Frankenstein - New York Dolls

I've got tickets to see the New York Dolls in London this November so I'm using that as an excuse to share this video of them performing their classic "Frankenstein". I always thought that sadly departed bassist Arthur Kane would make a fantastic monster in silver platform boots.

Mary Shelley's description of The Monster

The image that most people have of Frankenstein's Monster is of the classic Boris Karloff version. Mary Shelley's original description is actually very different to the make-up used in that film:
His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!-Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath: his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriences only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips"

I would be eternally grateful for to you send me your own take on the Monster, base it on a movie, a toy or whatever but please be creative.
