I'm considering getting into it (especially lolita) but I was wondering.... does weight matter? I know that someone weighing close to 300lbs probably shouldn't dress as Rei or Asuka in a plug suit but what would you all consider too heavy? I currently weigh 185lbs and am 5'6" with an hour glass figure. I plan on trimming down a bit just to keep from buying a whole new wardrobe or residing my wedding band again :/ Any thoughts opinions or funny picture links/ examples are appreciated.

Name:
AnthroCon 2011
http://www.anthrocon.org/

Dates:
Wednesday-Monday

Hotel:
Courtyard Mariott

Primary Purpose:
To sell in AA, have fun and meet as many people as I can!

Fursuiting:
When I have free time and possibly to the dances.

Which Costume(s):
Amethyst - It's the one on the right (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5697314/)
Feathers (Not yet made but might be by AC)

Do you speak while costuming:
I do but I'd rather not since it dries my mouth out way too fast and you generally end up having to repeat yourself :/

Are you ok with physical contact while in costume:
I'm cool with hugs and such but nothing of a sexual nature or being picked up. You can lift me up out of suit but in suit it's just too scary!

Do you have a craft in this community:
Traditional work. My specialty is making the macabre cute :3c

Can I talk business with you while at the con:
Good heavens yes! It's AC after all :3

Can I buy you dinner, gifts, drinks, art or anything to show gratitude:
You're more than welcome to buy me food and other such things but I usually don't take things for free. You can barter for commissioned work depending on what it is. The main thing is that if you get me something it will not go unpaid.

Are you Single or in a Relationship:
Oh I'm very much taken. Murried in fact to  totavalus

Where can I find you if I need something:
Not sure. If I owe you something I will be taking your contact info and notify you as soon as it's completed. Bothering me prior isn't a good idea as it makes me feel like I have to rush. I will try to be in AA as much as I can manage but otherwise I will try to be suiting. I'm a purple cat. Can't miss it.

Do you attend parties:
Negative. You can invite me to one if you'd like but if booze is involved I won't be going. I would be flattered but inebriated people are not fun times for me ^^'

Do you attend the dances:
Yes I do! I don't really dane as much as wiggle and sway but I love hearing the music. I generally go to them in suit but might have to pass on that save the fursuit dance. I worry about the summer heat.

Who will you be spending the con with:
Well I know I will be pestering  bloodhound  animeamy  ponyponypony  ritsuka  jelloblue  zenny0004  jousterl and anyone else I might meet :3

Are you cliquey:
I am in a way. I will latch onto a group if someone I find unappealing approaches me... otherwise no I am not cliquey.

Are you approachable:
I like to think that I am but most people say I look angry most of the time. If I am mad I would let you know in a cordial manner.

Murr/yiff:
Umm, no. Just no. Although I say "murr" a lot I don't actually do that with anyone other than my husband.

Can I room with you:
My room is 100% full but I am looking for room space both Wednesday and Monday. Please please PLEASE contact me if you or anyone you know has space.

Running or attending any panels:
Not running any but I will at least be attending  bloodhounds "How to Be a Good Commissioner" panel and  chillymouses "Figure Drawing" set. I'll be posing for the clothed one but might come early for the fursuit one and stick around for the nude one. It will really depend one what's going on that day.

Dealers Den/Artist Alley:
I will be in artist alley selling a couple things and taking commissions. I'm going to do my best to not take on too much more than I can handle. Made that mistake at FCN.

Will you be in the "Fursuit Parade":
I don't really want to be since it's omfg way too long. I might pretend to take pictures of other suiters in the parade while in suit though. It also depends on how I feel and if I meet up with people I want to hang around with while walking the parade.

Just stretched my lobes to a 10g! Well on my way to a 4g or beyond :3 For some reason the right ear is a lot harder to get in then the left but the left has more holes (only 1 more). Hmmm. Anyway, it makes me happy :3

At AC2011 I will be creating my very first commission based themed sketchbook. There are several artists that will be in attendance that I want to draw in my book but there's only one book (which I want to remain so... keeps me from spending too much >.>) and so much time each artist can spare. Do you all have any advice for me? I'm kind of curious what the turn around rate is for them (since I doubt Michelle Bright or Keovi would text me when it's done... or if they even take such commissions >///>).

Where are you staying?
Sheraton

Who will you be with?
Rooming with and

I will be in Artist Alley most of the time trying to make some money for food. Otherwise I will be clinging to Skye, Sunny or Shiny for morale.

