monkeh, monkeh, monkeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guess what came in the mail the other day??!

ok, you'll never guess so i will show you:

yes, i received a lovely package from the vicious chicken!!!

knowing how much i adored the teeny tiny pg tips mascots which can't be obtained here in the states, the gracious and generous vc offered to send me one of my very own! as if that wasn't enough, tipsy (for thus i have named him) was wrapped up in the coolest monkeh giftwrap you have ever seen AND came with an awesome note, a tasty snack, and the bit of teabag box which explains his orgins...i think i'll save that, you know, for the baby book! :)

speaking of books, apparently tipsy is a budding writer, and has been penning an account of his first few days in his new home. so now, without further ado, i shall turn today's post over to my young friend, and let him tell his story, his way!

coming to america:

one monkeh's tale of transatlatic trauma & triumph

story, concept, design, art direction & creative stylings

by tipsy the chimp

photos by...that american woman...didn't catch her name...

well, i can't say i find the u.s.a. all that glamorous yet; i hoped it'd be a bit more like "the O.C."! ah well. is the kettle on, love?

help! i've been sent to live with barbarians!

maybe i can post myself home. what's that? flippin' heck--in a box??! do they not have a business class?

thank heaven for good telly! is this the episode with kristin scott-thomas?

at least i can still see my friends! blimey, she's gorgeous......i wonder if she's single?

i s'pose america's not all bad; afterall, it's a big country...with BIG muffins!

i guess maybe i could stick around for a little while!

...and my own room, too? all right, i'm staying!

(no knitted monkehs were harmed in the making of this photostory...however, the iced muffin met with a sticky end!)
