This is another one of the late Robert Hill's suits that I've recently been privileged to restore and modele, as you see here n_n
As far as I am aware, she has not been worn since 1992, so that's quite the break!
This one is Leticia the Latex Bat. All of her outfit is original aside from minor repairs, and I'm quite happy she fit so well! I do have to say... I did feel quite sexy wearing this OwO;;
You can see the original picture of Leticia from back in 1992 at this link here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28355928/
There are a few more vintage suits I am still working on, though they will take a bit longer just due to more being required to refurbish them.
For now I hope you enjoy, and perhaps you may see Leticia or Annebelle at a convention soon >w<!!

It's a comfort to know that Letecia has been spared destruction, as has Hilda the Bambioid, who I was told was given to the Haku Hasin creator Jerry Collins, whose daughter is keeping Hilda safe. You did excellent to keep Letecia in good hands with this sexy latex wear.
Mostly all fursuits are like this now. Every fursuit from the mid 2000's is now rotting in a closet in the same way. People grow out of the fandom, or get pushed out or kicked out by 16 year old twitter kids, and the stuff just gets forgotten. The Balto fursuits from 1996 are still MIA for the past 30 years. Nobody knows where they are.
You did such an amazing job restoring these! I remember seeing photos of this suit back before FA even existed! Wow! 🥰🥰🥰
I feel like Robert would be thrilled with all the love and care you put into his legacy! You also wear her very well!
Seriously, all the love! 😁❤️

I'll have to catch up with you sometime at some point still, so you can tell me more about pre FA days!!
That makes me smile to hear it, I'm happy to continue wearing his wonderful creations! And it's even better I don't need to worry about being too shameless in them, I think he would have wanted that too LOL

Absolutely no worries!
Do you find the reminder pings on Bluesky helpful? I know i myself don't mind follow-ups because it's easy for me to lose track of stuff! Please let me know! I also don't want to miss you reaching out! I'd be happy to make the time for you! 😁👍
I know of other folks that'd be excellent contacts about fandom history!

About wearing the fursuit: Right??? Heck, I think the suit couldn't have gone to a more perfect person! How amazing! I still look at this and smile! 🥰

oh man, I'm just now excitedly catching up on all this...I've been so curious and concerned about the whereabouts of these costumes. I didn't know until seeing the bluesky posts going around this weekend that they're being preserved and worn! what a relief!
I'm sure you've already got tons of people asking you about the suits, but I would be so interested if you were to ever do a full write-up on how this came to pass. who they went to after Robert's passing, how they ended up in your possession, what kinds of repairs they required and what techniques you used...so many questions!!
I often think about Shiba the husky, one of my favorite early fursuits. I hope we'll be seeing him too eventually.
thanks not only for caring for these suits, but also for sharing photos with us. I very much look forward to more in the future!
