Let it Simmer: The Michael Jackson Story
If you needed any reminder of what made Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, go watch "This is It." The movie, produced from raw footage of practices and rehearsals, sheds a rare glimpse on Michael's brilliance, strive for perfection, and love of his fans.
The movie created a world wide concert tour for Michael and a final curtain call. In it, we get to witness Michael's direction and ability to gently motivate people to join his level of performance.
When rehearsing for "The way you make me feel" he teaches his band how to build anticipation to a crescnedo. After a few trys, Michael pleads for them to "...let it simmer." And with those words Michael imparts pearls of wisdom--for the bandmembers and to us, the audience.
At the end of a long day of rehearsals, the whole team gathers around and Michael reminds everyone why they're practicing so hard: "To teach them [the fans] how to love again."
When MJ died I wrote: "He was planning a huge concert series in London. Turns out he was just practicing for his debut with God."
RIP Michael and thanks for the lessons. Labels: Michael Jackson, MJ, Movies, Reviews, RIP, This is it
Michael Jackson Birthday Bash
 In celebration of Michael Jackson's 51st birthday, my roommates and I are throwing a "Michael Jackson Birthday Bash." We sent out the invite over a month ago to ensure that there's going to be no excuses. It'll be the best party ever thrown at the Taft Suite. My brother, AKA DJ Shnooms, got me the entire catalog of Michael Jackson songs--all 450 of them. Everything from the Jackson 5 to the Jacksons to his solo years. I've got the pleasure of listening to it now and separating it into playlists. I'll post the playlist for you when I'm done. There's so much awesome Michael that most people didn't even know exists. This party is going to be full of, "Michael Jackson sings that song." Everyone's getting excited for their outfits. Marielle will be creating a whole new wardrobe--she's picking up some penny loafers, big white socks--and sprinkling them with some glitter--Black short pants, a white MJ shirt, and a fedora on top. We've even got Alex Feder, of the XYZ affair, coming down from the Big NYC. Labels: Birthday, Life stories, Michael Jackson, MJ, party, Taft Suite, XYZ affair
Our Michael Jackson shirts are rated #1
 We've really appreciated all the love for our MJ shirts. It's meant a lot to us because of how meaningful these are to C monkey. We've gotten a ton of emails and a good amount of bloggers writing about our Michael Jackson T-shirts.I'm going to repost some of them here for you to see: Jessica from Toronto wants us to sell to Toronto so she can pick up an MJ shirt:"I would love to be able to buy one of your MJ shirts if you did relocate to Toronto. Great site though, keep it up, loving the shirts!" Bloggers: -My favorite post came from Karen Watkins of the MoCoScene. She read our blog post, Mourning Michael and wrote: "Micha Weinblatt says in his company blog June 26, 'Since news broke of Michael's passing I have been teary eyed and at a loss for words.' But not for ideas. The master of the wicked double entendre quickly came up with four simple, hip T-shirts in homage to the great one - with V-necks, a first. Straightforward sentiment from Crooked Monkey, another first and an aesthetic winner."  -Coty Gonzales did a top 10 of MJ shirts. Our I heart MJ shirt was # 1! Thanks. - Kelsi Smith from Dedicated Follower of Fashion called our Michael Jackson t-shirts "gems." She added that our Michael Jackson shirts are "stylish [and] a genuine tribute from a company that has always been influenced by Michael Jackson since their launch in 2007 (you can watch their monkey bust a groove and do the moonwalk here - click on the speaker). - Northern Virginia Mag wrote: "You know I’m a huge fan of locally-based crookedmonkey.com" And added: "I couldn’t be happier to let you all know about Crooked Monkey’s new shirts designed in honor of the music legend who, according to Jessica Kades, has long served as an inspiration to the company."  Dexie Wharton wrote that we were the first place she checked for MJ shirts. " They didn’t have them last week because as I found out yesterday from one the CM folks, they were making sure the shirts look perfect. I think you won’t be disappointed with what they came up with." Thanks everyone. Good work Jessica on contacting these blogs. And go ahead and check them out for yourself.

Michael Jackson Tribute V Neck shirts
 The other day we wrote about the process of producing Michael Jackson tees. Since we loved him so much, we wanted to make sure that we were making the best MJ shirts out there--the ones that would honor Michael the most. We've done it. Go check out our Michael Jackson girls shirts and our MJ guys shirts. For the first time ever, we've printed them on V-necks. Let us know what you think. These shirts mean a lot to us. We created 4 guys and 4 girls Michael Jackson Shirts.  I heart MJ V neck Guys t-shirtKing of Pop MJ Sunglasses V-Neck Guys t-shirtMichael Jackson Sunglasses V-neck Guys ShirtMichael Jackson Silhouette Tribute Guys V neck ShirtI heart MJ V neck Girls t-shirtKing of Pop MJ Sunglasses V-Neck Girls t-shirtMichael Jackson Sunglasses V-neck Girls ShirtMichael Jackson Silhouette Tribute Girls V-neck ShirtThey are all printed on Unisex American Apparel Deep V neck t-shirts. For guys, you should order the size you normally order. But for girls, you should order one size lower--if you usually order a Small, then get an XS (b/c they're unisex). If you usually order a medium shirt, then order a Small Unisex v neck. Hope that makes sense!
