Fall fashions

October 5, 2020 by Katelyn

Jamie has a love for occasionally wearing troll scarves and it seemed like every time we saw her today she was modeling a different one. Of course, as you are probably aware if you’ve been following us for long, we certainly don’t advocate chimpanzees (or any other wild animal) wearing human clothing. Prior to her three decades being used in biomedical research, Jamie spent the first nine years of her life living in a human home with a trainer, sadly being used in entertainment. It makes sense that some of the perhaps more human-oriented enrichment we provide the chimpanzees may be familiar or interesting to her. But that’s exactly the difference. The enrichment we provide the chimpanzees is just that, enrichment for them to choose to engage with when and how they find interesting, including the choice not to engage with it at all.

Beautiful and creative, we couldn’t love the unique and kaleidoscopic individual she is more. And I’m pretty sure troll scarves will be the next fashion trend, so just remember you heard it from Jamie first:

      I think she looks adorable with her troll scarves, I don’t think she is copying human qualities maybe childish ones. It is adorable.

    Oh Jamie, have I told you lately that I love you? Who else would change into a dressier scarf for lunch?

    I really enjoyed Jamie’s Monday fashion show. I must admit, however, that I saw the title and expected scarves, headband belts, tutus, hats, toe socks, etc. As much as I liked, that first closeup picture is gorgeous.

      I’ve been waiting for another tutu, as well. Bet Honey B would also like a tutu

    She’s smiling! Obviously she knows how beautiful she looks, but changing several times a day is priceless…just wants to get the right colour for the occasion!

    Love this fashionista?

    Just curious, does Jamie make these fashion creations by herself or does she have a little help? Either way, they are very stylish!

      Hi Gail, we humans make the troll scarves, but Jamie ties her scarves in a variety of knots and bows herself. 🙂
