Fursuit Builder of the Month: Adorable Foxie

Mon 2 May 2011 - 12:08

By: Trashville

May 2011

Hello furries! For the very first Fursuit Builder of the Month, I caught up with Clarissa St. Clair of Adorable Foxie and asked some questions about her business. This article is the first of many “Fursuit Builder of the Month” pieces that I plan to do.

First provide a brief description of your history in the furry fandom.

Like most members of the furry fandom, I’ve always enjoyed ‘animal stories’ and cartoons, but I never knew there was a community out there just for all that! I first got involved with the furry fandom in the mid-90′s, when a friend introduced me to the Redwall book series. I loved them, and I wanted more! I joined Redwall-based role-playing groups (on AOL, and Redwall MUCK), and my friends and I would illustrate our role playing sessions. This led to our posting them on furry-related art sites, where we met other people that also made up characters and stories. Eventually it progressed to local furry get-togethers and attending conventions. At my first convention, Anthrocon 2002, I fell in love with all of the costumes and just had to start making my own!

When did you build your first costume and what was it?

My mom and I have always worked together to come up with fun costumes for Halloween, so I am no stranger to costume-building. As far as my first fursuit goes, it was a black fox named “Blackout” – creative, I know. I built the costume over the course of 2002-2003, and I had her ready to go for Anthrocon 2003!

How many fursuits have you been paid to build in total?

To date, I’ve been commissioned for about twelve or thirteen, with a couple of those still currently in the works. In addition to that, I’ve also sold all personal costumes I’ve made except for two, bringing the total of costumes sold up to eighteen. I didn’t take on any commissions until about 2008, which is when I began to dabble in building a costume for a local friend, to be able to tweak it and make fixes as necessary before taking commissions full-time.

What is your construction method of choice for for head building and why?

My method of choice is an all-foam construction, with a balaclava (head-sock) liner. To me, this is the most comfortable method to use, and it looks well-finished. I started out building my first few costumes with plastic mesh or even on a bike helmet, but these heads seemed to take too long, risked damage to the costume (because mesh doesn’t bounce back, while foam does) or to the wearer (yay pokey bits!) but in the end, foam seemed the way to go for me. In my opinion, this method of construction allows me to work the quickest without sacrificing quality, comfort or detail.

What is your average price range?

Currently, my prices range from about $350-$500 for a head, $500-$800 for a partial, and $950-$1200 for a full suit, including the cost of shipping. The final price all depends on many things, like character markings, and finishing details like claws or paw pads, etc. My prices are currently a little on the low side as I build up my commission portfolio, so they are subject to change in the future.

Who was your character favorite to build?

I would have to say, it’s a toss-up. I really love how Kenai Kitty came out, he’s a serval with a TON of hand-sewn markings. The detail came out great! It took me about two months, working full time start-to-finish to put it all together, but the results were worth it. My other favorite character was Kiera Dracorex; her owner provided some fantastic reference to work from, and the color scheme was unique and fun.
In all honesty, though, each new costume I build tends to come out on top as being “my new favorite,” because I am able to watch my skills as a builder progress, and each one comes out better than the last in some way!

What makes you unique as a builder and why should people choose you?

Since I am still trying to find my groove for doing this work full-time, I put 100% of my focus on the current project at hand, and nothing else, so each full costume gets my undivided attention while I am working on it. I don’t crank out multiple costumes at a time, assembly-line style. I also tend to share photos of my works in progress on my Facebook and Twitter pages, and listen to feedback provided by not only the customer, but also people that watch my progress on social media sites, or even my friends and my husband when I’ll ask them, “What can I change?” I highly value the feedback of people that have already purchased work from me, change things that they recommend changing, and constantly work to better myself as a costume builder.
So, while some costumes may take a little more time to be made, rest assured that I am doing my absolute best to provide you with a top-notch product in the end. If there are changes or adjustments that need to be made after delivery, I’m more than willing to work with the customer to be able to ensure their costume comes out on top as far as aesthetics, comfort, and durability are concerned. I’d much rather provide a well-made costume that will last for years to come, than to cut corners just to meet a deadline. I still have some of my early costumes from 2005-2006 running around out there, going strong, and that durability is something I strive for with each new costume I make.

