Monkey tucked inside bra turns heads

A woman turned a few heads when she walked into a rural Virginia courthouse in the United States with a tiny monkey wearing a pink-and-white dress tucked in her bra.

The woman brought the palm-sized marmoset to Amherst County Courthouse for a hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and officials apparently failed to notice the monkey until she went to an office to complete some paperwork.

In an interview with The News and Advance newspaper of Lynchburg, the woman says the marmoset is seven weeks old and requires constant attention.

She bought the animal on an online auction site and had its clothes specially made.
