When I stayed with relatives in Malaysia, I came across an interesting and eye-catching toy in a cousin’s study. He has a pair of Viking-style striated horns, a stack of googly eyes, gill-like appendages on his back and a person dangling from his mouth! He is a bi-ped with rather long claws. He is the Black Beast of AAARRRGGGHHH, from Monty Python!

I love the colour combination of his skin- the bright canary and aqua body parts makes him quite easy on the eye. (sorry for the bad pun). =P I am wearing a linen T-shirt dress from Massimo Dutti. The man attached to the beast’s tongue appears to be a monk. I have no recollection of this lovely creature in the Monty Python series, I really should review the quirky shows again.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