And here’s her site:

Counterpoint: The Death of ED, Why This is Good

Sun 1 May 2011 - 00:48

05/01/2011
By: The Iron Weasel

ED_logo_370x278This is my counter argument to Curt Pherson’s article on the destruction of ED. I will attempt to counter each point he makes and make several of my own.

As you know the infamous website Encyclopedia Dramatica closed. Now, whether or not it was created in good faith or not is another matter that I will not address here. I am simply here to talk about what it became. And quite frankly by the end, furry article or not, it was a bastion for hate. Many of the various pages on the site contained hateful images and vocabulary. Just because it was an open site in which users could post information on Internet culture didn’t mean they did it correctly. They simply let whatever the first person who made a page say whatever they wanted no matter how hateful.

Now as for the “accountability” it provided. Simply put all it did was single out several furries, and delved WAY too deep into there personal information. And then simply said we were all the same creepy pervert living in our basement watching yiff all day. Just because something doesn’t pick a side doesn’t mean it is right, ED was notorious for being factually inaccurate, and never using any evidence to back it up. As much as I support open communication and repositories of culture, it needs to be done in a way that presents factual evidence instead of spreading biases and inciting people. know your meme is a great example in which it doesn’t take sides or attack anyone and provides factual evidence and information.

In terms of teaching people lessons, like I said above, what ED did was attack specific people, most of the time making things up, and then saying whatever they wanted to say about that one person, they simply applied it to all of us.

Finally, saying ED wasn’t fake is a huge stretch. By definition it was a loosely monitored wiki in which anyone could say what they wanted. All it was doing was encouraging people to spread their hate, should we really be doing that?

Now for my points. Yesterday I changed the OhInternet, the replacement ED, article on furries to this:

A furry is a fan of anthropomorphic animals. Anthropomorphic means exhibiting human characteristics. The furry fandom extends to many areas, including art, prose, and the Internet. Some furries also wear fursuits, and studies show about 2% have sex in their fursuits. One main reasons this is not practiced very much is because of the heat of a fursuit. Furdom is sometimes used as a collective noun, e.g.: “All of furdom loves Uncle Kage.”

No matter how one looks at them, to say that they aren’t bizarre is quite a stretch. It is not uncommon for non-furry viewers to accidentally stumble upon pornographic furry art, and be disturbed.

Now as some of you readers may see, this article has been “corrected.” How did I do this? I have replaced the blatant biases with facts. I am a furry. But I will not deny that there are negative aspects to the fandom. There are bestialists in the fandom, but that does not make all of us the same. Nor are we bound together by some perverted urge. We are a group of people who connect because of our common interests. Calling us all perverts is no different then using any other stereotypes used on races, genders, religions, sexual orientation or anything else. It is a part of our identity. A part of who we are. Now I would bet good money that this post will only stay up for a few seconds, why? Because the people who run this site are afraid of facts, they spread bias, without giving too many substantial facts. Did you know that Anthrocon alone brings in about 1 million dollars every year to the Pittsburgh economy? Or that our fandom is a high contributor to many animal charities? So I dare you, take me down. Ban my account here, I want you to. Because every time you brush us off we only become stronger the next time. As a great man once said, “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.” So, ignore me, and ridicule me, a at that point I’m already halfway there.

Five minutes later I was banned and the article was changed back. I messaged the admin who banned me, Killhamster, thanking him for doing what I asked, his reply?
Lol you are a furry.

Yes, I am and very, very proud of it.

[Editors note: In verifying this, we checked the edit history of the article. Hipcrime (article creator) and Sherrod (Site owner) have kept the article very neutral in its views.  It appears that not all of OhInternet's editors are in agreement on the neutral tone that the articles need to maintain OhInternet as a real resource vs what Encyclopedia Dramatica became.]

