Fursuiters are to feature on G4′s Attack of the Show at 7PM Eastern today, in a segment involving footage filmed a fortnight ago at Furry Weekend Atlanta 2011. [time tip: FNN] FWA’s decision to allow filming was controversial, with several dealers complaining that they were not informed of their involvement or given the option to opt-out. Operations director Kiran Lightpaw defended the convention’s choice, saying that G4 was covering ‘the activities of fursuiters’, not making ‘a general “furry convention” piece’: They shot hours of footage featuring nothing but fursuiters, primarily in a private shoot that took place on Saturday afternoon, and a total of about 30 minutes of footage elsewhere in the convention meant to be “B” roll footage, used in gaps or to set the mood. Presenter Sara Underwood led the footage, and commissioned a piece from Artists’ Alley.

Strangeness from the World of Advertising
Recently DirecTV has been running a series of ads featuring a very, very rich gentleman from Russia, showing off his indulgences — including, of course, DirecTV. But the thing that has seemed to get the most attention in the ads is sort of in the background: A little, miniaturized giraffe the fellow has for a pet. Everyone seems to have noticed the little guy, and they’re talking about him on line. So much so that someone (presumably DirecTV) has given the “petite lap giraffe” his own web site! “Welcome to world wide famous Sokoblovsky Farms. The best and only breeders of Petite Lap Giraffes” says the introduction. There are lots of funny pseudo-Russian-isms used, of course (“To be clicking here!”). In addition to historical backgrounds and information about purchasing your own lap giraffe, there is also a 24-hour “Giraffe-Cam” where you can watch the petite bull Vladamir in his enclosure. Yes really.

Kegasus – full-on “Party Manimal”
A year after the Maryland Jockey Club encouraged Baltimore to get its “Preak” on with a feather-ruffling advertising campaign for last year’s Preakness party, event organizers are turning to a spokes-centaur named “Kegasus” to generate interest in the 2011 Preakness InfieldFest, which is May 21 at Pimlico Race Course.
The Maryland Jockey Club announced today in a press release the launch of this year’s InfieldFest campaign, “The Legend of Kegasus,” which centers on a mythical creature that is half-horse and half-man — and a full-on “party manimal,” according to the release. Kegasus will be the voice of the campaign in all advertisements for television, radio and on the Internet, including YouTube and Twitter (www.twitter.com/allhailkegasus).

Alex Vance reads “On the Bright Beach” by Kandrel
Author: toonces
It’s when the darkness seems most severe that the storm clouds start to part and the sun starts to glimmer over the landscape. It’s a scene not uncommon to literature, one that may have provided the opening image for thousands of unpublished works by now. This resonates with people because nobody goes through life without experiencing a winter to thaw out of- it may be a figurative winter, a season in a lifetime, a trial of mood that is met and conquered. Or it might be literal, evincing the real struggle against cold, one that comes on as firm and definite a schedule as the neat grid of any calender would suggest. But you don’t face these winters without learning to recognize the coming of a fairer season.
On the Bright Beach will be that crisp view on the horizon, if you’ve been following our readings. Each story seemed a little more severe than the last. But if thousands of words of the pulpiest story we’ve featured yet doesn’t cheer you up- go outside and get a little sun.

Dragons and Pandas coming to TV
Not long after announcing that the sequel to the wildly popular film How to Train Your Dragon will be released to theaters in 2013, Dreamworks Animation let it be known that a brand new How to Train Your Dragon weekly TV series will be premiering on Cartoon Network in 2012. IGN has a lot of information about the new series up on line. Although we’ve been told that the TV series will feature the same characters in the same world as the feature film, it’s not been announced if any of the cast or crew from the feature will be working on the new series. And speaking of television: Don’t forget that sometime this fall, the much-delayed Kung Fu Panda TV series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is set to premier on Nickelodeon.

Deaf puppy learns sign language
Author: AshMCairo
“Three-month-old Alice, a black and white springer spaniel, is learning non-verbal commands including sit, come and roll over.
She was dumped by a breeder in Ireland at just eight weeks after he realised she couldn’t hear – and was taken in by animal charity The Blue Cross.
Staff were worried no-one would want her because she could not respond to an owner’s calls.
But Alice has found her perfect match in couple Marie Williams, 41, and her partner Mark Morgan, 43 – who are both deaf.”

Festival Tails specialise in innovative fashion accessories. The company has partnered with a Birmingham based social enterprise to manufacture their faux fur tails. Aimed at the hundreds of thousands of people attending this summer’s UK festivals, the tails are a fun, furry accessory that people can clip onto the back of their clothing to add a little colour and frivolity to their outfit. Fancy dress now plays an important role in festival fashion, and a tail is a perfect way to participate without having to pack a complete costume.
Mary Jephcott, owner of Festival Tails said: “The tails concept happened by accident with a makeshift prototype at the Glade Music Festival in 2006. We then commissioned my Nan to make a few tails to wear and share at Burning Man Festival in Nevada, USA. As they were a big hit, in 2010 we decided to expand the idea, make more tails and see if we could bring some tail fun to some of our favourite UK festivals. Nan wasn’t keen to make 1000s of tails so it’s lucky we found Textiles by St Anne’s!”
Textiles by St Anne’s is part of the Birmingham Industrial Therapy Association (BITA Pathways), a charity specialising in rehabilitation services for adults experiencing mental ill health. For Mary it was the perfect opportunity, “We’re thrilled that our tails are being made locally, helping to train and provide therapy through work experience”.
Mary claims “Not only do the tails have aesthetic appeal; they have other advantages too … providing portable padded seating, enhancing attractiveness to the opposite sex and improving dance moves!” After a good reception at Festivals last year, the company is now expanding their 2011 product range to include ears, luxury tails and children’s tails.
You can catch up with Festival Tails on their website www.festivaltails.co.uk or at some of the summer’s best known UK festivals including Glade, Glastonbury, Cornbury, Secret Garden Party, Big Chill, Shambala and Trystonbury.

Best Methods to Come Out as a Furry
Author: AshMCairo
“Over the years, I’ve read numerous stories written by people who wanted to share to the world the story about how they came out of the furry closet. Though my personal experiences were rather painful, I learned from my mistakes — and after reading stories about coming out, I made some observations, took some notes, but until now, I haven’t been able to share my knowledge and understanding of the subject.”
