people out, you obviously want to try to make your costume stand out from the crowd. You get the usual nuns, clowns, gangsters and Arabs, but my brother and I have always prided ourselves on making our own costumes and trying to be original (past efforts have included Bananaman, Wallace and Gromit and 1920s soccer players). Well this year we decided to do Monkey, along with a friend of ours, James. We scoured all the cult shops around Liverpool and Manchester and could find no (absolutely none !!) Monkey memorabilia, i.e. posters, postcards, or even better - videos etc to base our costumes on (memory is a little fuzzy after nearly 20 years since we saw it last !!!) so our last refuge was the Internet where we managed to find some fairly decent pictures and even better, some AVIs to use (I can't remember the site, but the "headache" one was an absolute godsend for the Monkey costume - so thanks to whoever's site it is !!!!). We made our costumes (we couldn't get a Tripitaka, but I went as Sandy, my brother as Monkey and James as Pigsy) and took some (rather poor unfortunately) photos - all of which I will send to the mailing list. The poses in the photos are based upon the pictures we downloaded from the Net, which some (most ?) of you will probably have. The good news is that after all that effort, we won first prize in the nightclub !! Anyway - that is more than enough waffle from me !! I hope you like the pictures - any comments would be greatly appreciated !!! (although - "you sad bastards" will not be necessary - we already know that !!!) Best Regards, Paul McMonnies Attached - A picture of all 3 of us: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/8153/pablo_monkeyall1.jpg Another pic attached Attachments : Monkey (Jamie) http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/8153/pablo_monkey1.jpg Picture of Pigsy (included the crossed-eyes !!!)
