Are you, or are you not saying you and your boyfriend get dressed up in costumes together? As a couple?

I mean, seriously, don't be in yiff denial.

LOL, how does one yiff without a fur-suit?

oh god, why did I ask

Yiffing is sexual contact between persons in fursuits. I do not own a fursuit. I have never had sex nor any kind of sexual contact while in costume. Therefore, I have never yiffed.

Furries are the most loathsome members of the greater costume community. I don't mind the cosplay/costume thing, but you're getting pretty fucking offensive if you persist with the furry jokes.

Body paint. And lots of it.

Ok, now I'm just confused.

What's so bad about furries that this would offend you so? Ok, so they put on fursuits and fuck. So the fuck what? I don't like gay sex, but if you call me a "fag" I'm not going to get all uppity about how offensive that is.

I mean, if you honestly don't do it, and are confident in that, then why would you pull this "I'm offended" card?

internet: where people say offensive things.

And if you ARE offended, doesn't that just make you emotionally weak?

I mean, what's so wrong about furries? BDSM is a shitload more fucked up, and way more popular. Furries are just about the least offensive sexual fetish there IS. Ok, ok, so there's a lot of wapanese girls in cat ears trying to figure out if they're bisexual or not involved and a LOT of people are just way too young PERIOD who are into that stuff, but OFFENDED? Over being accused of having a fetish you DON'T have?

Hell, I don't get pissed at people who call me fat, and I actually AM fat.

I have seen talk of people doing Avatar costumes. I shuddered. I also wondered about the logistics of that, because the aliens are like eight feet tall and pretty much naked all the time. Painting that much of your body can be very dangerous, not to mention extremely challenging in the first place.

I know a gal who did a She-Hulk outfit using airbrush paint, but only her face and limbs were painted.

I see a lot of ill fitted body types on stilts.

I see pleather. Lots and lots of cobalt blue pleather, like a Wes Boreland bodysuit type deal.

And guys built like me and Funk wearing that pleather, on stilts.

*shudder*

Proteas I buy my wood cut & split about 20 kilometers from my home. I go back to a woodlot belonging to local people I met when I moved out here 7/8 years ago. When you drive back on their land they have hauled the trees to the roads they've built & they have a portable mill (towed behind a tractor) & they produce rough cut lumber. Any trees unsuitabel for making into boards or beams, they junk up & then split & stack it into 1 or 2 cord sections. I have a standing order for 4 cords, so they hang a piece of wood with my name on the cords of wood with the year I'm to pick it up.Last summer when I was hauling wood for this 2009/2010 winter home, there were already piles with my name on them for 2010/2011, for the most part the wood I buy has been off the stump for at least 2 years.
With their milling machine, they produce a large amount of slab wood, this they cut into 16 inch pieces & they have these sheds back on the sides of the road that divided into one cord sizes, I usually buy one of these each year as well for kindling...this stuff has always been 3 or 4 years off the stump & will light with a match, makes great fire starter & at $80.00 a cord is reasonably priced.

This is a small family owned & operated somewhat hobby wood lot, the 2 old guy's who own it are both retired, one of their nephews has a home built right on the main road & you have to go up his driveway to a gate that accesses the roads in the woodlot ,the lot is just over a thousand acres, so it isn't very big & isn't a commercial operation.

Skunky I remember your frustration (expressed here) when trying to find & then purchase a home. Although you , like myself have to make some sacrifices to own your own place...don't you like/love it ,a hell of a lot more than when you were renting ?
I know I sure do...& wouldn't want to have to rent again ever !

Fli...I seen this comment in a local web paper, a woman owner of a china shop was saying that it was the worst earthquake she's experienced in 30 years in business at her location...& she was having a sale on broken china for those who like to do mosaic's...talk about turning lemons into lemonade :)

take care folks, I got to go to work.

Did anyone else know that they're using shape memory alloy for dental braces now? And that apparently they work faster than normal braces and don't require continuous adjustments?

I had regular braces as a kid and I can tell you that this advancement is straight-up BULLSHIT. Although since my kids will probably need braces too I guess I shouldn't complain about it.

It's in April sometime and she's still submitting drawings for the program. I knew her in college when she was a graphic design major and her best drawings were always ones of animals.

I actually like some of the artwork that furry artists have put out.

Do not look at me that way, lounge, I'm just recognizing that such people as Jay Naylor and Dr. Comet are actually pretty decent artists. Creepy? To a point, but decent artists.

Also; this guy is fucking hilarious.

One possible method would be to dye the skin blue then just paint details, but I don't know if there's a decent blue skin dye that's easy to get at.

The problem with any kind of dye or stain is that, well, it dyes or stains. At the end of a four-day convention, you'd still be blue.

But maybe I'm jut not committed enough to the hobby.

Now, this may come as a weird question depending on how you take it, but please understand the the intention behind this question is purely innocent.

What exactly do you do with all those costumes after the convention is over?

They go in the closet.

Steve's armor occasionally goes on a dummy and gets displayed, and I have a half-finished dummy that I could use to do the same thing with one of my costumes.

They're tape dummies - put on some sweats you don't care about, get someone to completely wrap you in duct tape. They cut you out and you tape the slits back up and then stuff the dummy with polyester fiber fill. It's a cheap, easy way to make a custom mannequin that is an exact replica of your body and is also quite flexible. You can bend it any way you want to dress it or work on a piece, and you can stick pins directly into it.

In 2008 we actually wore our Batman and Catwoman costumes to Free Comic Book Day as a favor to the guy who runs the comic book store where I used to work. We were a big hit. It was hot as shit outside and I thought I was going to die, but I had a great time.

Some of our friends who are fans of Battlestar Galactica get together for "Frak parties" where they wear their BSG costumes. We went to Frakking Laser Tag once, it was pretty cool. But my BSG costume is just a casual duty uniform, so it's hardly like wearing a costume at all.

Good luck with that. Score means pretty much nothing if you have a thin file.

exactly. I may have a 730 credit score, but I also only have one card in my credit history and it's only been open for 3 years. That is basically useless getting loans because they can't possibly know what I'm good for. Instead, you will probably fall into the "no or little" credit history and be given terms for loans/cards which aren't as nice.

also, be sure to call their 1800 number on their website before the free trial thing ends or else you'll get a $14.95 recurring monthly charge on the card you gave them.

Hm... so is there any chance in the future of their being a room in your house with a batcave styled display case of costumes?

Serious question.

According to the Credit Inform people's quartly letter from back in October, my credit score is 650, which is "weak," but a whole lot better than it was this time last year if I'm not mistaken. I've made it a point to actually pay my credit cards on time even if I can't pay towards the principal (which I've not been able to do), and when I get my bonus in february, I'm knocking the shit out of two of them. I imagine that's going to do WONDERS for my score.

I was thinking that a short-lasting way to dye yourself would be to mix food colouring with something that absorbs into your skin, like moisturizer. Something to experiment with maybe.

Also, many kinds of dye can be removed by showering and scrubbing yourself with tide with bleach. Of course, this is probably really bad for you, but having once dyed my entire body purple, I can tell you that it works.

Okay. I have to ask.

Why did you dye yourself purple?

Because when you do Frankenberry you don't half ass it.

You could had gotten your score just going to the lot... i mean, they would have to check up on you anyways.
