I got this stuffed animal in a claw crane, I'm a master at those (:
Besides resizing this is unedited, I'm not in the mood to edit. It's fine as it is....
Me, Doug and Allison outside at Peelander-Z. We're all roommates now, that's why it's funny. Like Three's Company. Get it? Shhhh...
It looks like I'm being "given evils" by this monkey but infact this sideways glance was fleeting, these macaques find eye contact threatening.
Rescued from a medical research laboratry in 2000,monkey world have several stump tailed macaques who arrived at the park overweight and with almost non existent social skills having being kept individually in small cages. Although these are not the pretiest monkeys to look at it is heart warming to see them going about their activities , grooming and generally appearing to be enjoying their relative freedom together; after so many years of their lives being used for this research. In my mind it is like an old folks home with love and care is on the menu everyday.
Also known as “Bear Macaques” or “Ugly Monkeys”, The Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre has rescued two groups of Stumpies – now totalling 11 individuals all from British Laboratories. Both stories are sickening and it really surprises me that this still happens on our own doorstep! Rescued in 2000, the first group were kept in small individual indoor cages and used for asthma research; some of which had been there for over 20 years… considering these primates weigh between 9 – 15kg, you can only imagine how uncomfortable they must have been... (please see continued story below)
During this part of the show Peelander Yellow opened a large suitcase full of broken drumsticks and metal things for us to play on stage. I ended up with a handle-less frying pan. It was awesome.

Last post of the night. The Ugly Monkey. Sure, it’s fun to be all adult and drink fancy cocktails.. but you also need to cut loose sometimes. So.. dance on the bar, shot wheel, liquor slushies, jello shots, hula hoops. Proof to my daughter one day that I’m hip with it. I enjoyed spending my day with you all, hopefully showing some new places, celebrating my family and my life. Follow me @cameron_jade for insta & @camdebruyn for tweets. Or for real news my husband @jasondebruyn. I’ll leave you with this: enjoy your life, be a little ridiculous and SMILE! And remember, calories don’t count on your birthday, holidays, eating while standing up, while carrying the @rdubaton, at sporting events or at the state fair #rdubaton #debruynsdoingstuff #uglymonkey #dtr #lovethelifeyoulive #datenight #dance #rdubaton #rdu #rdubatonmamasgroup #momlife ✌ @cameron_jade Passing off to @bethany_morgan8 / on Instagram www.instagram.com/p/Bi515fsHgYN/
Peelander Yellow is filthy. I don't even want to think about how often those outfits don't get washed.
