Monkey Madness Marches On! Kids Need to Read Charity Auctions has a rather seductive simian on the block – a Terrify’n Space Monkey signed by Christina Hendricks, the actress behind Firefly’s two-timing redhead, Yolanda . . . I mean, Saffron . . . no, wait, Bridget!! One of Firefly’s most popular guest stars, Christina was featured in both “Our Mrs. Reynolds” and “Trash,” and currently can be seen on the show Mad Men.
Her plush charmer is 15″ high, wearing a shirt with “Terrify’n Space Monkey” hand painted on the front by our fabulous KNTR kid, Kelly, and proudly sporting a Kids Need to Read mini-button. She’s charming and collectible — but watch out, she might be . . . articulate!
We are grateful to Christina Hendricks for signing our monkey, to Sean Harry of Starfury USA for assisting our organization in acquiring signatures, and to Marty Dwyer and Denise Gary for donating the Space Monkeys to benefit Kids Need to Read.
