#011 Germaine the Gorilla
"Germaine is an OAG with attitude. She’s everyone’s surrogate grandma; she has a toy box full of wonders that she has collected over 60 years of babysitting and that has fired the imagination of hundreds of children. Her blue eyeshadow tells of an undying pride in her appearance and is so thick on her eyelids that many debate as to whether she washed it off. To keep herself in shape she marches over five miles a day looking through the neighbours’ windows, always perfectly made –up, with her trousers tucked into her socks and rain cap on."
