Meta... I can actually copy that costume if you'd like. Give me until September when I settle into school again and get my cash and I'll make all kinds of ears/tails. I already got fox ones, wolf ones, pokemon costumes...
And yes and no. TO some people, Furry is a lifestyle. It may or may not involve the fetishization of animal costumes and/or an interest in anthropomorphic erotica. Most Furs are actually just interested in plushies and mascots, the hardcore ones make super-realistic art/costumes and some are just perverts who play far too much WOW. They can be a lovely bunch or a funny bunch... us therians are a little cautious about being lumped in with them. Sorry, used to having to define animal-people terms... former staff x
