I would wear it to the Sock Monkey Festival, and in it I'd have my picture taken with the seven-foot-tall sock monkey. I think that's the kind of adventure I'm going to save until my kid is 11 or 12, so I can max out the embarrassment potential.<br /><br />I haven't read *Sock* or the Tony Millionaire book. I had no idea till now that this entire oeuvre even existed. They're on my wishlist for sure now.<br /><br />Also, I didn't even know that Isaac Mizrahi had a TV show. My ignorance comes from living in the wilds of Canuckistan and from having a crappy cable package, I reckon. I'd love to see this segment, though. I don't suppose there's any chance that anyone knows if it's available for viewing online...?Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613804843380827691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1108084191134157032005-02-10T17:09:00.000-08:002005-02-10T17:09:00.000-08:00Artist Tony Millionaire has done a series of comic...Artist Tony Millionaire has done a series of comic-like books for Dark Horse Comics titled "Sock Monkey"...They're beautifully rendered little stories, like Victorian picture books, and the main character is a very erudite sock monkey. But something always goes horribly, disturbingly awry. Anyway, they're beautiful. Google "Tony Millionaire Sock Monkey" and you can view the gorgeousness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1108065300660172902005-02-10T11:55:00.000-08:002005-02-10T11:55:00.000-08:00Isaac Mizrahi actually did a piece the sock monkey...Isaac Mizrahi actually did a piece the sock monkeys in the book on his tv show. They went to Ron Warren's house to film and he had walls and walls of sock monkeys. It was just a bit creepy--like they could start moving in on you at any moment...Isaac had a dance instructor monkey who kept physically assaulting the ballerina monkey. Bizarre.<br /><br />CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1108064866437266582005-02-10T11:47:00.000-08:002005-02-10T11:47:00.000-08:00Have you read Penn Jillette's book _Sock_?
