Not a seaman, the closest I can categorize this nautical knot is a Monkey Fist, which I though was tied mainly to weight a rope end for line toss. Obviously, you can anchor a line with a Monkey Fist, as well as make it look something like a Half-Windsor Necktie Knot. In any event, it…
With a touch of both Tommy Bahama and monkey business fixture monitoring ongoing here on FixturesCloseUp, this branding and propping could not be overlooked. I cannot guarantee all are part of Tommy Bahama propping and branding, but they look to be. Originally I took a second reverse-angle shot of the Monkey-cum-Vase, but it showed a…
As a fellow primate of the family hominidae, I too am overwhelmed by Jean choices in Apparel Retail. Boot or Straight Cut, Fitted or Loose Fit, Low-Rise or High-Waisted, deep Indigo Blue or Stone Wash. Lucky my wife makes all fashion choices, leaving me to think my other monkey thoughts.

As a long-recovered cigarette smoker, I was actually tempted to take up this new habit. But remembering how hard it was to quit smoking originally, I…
I loved the alliteration, creative misspelling, typography and the playful Simian of this Munki Munki® departmental branding. I just couldn’t get enough of it. And if it can be said of Monkey’s, Munki Munki’s informal style “leap frogged” the classy yet impersonal Kipling® competition. CLICK through the thumbnail and gallery views for more Munki Munki business. I…
Doing more with less always impresses me. as with this Branded Harry Barker Monkey Fist Merchandising Display. The sale of Monkey Fist nautical knots as Dog Toys takes a prize in minimalism.
