In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when it’s feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, As endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moistures of the Earth,and the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock - old as creation, and it magically became fertile… Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a stone monkey… The nature of Monkey was irrepressible.

A Dress for Masochistic Runway Models
By: Dayna Spinner
Nothing says “stay away” like a dress made from pins. Widow, a statement of love and loss, screams defensiveness. This intense design constructed of 10,000 dress maker pins and black Napa leather would have made Alexander McQueen proud.
