Is It Okay to Wear Just Makeup and Ears?

Ask Papabear - Sun 12 Aug 2012 - 21:27
Dear Papa Bear.

Where do I begin. Well. For a heads up, my species of choice is a koala. I've always wanted a fursuit, you see, and I am not sure how I could make one myself (since my current job isn't paid much and I'm young. 15 to be precise). And there's another problem - I wear glasses all the time, just not when I'm sleeping - and can't really go without them without walking into stuff.

But it's come to my head that I could make ears, paws and a tail. Would it be seen as strange if I went to a convention or something with just those 3 aspects and some facepaints? Or would it be okay?

Koala hugs and I send my regards.

Hi, Ashy,

Here’s the short and sweet of it:  

1) Uou can actually have a head designed that accommodates eyeglasses. I know because I have one (I can't wear contacts).  If you're not making the fursuit yourself, talk to the person who is doing it and tell them you need to have glasses on while in suit. You will need to consider things such as possibly adding a fan in the head, and what style of eyes you want so you can see the best.

2) BUT, if you don't go that way, there is certainly nothing wrong with face paint, ears, whiskers and such. Totally fine. In fact, I went to FC and they had some furries as the cast of CATS and they looked great! 

So, either option is cool. Remember! Have fun with it!

Bear hugs,

Papabear

Furries gather in Botanic Gardens

Furries In The Media - Sun 12 Aug 2012 - 18:34


Another article in Bundaberg's NewsMail, dated August 13. It's a brief follow-up to Thursday's article about a furmeet organised by the BundyFur group.

http://www.news-mail.com.au/story/2012/08/13/furries-gather-in-botanic-gardens-bundaberg/

IF YOU went down to the Botanic Gardens yesterday you would have got a big surprise.

It was picnic time for Bundaberg's "Furries" - a group of people who enjoy dressing up in animal costumes.

Spokesman Hayden Grant, aka Bingo Fox, said the event even attracted people from Brisbane.

"We also had five new people from Bundaberg come along," he said.

He said the Furries planned to make it a much bigger event next year.

Looking to kind of be more social

Furry Reddit - Sun 12 Aug 2012 - 17:40

Hey there. 17 year-old Wolf, here. (I know, typical Wolf...) I'm not new to the furry fandom, or anything, but I'm not active in the community, beyond comments on my old account, and an abandoned deviantART page. Thing is - I want to get to know more of you furries out there; but I'm not one for large chats, or forums - even websites. (Hence the abandonment of my devART.) I have a general dislike towards people who are arrogant, egotistical or generally weeaboo-ish, with overuse of emotes and childish-like typing. So yeah, I don't get along with as many people as I'd like to. ANd I know it's my own fault.

Anyway, I thought I would come and ask at the friendliest community of furries I know of on the internet - Will you be my friend? This probably looks really pathetic, but ah well.

For the record, I'm bisexual; but I'm not really one to RP with. I just like having general conversations - Music, movies, video games - anything!

If anyone would like to talk to me, PM me for my Skype.

Thanks for reading!

What should I do?

Furry Reddit - Sun 12 Aug 2012 - 12:57

Me and my two friends Kyle and Dylan are furries. My other two friends Cj and Mike know I'm furry and hate the fact that I am a furry. Since me Dylan and Kyle started hanging out more often Cj got mad at me for not hanging out with him. Mike really didn't care. But now all of a sudden Cj claims he's a furry even though he hates the fandom. Before he called me a fur fag,and said that furries are gay and all that stuff. But now he says he is and Dylan Kyle and me are getting pissed because we think he's being a furry to hang out with us, but he doesn't even now how to be one. What should I do,let him be a furry and tell him how to be one and every thing, or should I tell him he's not one and he's just doing this to hang out with us and be social?
