I'm sure there's other things I "should" be doing, but it's Saturday, it's muggy-muggy out, and I feel like making movie posters. So I am.
Just got the original movie out from the library to watch for the 50 billionth time.
SALT is getting a lot of publicity right now. Will it reign at the box office? Will the Oscars pour in? Only time will tell.

It's Cheeky's day off from competition, so he makes good use of his time & visits The Sock Monkey Hall of Fame.
There, he pays homage to ALL his ancestors, each of whom has won a GOLD MEDAL in EVERY event entered. It's a proud legacy for Cheeky, and one by which he feels humbled.
(This photo was actually shot in my bathroom, show & tell here: Half Black; Half White; Half Bath Blog Post).

It's time for Team Sock's luge run!
While Cheeky and his giraffe sidekick, Nehi, hurtle down the track at top speed, the other competitors look on!
The 2-banana team, who'd had such a successful run the day before, see their chance for Gold slipping through their fingers! Or their hands! Or whatever it is that they have! Yeah!
As was perhaps to be expected, AS IT'S THE TITLE OF THIS SERIES: Cheeky Monkey (& Nehi) Wins Olympic Gold!
Here's the rest of the medal wrap-up:
2nd place (Silver): B1 & B2 (Bananas in Pajamas, sans Jammies)
3rd place (Bronze): Thing 1 & Thing 2 (Cat in the Hat dolls)
And, since this is MY OLYMPICS and I found more toys,
4th place (Tin): 2 little Troll dolls!!!
Prior to the medals ceremony, B1 & B2 were both angry AND upset by not winning. Good sportsmanship was quickly regained when they learned they weren't being called 'LOSERS", but "LUGERS".
Teammates & buddies Cheeky & Nehi "hug it out" after the award ceremony.
Victory can be both Sweet AND Cuddly!
[A note: Yes. I'm wedging my stuffed animals into the snow in my yard and taking their pictures. And, yes, the mailman smiled kinda funny when he asked how I was.]

While waiting for his luge run, Cheeky checks out his stiffest competition...
... the 2-man team from Australia, B1 and B2.
For bananas, they make a pretty good pair.

I may be the only person in the world who's adding MORE ice to her driveway, but don't want to make any false claims.
Sock monkey... Monkey sock... there's a message for me in here somewhere.

When you have no television reception, sometimes you just gotta imagine what's going on in the world.

It's been a while since I've posted stuff from my sketchbook, so I thought I'd share a little secret:
I often draw while watching television & movies. So that's the theme for today!
You'll soon see: I watch too much reality TV.
The above: Kate Winslet in the movie Enigma.
The above: Suede, one of the fashion designers from the most recent incarnation of Bravo TV's Project Runway.
The above: Snoop Dog. Without hands for some reason. For no reason. Honest.
The above: One of the real estate agents on that Bravo TV show about... real estate agents. This one is the guy who blow-dries his hair to dome-like perfection, and packs for trips by putting everything in individual Ziploc baggies.
The above: Not so much a "portrait" as it is a "caricature" inspired by that J.G. Wentworth commercial. You know the one. The full-blown opera.
"If you have long-term payments, but you need cash now!"
"Call J.G. Wentworth!"
"J.G. Wentworth!"
"8-7-7 CASH NOW!"
"8-7-7 CASH NOW!"
Then the soprano chimes in.
"I have an annuity..."
I can do all the parts.
Wanna hear?
The above: Dennis Farina. From some Law & Order episode when there was a marathon on.
The above: A fuller-faced Dr. Drew Pinsky from VH1's Celebrity Rehab. Just LOOK @ the concern in his eyes!
The above: Steven Adler, one of the celebrities who's in the rehab. He's the drummer from Guns N' Roses. Or, as my sister Jane calls it: Buns N' Noses.
The above: Another celebrity, Nikki McKibbin, who's a former American Idol contestant.
