This gets ridiculed but journalists come to the defense of S&M conventions at hotels without describing what goes on or what people wear?

My navel lint collection and maggot ranch don't seem so bizarre, after all.

What's all the fuss about? I find it perfectly natural to slip into my Siberian Husky outfit on an almost daily basis.

It's nice to see some news from Southeastern PA that doesn't include fires and murders for a change. Hahahahaha

Well, that's because huskies are so cute, not like a fox or a weasle or something......lol.......your husky suit is not strange, considering your name and all..........

Well, thanks for the supportive comments, TG.... although some people may not find it so cute when I then go running around town peeing on fire hydrants. ;)

(But I hate being one of those people who's "all dressed up, no place to go"... if you get my drift.)

I've always thought of myself as the alpha male wolf.
Since the alpha male is the only one who gets to have sex in the whole pack, I keep wondering why you other guys are always hitting on my women??
Am I going to have to paint "ALPHA" on my wolf costume??
Sheeesh!!

Why am I not surprised to find you on a thread about people licking themselves?

(re: Anthrocon article posting from '02 :) )
...I am a "furry" and it's not sick and twisted as one may think. We like anthropomorphic cartoon animals;
it's part of sci fi. Sure, some of us dress in "fursuit"
but it's all in good fun (and not much different than what you'd find with a mascot at a ballgame).

We collect comic books, buy T-shirts, and have variety shows ("the masquerade"). The Con Chair does an uproarious
"story hour" and a "furry comic" named 2 also entertains.
We have charity auctions to benefit everything from
Canine Partners for Life to cat/dog rescue shelters.
Some of us indulge our inner kid by doing puppet shows.
We have a whole bunch of fun for a weekend every year.

We create stories, art, and sculptur. There are Christian furries, furs who work for Disney, and "fursuiters"
who entertain ill or terminal children in hospitals.
I have attended this convention every year since the first one in 1997 and I love it!
