The TENTH Annual Web-Goddess Oscar Contest

w-g Oscar Contest 2012

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.

Lisbeth profile

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.)

Lisbeth front

She wears combat boots, of course.

She wears a hoodie over a ripped-up T-shirt. Oh look! She’s hacking on her Macbook.

Lisbeth hacking

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.

This was a new recipe for us! The Snook made it up in the crockpot in the morning before work. He left out the flour to make it low-carb. We had it with some cauliflower mash. It was a really nice dish to come home to, and it made plenty of leftovers. Highly recommended!
