Wow, I asked for crazy question guess I got one. Okay, I would be very naughty and much like most pornos I would make you squirm in pleasure. Did you know there is a VERY slick sticky lube in what I believe is Japan that looks like cum? This is perfect for rubbing that member of yours up and down. But before that happens I would of course use toys like the fleshlight and a anal vibrator which I would control with a remote, while looking into your face as you wiggle about. Having you chained to a flat bench which can spin in any direction so giving your member pleasure is easy and of course changes up how naughty one can be. Using that lube for a finale would make you shoot so much all over the place it would be like a shower of cum. To wrap it up, snuggle at the end is always my fav.

Hopefully that helped answer that question fully and in detail. Also, probably the most detail I put into any post EVER ! Forgive my naughty side I can get really bad sometimes.

Zoophilla in the furry world always raises hairs on most furries. But did you know that many are closeted with this act? My stand on this is a blurred one, mostly because from the outside world this can harm our reputation. Remember we always try to uphold our conventions as meeting friends, making crazy music videos and room parties. What do you think? Take a look at this blog post here.

Has anyone ordered a hoodie from these guys? They look good and I want to make sure that I'm spending my money well http://www.canadacosplay.com/

Emmy Award-Winning CBS “Eye on the Bay” correspondent Dave Stoelk came to San Jose in 2011 to do a story on “Other Conventions” in the bay.  Further Confusion was on top of their list.  We had a great time putting together the piece during con.
 
Finally, 16 months later on May 2nd, the results:

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/05/02/eye-on-the-bay-those-other-conventions/

The piece followed the show's format highlighting the fun and wacky side of our con with primary focus on the most obvious visual aspect, fursuits.  While I would have hoped for a bit more information to be shared as to why we exist and what we have done for the community, the segment continues to portray FurCon in a fun and positive light.

CBS News (different from Eye on the Bay) came to FurCon in 2010 and did a wonderful job in providing much of our mission critical information to the public. That piece can be found here:

Cheers and Chirrs!

(The comments to the article are particularly amusing.)

I'm not looking to get a fursuit anytime soon, but I'd like to one day. The problem is, there are a few artists whose style I really like for heads, and others that I like for the way they do their bodysuits (mostly the padding/digitigrade legs). I was just wondering if it's weird to ask for just one or the other, and would people be offended if I told them the reason why? It's not that I don't think they're talented, it's just that their style doesn't quite match what I'd want for my character.

Its not about just furries, but I thought it was important and nice to see us grouped in with anime fans for once. :)



Everyone has a few items in his or her closet that are socially unacceptable to wear. These items sit there on the hangers, collecting dust and waiting for that day when someone finds an excuse to wear them.

GooGee Gasdiel has a million of them. Today she straps on a bikini she made out of beads. Then she pulls up a transparent, neon green netting skirt and ties on her neon green leg warmers.

She puts on an uncountable number of bead bracelets with cute words and phrases—“Are you mad, bro?” or “I’m a mongoose!”

The only difference is that today people aren’t going to give her weird looks for it. If anything, they might say, “Oh my God, that’s adorable,” or “Can I hug you?”

At Anime Central (ACen), one of the largest anime conventions in the Midwest, people are a bit different. They’re not like you think they are, either. “Anime kids” do not consist of of obnoxious girls who don’t brush their hair and run around screaming, “Kawaii desu desu kawaii desu” down the hallway.

They’re just a little more culturally diverse than the general population.

“I really love the people,” said Gasdiel. “I wish that ACen was year round. Everyone’s just super nice. I hate going home, because you go home and everyone’s a jerk again.”

At Anime Central, there are all types of people—whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, gays, straights, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, nerds, preps, Joe-shmoes—you name it. They are so culturally diverse that there are subcategories you’ve never even heard of.

Gasdiel likes to throw herself in the “kandi kid” category. It’s a popular fad inJapanthat consists of rave-goers who make their clothing/accessories entirely out of bright, plastic beads. They trade items made of beads, or “candy,” in exchange for kisses, handshakes, hugs, etc.

Gasdiel could also be called a “furry.” Furries are people who literally dress up like a cat. They wear furry cat ears, cat tails, and fuzzy arm and leg warmers. They’re certainly friendly.

Waiting outside in line for the Saturday night rave at ACen, called the Soap Bubble, Gasdiel talks to people she has never spoken to before as if they have known each other for years. And it’s completely normal.

The line folds back and forth through the building, out the doors, down the block, back again, and around the building. People have to entertain themselves some way or another while they wait, so some walk along the line and high-five everyone. Many people are ambitious enough to hug everyone so they don’t freeze their butts off in their minimal clothing. Nobody questions it.

Farther up the line, a group of people in their mid-20s sings Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” A man is holding a cardboard sign that says “You just lost the game.” A group of girls swings their hips back and forth and dance to “Caramelldansen.” The crowd roars every time the line moves a few feet.

Inside, Gasdiel dances about 20 feet away from the crowd. She’s in a circle with her friends Garett Babler and Ben Wolter, as well as some others who have tagged along. They take turns attempting to shuffle, laughing when they realize they can’t.

She takes it all in—the blaring lights, the bass drop, the furries dancing on the stage. There are four giant screens on each side that read, “Warning: Please do not do anything stupid.”

Looking around the room, a girl blows bubbles, glow sticks are being thrown, and a conga line snakes through the crowd. A man walks up to a young girl and says, “Do you want to see a light show?” His gloves have glowing fingertips, and he twists them around her in a way that leaves her terrified, but mesmerized at the intricate light patterns.

The Soap Bubble ends at about 5 a.m. Gasdiel takes the shuttle back to the Courtyard Marriott and makes it to bed about an hour later.

Sunday morning, there isn’t much left to do after they check out of the hotel, except walk through the main hall, which is called the Dealer’s Room.

Here, vendors have set up booths that sell manga books, professional art, rave gear, costumes, stuffed animals, t-shirts, video games, weapons, etc.

The Rosemont Convention Center also serves as a 840,000 square foot catwalk for ACen goers to show off their costumes, or “cosplays.”

“Some people go as transformers,” said Gasdiel. “They’re so realistic. I also really like the people who go in huge Sonic costumes and Pokemon.”

Gasdiel buys a tiger suit before it is time to leave.

“I just think [ACen] is a cultivation of nice people,” she said. “They don’t judge you on first appearance. You wear a tiger suit to Wal-mart, and people think you’re insane. At ACen, everyone else is dressed just as crazy, so they’re like, ‘Aw, that’s adorable.’”

It’s not just for people who stand out like Gasdiel does. It’s not just for “anime kids” and it’s not just for Narutards, four-eyed introverted girls, and middle aged men who are obsessed with hentai.

Seriously guys; you’re missing out on some hot babes here.

“ACen’s kind of for everybody,” said Gasdiel. “A lot of people think it’s only for hardcore anime lovers, but a lot of people go for the raves and find out it’s really cool. I’ve been going for five years and never really had a bad time.”
