Monkey Pastry Chef

“When wound and the start/stop pull actuated, the incredibly detailed and realistically modeled standing monkey chef begins his performance by looking left then right whilst opening and closing eye lids as mouth moves to speak, lowering head slightly to indicate his latest culinary creation…”

This mechanical wonder (ca. 1880) sold for over $36k in 2014, and was presumably purchased by someone to keep their little brats and pets in line.

Something’s  bonky with WordPress and .gif embeds. Some work, some get clipped, some freeze and don’t work at all. What a shame.

Saturday Matinee – Monkey Business, Blood Sweat & Tears, & Brenda Holloway

Monkey vs. vending machine. [Found here.]

Blood Sweat & Tears had a long string of hits in the 60s and 70s that included this one. “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” was a cover of a song co-written by Brenda Holloway at Motown Records.

Here’s Brenda Holloway lip-synching “When I’m Gone” on the TV show Shivaree in 1965.

That should do it for this week’s video presentation. Have a great weekend, folks.
