He needs a name. Any suggestions?

the HUNKY JESUS CONTEST was a RIOT OF FUN! Sunny afternoon in SAN FRANCISCO's DOLORES PARK. The hilarious event has been sponsored by the SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE for over 34 years!
THOUSANDS of fun people came to have a great time in Dolores Park.
This year there were about 40 HUNKY JESUS CONTESTANTS cat-scratching for the HONOR of being thorn-crowned by the crowd's vote!
HOMEBOY JESUS, several amazing HUNKY JESUS, SAXY JESUS (yes, he played a sax), BLACK & WHITE JESUS, JESUS on a TORTILLIA (yes, a guy had a HUGE cardboard costume of a tortilla with a hole for his JESUS face to show through!), HONKY JESUS (tres white-trash), and yes, even a little 8-month old BABY JESUS...
It came down to a JESUS rumble with the top two contenders...
A muscle bound, long haired HUNKY JESUS who made the crowd swoon in approval of his HOT HOT BOD....
but the winner was....A very traditional JESUS who had a blow-up doll dressed exactly the same as his JESUSself, which was attached at the waist level.
This JESUS pretended to be rockin' BLOW-UP JESUS' butt muffin and when the SISTER OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE asked which JESUS was he???
"I'm JESUS F*KING CHRIST!"
and the crowd went into absolute roar of laughter and thunderous applause....
the winner of 2011 HUNKY JESUS CONTEST is "JESUS F. CHRIST"!

okay your probably laughing right now. hah. who else but me would put a sock monkey in a boat on a toilet?!? i have an excuse, my parents are on vacation and im at my aunts house so it was either this or nothing. i wanted to do something kinda funny. haha and he has a toilet paper cape!! like it??
This was my pet project for the week! Thank goodness I was doing the much practiced princesses and halloween for much of the other time, so I had more to devote to these! I can think of a FEW things I would change, but overall, I like these gals a LOT!!!
I was asked to fiddle about with my previous Sock Monkey picture.
Specially designed Sock Monkey for me. I thought I'd try it with a different background.
Being understood with no love lost {March 28, 2020 // 70}
My mom didn’t always get all aspects of ‘me’, and she didn’t need to because when I needed her to understand me in those stressful, scary or extreme situations, she always did without me saying much in words. She understood what I was thinking, feeling, what I wanted to do next. In all that, she allowed me to get angry, upset, but more importantly feel what it is that I wanted to feel. She gave me the space to feel and share it all. By the end, she always knew where I needed to be next, physically and mentally.
During her end of life, one moment I remembered was when someone for the 1000th time told me that I should leave the room and take a break. I was so frustrated that people kept saying that. My mom woke up, stared at me, then them, and simply said ’there is no other place she would rather be.’
My mom just understood me. In expressing all aspects of myself, I was never worried about my image or having the love in her eyes change is what I miss the most. With her I could be thoughtless, express and never worry about moving a needle backwards in her heart. Being loved with no loss of loved is a privilege only afforded by a few.

Happy valentines day everyone!! I realize that im supposed to upload this on friday but i went to go see the movie valentines day with my friends. I dont really have anything else to say. . .
bread (crust for mouth)
peanut butter
banana
mini chocolate chips (i would have used regular size if I'd had them)
**Fruit leather cut into the shape of a mouth would be a darling alternative.
I used a bowl as a template for the head and cut the ears and muzzle with kitchen shears.
