But you can’t very well show up to a children’s event without a child. This summer, a touring group called Drag Queen Story Hour UK has brought the originally American franchise to this country and with it an American style of culture war – and British journalists have been eager to report on the action. The sudden interest in Drag Queen Story Hour, however, has made a child companion an unexpectedly useful accessory for journalists in the field.ĭrag Queen Story Hour events invite children to enjoy a story read by a performer in drag. Long hours, travel and tight deadlines are all radically incompatible with being home at 5pm for the dinner and bedtime routine. This will never happen again.Usually, being the mother of a toddler puts one at a disadvantage in the world of journalism. Upon receiving complaints passed on by the Leader and Deputy Leader, we ceased the performance and are truly apologetic for the distress caused to residents. “This event was arranged by Vision and not Redbridge Council. This is being looked into and a further statement will be made. “We deeply apologise for the offence caused.
Unfortunately one of the animal costumes was inappropriate which we were not aware of at the time of booking. In a statement issued on Twitter on July 10th the library said: “During an event put on at the library today there was a performance by a Carnival Arts Company. When the story is handed down from generation to generation I hope it is Libby Emmon’s version that they read because it is simply genius.
#Goodmayes library monkey full
“It seems clear that everyone involved in planning the event knew full well that a man in a buttless, rainbow monkey costume would be employed to swing his phallus around to help promote children’s literacy.”
The wonder continues throughout the piece with the almost final line making it clear that Redbridge Libraries knew what it was getting itself in for, after a screenshot of some social media posts: The reading event happened in Redbridge, East London, not a million miles away from where I used to work before Covid shut everything down.īut to get the true majesty of the spectacle you have to disregard all the accounts in the British press and instead turn your attention to the story penned by Libby Emmons for The Post-Millenial.ĭoes anyone know of the infamous Redbridge Rainbow arse dildo monkey is on Cameo? Asking for a friend /YAwts9Qqfg- The Wanstead Tap JApparently Boris Johnson met the Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey at one stage of his life – maybe when he was the Mayor of London Redbridge Libraries seemed to think the Medelsome Monkey was a big joke – until people started to complain You’d also be right to wonder just how it was that he was booked to try and encourage children to read. Looking at his outfit you’d be right in thinking it would probably be more suited to a Furries sex party than for dancing between the stacks of books. Look at the colourful spectacle of the Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey ( Picture from Tim Pool’s Twitter) And here’s the butt of the Butt Monkey ( Picture from Dr Jane Harris’s Twitter)īelieve it or not- he is very real but when consigned to the mists of folklore people will wonder whether or not he ever really existed – or whether he is just part of some kind of extra hot Covid – induced dream.Īnd people will wonder just why he was booked for an appearance at a library. It was the way for Cinderella and Snow White and it should also be the way for the Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey. A good fairytale stands the test of time, passed down from generation to generation, over hundreds of years.
