Update and reflections
13 years ago
When I first started to build my fursuit in November I really did not know where it would take me. This was also my introduction to the furry community, which I learned of about exactly one year ago. I never thought at that time that I would have participated in it, but now that I have for a couple of months I am definitely pleased with my decision. I have found a place where I can be myself.
To all those that I have meet I am grateful to have done so. I even know now that I am not the only one that likes the kind of music that I listen to. Well there was someone that I had known for a long time who also listened to similar genres, but it turned out that he was a furry as well so that does not really count. Well not everyone listens to the same things (i.e. trip back from quebec city), but it sure does for a fun mix :)
My first experience suiting in December was not even in my own suit, but that of my employer a summer camp and pool management organisation. If you were to look in my gallery I have a picture of that mascot, a big bright yellow sun in shorts. This allowed me to take pointers and get some practice for when I did get Hf done two months later. They, my boss and my other colleagues who had tried suiting in it were let's say impress of my performance. As a result of this initial time I had a second chance to animate in that character over the Easter break. In the end I am now the official performer for this character. I never expected this to occur when I given the privilege to wear him the first time 5 months ago :) .
As for Hf Greyfox, he has now come along and made a total of 4 appearances since it's conception at different meets. I still have some work to do on it and I am learning as I go along. It is a continued cycle of improvements which would have never occurred if I had never started. For sure that I have no more room in the closet, faux fur fibers are everywhere, but it sure makes for a fun ride.
