At a recent convention near me (sci-fi/fantasy, not furry), I finally got some photos of my personal dragon tail and scale shirt with glowsticks all down the spine. I attached a bunch of lobster clasps into the weave specifically so I could do this at parties.

You can also kind of see the spade tip I have on the tail. It's a clear fluorescent green plexiglass, which lights up under black light. (I think someone else's body is shadowing it from the black light in this shot, though. But I so much liked the blue reflections on my shirt in this photo.) I have a few different tips I made to test out different materials, and I tend to swap them out from time to time.

You can see a couple more photos of this over at my Tumblr: http://armoreddragon.tumblr.com/post/77857357422/