Do you do art trades?
I do if I am not busy and like you style :3

What suits will you have?
Amethyst

Do you talk in suit?
I do but prefer not to as it dries my mouth out faster causing an annoying need for water drinkage X3c

Can I touch you?
You'll know when it's not welcome :P

Can I talk to you?
Of course you can! I love talking to new people and making new friends. My second reason for going to cons really.

Can I buy you lots of drinks?
No alcohol it does not good things to me... seriously :,C

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Hugs are always welcome unless you're umm creepy?

How tall are you?
5'6"

You look pissed off out of suit. Can I come up to you?
I'm rarely pissed off though most people say I look it. Of course you can come up to me just no bum rushing.

Are you cliquey?
Sort of but it just depends on if our interests co-mingle.

Can I stalk you?
Hell no you can't.

How long are you going?
Friday - Sunday though I'm not sure when arrival and departure are.

Do you have an artist table?
No, I'm going to be in the Alley. I'm not good enough to be sheltered in a den.

Do you like parties?
I like music but not drinking or drugs. Yeah I'm a goody two shoes -_-'

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Say Amethyst or show me something cute. I love cute and derp.

Badge #?
I forget but why on earth does that matter? Oo

Follow me here and leave your opinion behind :3c -> http://smonda.livejournal.com/17105.....tml?mode=reply

So I might need a hotel room but I most certainly need a ride. The theme is "Japanese History" and will be held at the Novi Shearton (same hotel as last year) April 8th through the 10th. Registration is $25 until March 12th! Room rates are only $99/nt and it's only a 5.5hr drive from Louisville :3

Alright guys, there's been some really cool hybrids floating to the surface here on FA. Here are a couple I've discovered the past couple of weeks :3

Synn, the wolf peacock ->http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4128880/
Deerphin, a dolphin deer ->http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4318274/
Catalopes, antelope cats ->http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4887325/

You all seen anything as or more interesting? I'm definitely going to doodle these at some point due to there awesomeness!

So I want Jason to go to furry conventions with me (he's gone to AC07 and FWA09) and he always poses the same question. What would he do while I'm in Artist Alley or suiting? I really can't think of what he could do besides see the city by himself which would make me feel terrible. He's not really a furry but loves to drive/ travel. Do you all have any suggestions? Is there really no solution to this problem?

I must say I was pleasently suprised with the over all atmosphere and turn out for a first time con. Of course I had my doubts like a lot of people did but I went and had a great time. The staff was courteous and seemed to enjoy the suiters. We were there while a 50th family reunion, military training and a church service went on in the none con areas.

The break down goes something like this. (courtesy of )

350 attendees for the first year
60+ suiters in the parade
11 dealers in the den
14 artists in the alley

I suited more than I had at my previous two cons and I was run ragged my friends. and put me through the paces and I jsut couldn't keep up with them but it was fun trying! I got to help out my friend suiting for her first time in her partial, Gibson (aka Gibby). Lots of fun was had at the Friday night dance, lemme tall ya ;3

Artist alley was SUPER small but we all managed. I was present along with , , , , , , , , and several others whose names I can't place or can't find on here (Darius & Regi *cough cough*) at various times. It was cozy but we did okay. I came out with $80 but it's all gone -u-' I enjoyed working with those that commissioned me though! I really appreciate it!

Finally a shout out to my new hommies!
- oh my goodness! Too hot for words with sexy art and an adorable beebee to boot XD I can definantly see why enjoys you and your mans company *nods*
- snarky yet grounded and very humorous with of course, a hot wife >.> I was amused at how you seemed to be doing laps with the "Moose" the last day of the con. It kept me going, for reals.
- *Grins* Such a sweet guy! Always postive and caring and prepared to do whatever is needed to get the party started!
- A super sweety with an adorable suit to match! I was very impressed with your suit drawings. Mine totally failed XD Unparralleled energy away! (Sorry Skroy, he wins XD)
- I finally got talk to you! Life changing man, really. I hope I didn't aggravate you too much. Your company was always a joy to have, no foolin'! <3
- I was so shy to talk to you! Good thing is so ballsy XD Hope to see you at another con so we can actually chill. Maybe I'll have my spaniel done by then >.>'
- I still can't believe you were the youngest! Not even now :D You were so great to suit with and had a disposition to match! I was really sad to hear you had left and didn't get to say goodbye. I understand why you left but I hope you know how much I appreciated letting me be your co-pilot up & being my suiting partner in crime! I'm still commissioning you... we shall talk, friend.

*Sighs* I apologize if I forgot anyone. The weekend is some what of a happy bright purple blur. If you like comfy cons with a chill atomsphere during the day and a party one at night I HIGHLY recommend you go next year!
