No fur.

I am a fur, but I don't do fur cons, largely because I'm averse to large crowds and noise. However, furs aren't really nearly as strange as some of the non-fur people I've dealt with. I tend to be surrounded by artists of different sorts, writers. Furs tend, over all, to be very creative. As evidenced by their costumes, they at least do put effort into their hobbies. Just different hobbies than a lot of people.

I agree with Expat. No fur. This ain't the sixties and don't want that "period" back.

Couldn't the director come up with something besides having these performers thrust into our faces?

You're missing the truly weird part; at last year's FurFest, someone tried to gas the furries with chlorine and 19 people had to go to the hospital.

The fur was under the costume on the guy in BD's link, did you notice his arms and legs? Alassirana, what is your costume of choice sweetie, if you don't mind telling us.
