Cool photo of the day

The Monkees listening to Jimmi Hendrix!!! What a groovy picture!

FLASH MONKEES FUN FACT!!!

In 2006 Micky Dolenz provided the voice for Snuggle bear, the Snuggle fabric softener mascot!!

Snuggle bear is pretty cute...

...but I'd rather snuggle up with Micky!
How about you?

April Conquest!!!

Today the local TV station played The Monkees get out more dirt.

A great episode featuring the lovely Julie Newmar of Cat Woman fame as April Conquest.

Which brings me to my topic, her hair, makeup and clothes were fabulous!!! 

No wonder all four boys fell for her!

Isn't this just the most divine dress you've ever seen? Though not clear in the picture, the outfit is completed with a pair of Twiggy-esque disco ball type earrings which were very big in the sixties. Towering curls and silver eye shadow complete this look.

I really like this photo because in it you can appreciate the subtle boldness of  April's makeup. Silver shadow on the eyelid, pale taupe on the orbital bone and subtly winged gun metal grey for the contour. The same shadow used for the eyelid is also used to line the bottom lash line. The upper lash line is done in thin and subtly winged charcoal or dark brown liner. The finishing touch is mascara and false eye lashes.

 This outfit is just too cute, a mustard yellow sleeveless sweater paired with orange and white polka dot capri pants. And take a look at those orange Mary Janes! 

Delightful Monkees fashion moments!!!

Micky Dolenz in his poncho which he later revealed was actually a table cloth  in which he cut a hole!!!
What an innovator!!!

Peter wearing a multi-colored polyester acrylic blend nehru shirt with scooped collar  and front closure. Accented with a beaded necklace.

Peter and Davy wearing some awesome Nehru shirts, Peter paired his with a lovely native american seed bead necklace.

I really love this picture because in it you can appreciate the texture of their garments, Micky's poncho appears to be silk or silk imitation and Davy's shirt looks to be an acrylic and cotton or polyester cotton blend.

Will drinking milk give me strong bones and make me as stylish as Davy?

The ever so stylish Peter Tork rocking a striped sweater in his signature color paired with burnt red skinnies and cream colored moccasins.

      

NEZ!!!

"Not only were the Monkees not a hoax to me, I thought it was first class landmark television and I have always been proud of it."

-Mike Nesmith-

Whenever I hear this song, I feel as if Mike were singing to me and only me.

I hope it makes you feel the same way!!

Monkees fun facts!!!

The Monkees was originally to star either The Lovin' Spoonful or The Dave Clark Five but seeing as both bands had prior engagements, a casting call was done to form a new band.

The chords of "Listen to the band" is actually "Nine times blue" backwards.

In 1967 The Monkees sold more albums than The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined.

Besides The Doors, The Monkees were one of the first bands to experiment with the Moog synthesizer in their music.

The address of The Monkees beach house was originally 1334 North Beechwood Ave. but in episode #17 "The case of the missing Monkee" it was changed to 1438 North Beechwood Ave. due to a continuation error on the part of the show's writers.

The Frodis caper was directed by Micky Dolenz and was about marijuana!! If you notice, Frodis the alien is a green plant that emits smoke which elicits feelings of peace and well being when inhaled!!

For all the Ellen Farnsby's out there
