Me in a members only jacket and a monkey in a space suit. Somewhere in Spain, probably Madrid. Early 1980s.

you should ask someone who does photoshop, if they could put a drink in your hand or a european beer(from the time).
Not a monkey
You look like Nicholas from eight is enough.
I was scrolling and literally thought “this is the coolest photo I’ve ever seen”. Congratulations internet person!
looks like a sick album cover
Uncle Larry’s hooked on ice again…
That monkey’s cool as shit.
I hate too see this, this was popular in the 80 and 90.
This wont be seen anymore, because the animals were abused to do this for money for the photografer
This would have been perfect in a lot of ways without it, but the Member’s Only jacket to top it off? 👨🍳 😚 🤌🏻
That monkey could have ripped your head off!
Mac and me 2

Someone help me find the monkey. I can only see primates in this photo.
Alright everyone, it took some time but we finally found the coolest motherfucker of all time.
How does this moment transpire in your life and you only have a vague recollection of the decade and country?
where’s michael jackson in this picture?
Nope
Cute chimpanzee. He looks like he’s dressed up as Ham.
Y’all made me spend more time looking at this picture and thinking about this monkey. And I closed my eyes and I trees to empty my mind. That I stared at this picture.
1. This monkey is going to be on the street with a handler regardless of whether I pay for a picture. And the monkey is probably treated better when it’s earning, so by paying for this, I helped the monkey. THIS monkey. I know I contributed to the demand, but on this day I helped this monkey.
2. I remember this happening now that I’m seeing the picture again for the first time in 25 years. I remember that I was hesitant, and I was standing to the side, up on a short step in front of the wall that those guys are sitting on. And I don’t think we had actually agreed to pay for the picture. I think the guy put the monkey on me and it grabbed my neck very firmly and I could feel the guy letting go and monkey is basically about to be hanging from me, so he knew how to be held and cuddled up. He was heavy but my arm slid under around him very easily. And then I think the guy wouldn’t take him back until my dad agreed to take the picture, and pay. (My dad was the tourist with a suede camera bag, so the guy knew he had a camera and fancied himself a photographer who can’t deny having a camera to try to get away.) I wasn’t scared, it wasn’t like “pay the ransom or this is gonna start to hurt,” I was like, “this is freakin rad, he is heavy but I could hold him for a while.” And it’s not like I was a random pedestrian that got surprised and hustled. We were hanging around, interested in the monkey, so it was more like pushy sales.
This was several years before your encounter with Obi-Wan, yes..?
This reminds me of “The Umbrella Academy” for some reason, so I’m guessing OP has some kind of super powers.
Funny, before I read the headline and had only scrolled halfway down the photo, I thought just from the tops of the buildings “That looks like Madrid”
Spent a year living there in my late 20s. Best year ever. Never met any astro-monkeys though.
This is violently ‘80s.
That monkey looks very serene
Initiation to the Space Monkey Mafia.
That’s not a monkey…monkey has a tail
Ha ha it is Bob O. ha
He’s wearing little space monkey shoes too! The eighties was just different. Man.
The shoes that monkey is wearing are the real stars of the show. Lol
I’m sure you meant Chimpanzee?
