: Who's got the guts to try it
: Doink January 28, 2016, 10:55:16 -07:00
Iv never been in a public place with a costume on but I think it would be fun, who want to try it? Iv got a spare dog head and a dragon head that someone could use with me to on an outing. The first thing that comes to mind is furry bowing because it's a known thing that people do it would feel really weird at first so it would be nice to see someone els go hough the same trip i also know at least one of my friends would try is too the more the better. Or maybe you have a head or suit and never been out either I'd
Ike to hear from you don't be shy

Haven't done it in a furry costume but probably would. I've done it for cosplay lots and how I normally dress looks very costumey so I know what to expect. The little kids will probably come up to you and be like "wow *__*" and the odd jerk might pull the Halloween comment. Go do it! ^.^

Lmao ace, thought we we're already bffs though. I declared it randomly somewhere on your posts I think.

You have really neat suits Fluttershy. (:

I guess Doink, but it should be like a happy thing not a scary thing. I mean worse to worse someone is all "hey look at that wolf costume maybe they're from a radio station". Nobody will know it's actually you. first time I got a fursuit I actually took it and ran down the road. Because who wouldn't smile seeing a random fox costume running madly down the block. Fun. Not scary. ^^ I'll be your senpai and teach you the ways k. Jk. On a serious note why not just take your fursuit to the meetups in Vancouver too if youre anxious? Always alot going on there, and lots of other fursuits.

i'd be happy to do this with you as some one with lots of experience both as a fursuiter and professionally,  we would defiantly NEED handlers/spotters, NEVER fursuit in public without at least 1 to 2 spotters.

Suiting in public is so much fun! I've gone by myself and with a spotters, never with other suiters though.

After going to the convention I'm not afraid to go out in costume anymore but if anyone hasn't done it before I'd be willing to do it again, I just don't have a good spot in mind. I personally don't want to be around small kids if I do go out again, open to suggestions

I'd totally suit in public, would want to do it a few times at cons first and get comfortable with being in suit before doing it though xP
: Re: Who's got the guts to try it
: Doink March 28, 2016, 01:05:36 -06:00
That's what it took for me. Especially having the convention badge so if people look at you funny you just hold it up and say "there's a convenation going on" even if it's not anymore

Fursuiting by yourself bears its risk but it's fun. If you go fursuiting in the middle of nowhere with almost no one around there is less risk (unless you get mauled by a grizzly).

Yet if there are people around you do no know and they do not know what this "mascot" is all about, you always want to have a spotter.

Im kinda loosing interest, it just dosnt seem like theres much point going in public. Id rather stick to people in the community almost everyones opinion of fursuiters is tainted by media. Theŕes the odd person whos really likes it and thats priceless but i get better reactions just wearing foot paws

A guide/handler/spotter is always a good idea.   Any number of things can, and do go wrong.  At least with the extra eyes, you are less likely to be attacked from behind.

Drunken assholes can easily ruin your suit with no consideration as to cost to buy or repair.. To them is is fun.  To you it is lots of money. Take a non suited with you.
