they did the mash
so, i'm making my next two monsters for henry and kelly. henry sent me a list of things that he thought made something monstrous. what do you think?
this is henry's email response to me in which i solicit his taste in monsters:
it is clear from your last email to me that you define "monstrous" as:
-something possessing glowing eyes and/or cool shades.
And this reveals your narrow mind. Yes, a monster can be monstrous from
its glowing eyes (usually red) and its cool shades. but it can also be
monstrous from the following:
scaly skin
bulbous nose(s)
pointy ears
hair all over the body
claws/talons/fangs
tail, preferably with a spike on the end
access to hard drugs
tentacles or flippers
abnormal height or width
a face on its belly
three extra fingers on its right hand
any kind of tattoo (even temporary)

You've forgotten:
artificial body parts
visible insides
a desire to eat things that others don't eat
mucus
a face-shaped heart

yeah. also, it could be monstrous if it inflicts harm. you could fill it with sharp or exploding objects. i'd think a monster quite monstrous if it cut me or blew off my hand (especially if it was packaged all cute so as to entrap me).
out of curiosity, how would one go about making a stuffed monster that would be monstrous because it had access to hard drugs?
i'd give it hard drugs.
Could you make me a monster that looks like me, but with monster qualities, such as fangs? Like, a plush Carole with fangs and an angry scowl? And maybe some claws and/or antennae. Because my monstrousness is not especially overt, you know. It's the cynical little monster inside you gotta watch out for.
P.S. - I will call you this week.

carole brings up some excellent points:
antennae
scowly angry face
hidden cynicism

Are you using the sewing machine? I'm sorry it's so confusing. If you hate it you can bring it back and put it in my garage.
