CULIACAN, Mexico � Emilia is a 2-year-old spider monkey who wears jeans, crop tops and Armani perfume.
A popular TikTok account documents her busy life: trips to the spa, gym and church, as well as elaborate birthday parties for other pet monkeys, where she might cavort with friends in an inflatable bounce house and smash her face into a carrot cake.
