When Crib Rock launched the LEGENDS collection of tees and onesies earlier this summer, we couldn’t have possibly imagined that the world was about to witness life imitating art.  Suddenly, Cryptid sightings swept the country to the extent that a week can’t pass without a new folklore legend being photographed, video taped, unearthed or washed ashore.

As I reported in an earlier post, this seasons Monster-rama kicked off in Hollywood with sequel films like “The Mummy,” featuring Yetis and Dragons and the “X-Files,” which set the tone for all things dark and mysterious. 

Then in late July, ”Monty” the Montauk Monster drifted onto the shore of a once peaceful beach community and monster madness was officially underway.  Good old Monty spawned a national obsession first covered by Gawker.com and quickly followed by every other media outlet in the world.  Was it an alien? A mermaid?  A demon?  Viral marketing ploy? Photoshop hoax?  Speculation continues to mount daily.

Not to be outdone by the cryptid from the east, in early August, El Chupacabra made a rare, surprise daytime appearance in Ceiro, Texas, which fortunately for us was captured for prosperity by the dashboard cam of a police cruiser.  The footage is considered so “credible” that it’s currently making the rounds on CNN.  Many have noticed that the dessert creature’s profile is remarkably similar to that of a Chupacabra-like creature found last year, which scientists debunked as a type of bald coyote.  Yikes.  And I thought the LEGENDS Chupacabra tee was scarey.  Fortunately, we’re located in California where coyotes are fairly small, have nice, fluffy hair and don’t suck the blood from goats; although they are bad news for cats, small dogs and unsupervised toddlers. 

Not to be left out of the monster milieu, professional Sasquatch trekkers claim they’ve “got proof” that Big Foot exists in Georgia.  Not to be particular, but as our friends at GeekParenting.com recently taught us, when Big Foot is in the Texarkana region (I think Georgia qualifies) he prefers to go by the name Boggy Creek Monster, or BCM to his homies.

What makes this Boggy Creek news flash even more shocking is that it distracted Perez Hilton from pressing Hollywood matters…indicating to me that Big Foot has clearly surpassed the popularity of another elusive creature of the night, Amy Winehouse. 

I think we’re only days away from Scotland’s Lochness Monster, Japan’s Reptilla and the enormous Nordic Kraken demanding equal time in the spotlight. To assure the public that Crib Rock is not part of a Montauk marketing conspiracy, we’re helping the kids get their back to school monster fix by offering free shipping on all LEGENDS Tees, Onesies and Wall Stickers throughout September when purchased here at Crib Rock Couture & Decor.

BTW, the Bigfoot Trekkers are holding a press conference Friday and promise to shed some light on the latest dark chapter of our cryptid-filled summer. Keep your doors locked and we’ll keep you posted…
