   [b]Mostly testing for a pulse here or if there is any interest...Back in the 80's and 90's Scream queens were a thing for many who dabble in collectibles. I did my fair diligence in the genera, and met many of the more well known girls, as well as hoarding a ton of pictures, cards and autographs. One Halloween a local entrepreneur in a nearby town decided to take an old out of business discount store and turn it into a massive bar none haunted house , with celeberity guests. I forget who all appeared, although I do remember talking to Linda Blair as she signed a can of pea soup for me, and googling at the actual mask and truck door used in the original Texas Chainsaw Massecare by Gunnar Hansen …..I was there to see someone else though. In fact I was there an hour early, sitting on the curb with a single red rose for the lady I had come to visit...Monique Gabrielle. I waited my turn and met Monique and talked a bit with her and her manager/ and soon after husband Tony Angove. Apparently the gig at the haunted house wasn't working out as promised, the organizer was seen coming and going throwing fits and the substance of it all was the venue was failing to draw the crowds needed to produce a profit. He had been rude to Monique and her manager a few times while I was there, and was obviouslyhaving a full blown melt down. He seemed to be suggesting he would fail to pay the full agreed price for Monique to appear etc... At the time I worked for one of the local comic Shops,sorting cards, stocking bins and so forth so I thought of an idea for everyone to perhaps ….benefit. I suggested that perhaps Monique and Gunnar could come to the comic shop and do an unannounced appearance and sign autographs, sell pictures and so forth. I put them in touch with the store owner, and the following day voila, it came to be. Monique sold a fair amount and made new friends and so she was happy....the store was happy , and I was the guy who made it happen.....yay me. During the time I spent talking to Monqiue she was keen to sell copies of her print done by Glamor artist Kent Steine….it cost more than anything else on her brochure, the price running to three figures......bear in mind this was the early nineties. I believe the original print run was 500 or 1000 copies...but Monqiue had a surprise for me....mine was an artist's proof....1 of only about twenty if I remember correctly. Monique sold me the print in person , it is hand signed by her, and the artist Kent Steine, and I believe without getting up and checking it is artists proof 20 of 25 Right after I bought it I had it museum mounted, with double matting, acid free backing throughout and UV filtering glass. The mounting and matting etc cost almost as much as the print itself. On the backer of the print, in a small pocket is a hand written note from monqiue, regarding date of sale, that it is from her and is legit etc. (which I am too lazy to drag out and show this instant ) I can provide more images upon rquest of the print as it is now, matted and what not....but testing to see if anyone is into this type of art or has an interest ….if so feel free to ask questions or make an offer http://www.kentsteine.com/ones/monique.htm Kent Steine's website....he apparently is offering the print, itself, for.....375.00 Mine is a much more limited artist's proof.....  |

| Scream queen New Word Suggestion This is an actress who has become associated with horror films, either through an appearance in a notable entry in the genre as a frequent victim or through constant appearances as the femal protagonist Scream Queens are the "B" movie girls who are the eye candy in slasher films, or have secondary roles in movies. For instance Monqiue was the girl in the hot tub in Back to School...and played in Return of Swamp thing, Deathstalker 2, Caged heat, 976 evil 2,Transylvania Twist,...Tracy in the movie Batchelor's party....on and on...… |
