My annual Oscar Contest is now open! If you pick the most correct answers, you’ll win the big prize: The Monkey with the Dragon Tattoo. Yes, I made Lisbeth Salander Monkey. She has piercings; she has a Macbook; she has a golf club; and she has the titular tattoo. I think this is the most work I’ve ever put into a single monkey! (She’s also the first one that’s probably Not Safe for Work, given the slogan on her T-shirt.) And remember, in the event of a tie, the person that entered earlier wins. So don’t wait too long! Read on for more photos, or go here to enter.Here’s Lisbeth Monkey in profile. Check out that fringe.
Front view. As you can see, she has an eyebrow piercing, a nose piercing, and a lip piercing. She’s also got black spiral earrings and a necklace chain with a razor blade on it. (Special thanks to the Snook, who crafted the razor out of plastic and spray painted it.)
She wears combat boots, of course.
She wears a hoodie over a ripped-up T-shirt. Oh look! She’s hacking on her Macbook.
I wouldn’t piss her off if I were you. Chick has a golf club and she knows how to use it.
If you pull down her T-shirt in the back, you can see her dragon tattoo. (FREEHAND, BABY!)
I told you it was Not Safe for Work.
What are you waiting for? Go enter the contest!

I love the way you’ve captured her inner vulnerability despite the tough exterior :
I just love her tshirt!!!
I really need to get to the movies more often…
Great photos! The simple white background really offsets her lovely eyes. Excellent work as always. I can’t figure out where you find time for all this creativity!
Amazing! Best monkey yet!
Love it! And love the tattoo!
Your monkey is amazing!!
I want to win!!
This has to be the coolest sock monkey on the planet ! …
and the best monkey ever award goes to….
I love it!! 🙂
When we heard it was “not safe for work” we immediately thought it must be Ryan Gossling and the locker room scene from “Crazy Stupid Love.” Oh, well.
I was tempted to do a Gosling monkey. Apparently his jacket from “Drive” is quite iconic
I just hadn’t seen it, and I wasn’t sure my garment sewing skills were up to it!
Love her! Great work Kris.
Love her!
Question– I’m not able to enter the contest via Safari or Chrome…both give me an error of “cannot find oscarcontest.php”
Sweet, can’t wait. Gary Oldman, get me that monkey! 🙂
That’s weird, Leslie! I haven’t heard of anybody else having a problem. (I’m looking at it on Chrome right now.) Can you try it again? Maybe my server was rebooting then or something. There’s nothing that should restrict it to a particular browser.
Thanks for the invite back–SO glad I joined last year…and I hope to continue to join as long as Web-Goddess has a contest; Monkey rulez ;p
my absolute favorite movie of the year and there were a lot of good ones. this monkey is so fracking cool!!!!
This? This is perfection. I needs her.
I love this, sock monkey’s rock!
This year I know very little about any of the movies (why yes, I have been under a rock), so I’ve followed my betting on horses and footy tipping methodology.
But if Bridesmaids wins anything I will be very disappointed.
