I so want to suit up with you :)

I love random suiting!

Love the bell on the collar :D I had one like that till it broke ;-; Didn't even know either because I was in suit.

I adore my giant bell, it's so great for expression.

^.^ yeah it does go well with your suit :) If I ever go to more American conventions I'll be sure to get a hug and poke the bell :D

Lil' cutie.

:3c

:D

That's amazing Fay! I love your suit!

thanks

thank you :3

You're gonna get drunk?

nah, that's water, lemonade, and syrup stuff in the background, our wine section was an aisle over, but I didn't want to get in the way near a ton of glass.

This is the only suit that doesn't creep me out. :3c

success!

I love working with kids while in suit, they love suits.

That's awesome, Fay. I'm surprised the locals don't get freaked out or toss you weird looks. I guess they're used to it?

Well I asked my boss if it was alright beforehand. She said it was cool. I do get some odd looks, but I try to mostly stay out of the way, avoid people uninterested and play with the kiddies or those that are interested.

If/when I get a fursuit I'd like to do stuff like that but we have a bunch of little thugs around here that would try to mess with me. I'd hate to dump $1000 + on a suit for some jackass to mess it up.

Yeah. you always have to do your research and pick where you're going with care

Pretty much. I'd likely only got suiting at cons or if I visited friends.

I wish I could get out more often

Try fursuiting in the during hunting season and tell us all the fun adventures you'll have if you make it back alive. ^-^ :V

trufacts, a guy passed me in the store and said "better watch out. it's hunting season"
:p

I actually had someone make a very similar comment to me today while I was suiting.

He was all like "Watch out for guys in orange jackets, they might get confused!"

While I found it amusing, the guy seemed dead serious. Does he think people are really that stupid? (And besides, I was in a city park... not like people are hunting there, lol)

Those eyes....such evil...(They do look cool though)

I don't want to clutter up Fay's comment page, so if you want to talk about this feel free to note me, but I really can't understand how people keep thinking the eyes on my suit are scary. It kinda bugs me. I think it's cute.

awwww

:3

thanks

Cute!

Thanks :3

That's pretty awesome that you do a lot of impromptu suit performances.

It's really fun when you do all the preparation beforehand. Not gonna lie my "impromptu" stuff usually has me taking a couple hours the day beforehand to get all the right permissions.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the beforehand permissions stuff. XD I probably should have typed that it's awesome that you do a lot of suit appearances outside of cons. I bet it really brings joy to folks.

Yeah, when it's done right it can be a great experience for everyone. That's why I rage so hard when I hear about the suiters that think "I will just go to the park and play with the kids" or "I will just walk into the mall!" because they don't think "hey, parents might not want a random stranger in a mask around their kids."
It's a fine line being available for fun and not pushing it to be annoying and intrusive and too many furries will just put on a suit and think they can just go.

I wish I had a costume so I could apply to do volunteer performances in my hometown. We have a lot of spring and summer celebrations and festivals here.

Looove this :3

Are you at a world market store?

Yes! damn you're good.

It's just the background looks very similar to the wine department.

yeah the wine department is literally on the other side of the aisle.

SOUPS!

aww cute suit

thanks

Most adorable Fay X3 I wish I could suit haha

Nope! That's MOST CERTAINLY not a World Market. The Torani syrups being next to the purified water totally didn't give that away -at all- :D

Apparently people know world market better than I thought

Fay usually I'm terrified of any kind of suiting (like I punched goofy terrified >_>), but these pics are kind of helping me not to be.


(Doesn't mean that the first con I go to I will be all lovey dovey like a lot of people are. I most likely will sit in a corner and try not to die. x.x I already told CC he has to come with me. xD)

haha yeah. funnily enough I used to be scared of mascots too.

but you can still have fun at cons, suiters tend to go to the people giving them more attention.

fursome :D furstuit my fine fur

Add another few bonus points to your awesome-list. ^___^

aww yeah, I'm saving up for a jetpack.

thats just awsome :P so what did you buy :D

mars bars, a chocolate orange, some french lemonade a couple of ramune drinks and a little game for my sister.

I don't think I would ever have the courage to be that furry in public like that XD

not that hard when you're covered up head to toe.

Yeah true so you can be as silly as you want and whatnot without feeling something dying within you since you're anonymous.

yup. I always had a flair for performance anyway. you just have to stop worrying so much about what others think

Yeah, and that's something I have trouble with - I constantly worry about what others think, even though it's never a big deal. Like I always worry about if anyone can hear my metal blasting through my earphones at work, if people notice my Legend of Zelda: Twilgiht Princess lanyard (yes I have trouble socializing so I tend to try to wear things and hope people notice and ask about it. *foreveralone.jpg*). I was thinking of putting my fursona inside my laminated card case that hangs from the aforementioned lanyard, too. That would look a lot like a furcon badge.

Ohmai! DOn't looks so innocent! What are you buying? Oh the bell is a nice touch ^^

just some candies and drinks

Sweet stuff for a sweet guy :3

Ohmai! Can't believe I made this mistake again! Sowy FayV ^^ *Blush blush* Well she is very cute and sweet :3

Now I know you said this is where you work, but just out of curiosity, when you do call for permissions at a place you don't work for, how do you usually go about explaining your intentions?

There's a few private establishments around where I live that I think would not be opposed to my being in fursuit, as long as I let them know in advance, but I've been stuck trying to decide how I should explain what I want to do and why I want to do it to them.

Depends on my plans.
With my boss I explained that I have this costume and sometimes like to go around to stores in it, then I asked her if that's okay, showing her a picture of what it looks like.

When I go bowling I usually just call ahead the day beforehand. I explain that we're having a little get together and one or two people with have mascot like costumes, and ask if that's alright with them.

Sometimes I'll just walk down mainstreet and want to go in a shop like the burger place. In that case I'll wait by the door and my handler will just ask if it's okay if I come in. I haven't gotten a no yet, but if I did i'd just wait outside.

Usually just explaining it as "I have a mascot costume" really helps. people know what those are. you can explain the species and everything. I've never gotten too many hard questions about it, generally just "we like to go around town. would it be alright if we came in and bought a few things with this costume on" patronage goes a long way. If you are taking part in the business people are more forgiving than if you just walk around drawing attention.

Wonderful suit and great photo, along with the burger joint pics. Love the bell!

thanks :3

thanks!

Imma vet tech myself. Days off and going in are <3

awwww

I'm just hypnotised by those cute eyes

Why have I never seen you before ?! Such a beautiful suit

How did I find all these old pictures? Boy, am I ever glad I did find them! I've always liked the idea of doing errands in fursuit. Definitely going to do that someday.
