bimbo box.jpg, originally uploaded by Reversible Skirt.

all I want is to have one of these in my home. for dance parties. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK.

This is the second I've come across, the first lives in an antique shop on Royal St. in the French Quarter. Internet research turned up a similar one except with clowns rather than monkeys. The monkeys are friendlier.

And they were made in Germany (West Germany at the time). Dear Santa, please please send me a Bimbo Baby Box Cuban Monkey Band with woodgrain finish.

I am pretty sure the Musée Mecanique in SF has one of those.

Psst psst, fabulous pictures! It's Liisa - Rick spilled the beans and said you were on lj. I think like, everyone who was hanging out on Monday was, which is always weird! Anyway, I'm adding you! Most of my entries these days are about, like, hanging out on my front stoop with my neighbors and freaking out about grad school, oh rah. :)