Save the Seabirds, Kill the Rabbits

Sun 1 May 2011 - 00:39

Via Discovery News

A team of specialists has arrived at subantarctic Macquarie Island, roughly halfway between Australia and Antarctica, to begin a vital operation: killing every mouse, rat, and rabbit on the island.

Islands and non-native rodents are not a good mix. One Alaska isle is even called Rat Island because of the prevalence of Rattus norvegicus on its rocky slopes – and, as a consequence, the near-absence of seabirds, whose eggs and chicks the rats eat. At the other end of the Earth, on Gough Island in the South Atlantic, albatross chicks are literally being eaten alive by house mice.

The concerns are similar on Macquarie, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to albatrosses, penguins and petrels; but here an additional problem is caused by rabbits, which penguin-hunters in the 1870s introduced to the island as an alternate food source, and which have exploded in numbers over the last 15 years, eating native grasses, destroying vegetation, damaging nesting areas, and causing soil erosion.

BLOG: Angkor: How can a UNESCO site keep tourist temple raiders in check?

Last year’s attempt at eradication was aborted due to bad weather; however, the limited effort still succeeded to keep rabbits away from some areas, and allow native vegetation to grow back.

‘My Strange Addiction’ casting for Season 2

Fri 29 Apr 2011 - 15:29

Hide your fursuits and your furry porn.  TLC’s “My Strange Addiction” is coming back for a second season this summer, and they are casting!

The first season of the series told the stories of two dozen people and how their addictions were affecting their lives, work and relationships. While some people might turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with the stresses of everyday life, these addicts found comfort by eating toilet paper, sleeping with a running blow dryer or wearing a fursuit. Each addict received counseling for their addiction and learned how they could stop. From their press release:

“Many people who suffer from strange addictions have told us that they don’t know how to quit,” said Jason Bolicki, 20 West’s Director of Development and the show’s Executive Producer. “There’s no specific 12-step program to stop eating laundry detergent, so we try to help these individuals find new roads to recovery.”

Be warned.  As we learned from Lauren Adkins:

“They totally twisted everything, I can just tell by the preview. I told them I only go out maybe once a month if that. I never bring it [her fursuit] out around people that aren’t furs, and I never once brought it to a gathering or social event. Yet they say I can’t stand to be without it for one minute.”

If you or someone you know is battling an unusual addiction or behavior and would be interested in appearing on the show, please send a short description of your addiction and the impact it has on your daily life to: [email protected] Please include your name, age, city of residence, a current photo and a phone number or email where you can be reached for further questions.

You can find all of the programs TLC is casting for on their website.

Udderly Strange:Man Dressed as Cow Steals 26 Gallons of Milk

Fri 29 Apr 2011 - 14:20

[Tip from: @Talliy]

View more videos at: http://nbcwashington.com.

North Stafford, Va. –– Perhaps he was thirsty, or it was because he never got enough calcium as a child, or maybe he had a thing for dressing like a farm animal.

Whatever the reason Stafford sheriff’s authorities say a man donned a cow costume and not walked, but crawled into a Walmart store on Garrisonville Road (Va. 610) in North Stafford at 10:35 p.m. Tuesday.

Authorities say he found a shopping cart and then pushed it to the milk isle.

Now on two feet, security guards inside the store say the upright cow was caught on video tape placing 26 gallons of milk –– about $92 worth of the moo-cow juice –– into a the shopping cart, and then rolled it out of the store.

A manager called 911 to report the larceny.

Calling animals ‘pets’ is insulting, academics claim

Fri 29 Apr 2011 - 14:08

[Tip from: @Talliy]
Domestic dogs, cats, hamsters or budgerigars should be rebranded as “companion animals” while owners should be known as “human carers”, they insist.

Even terms such as wildlife are dismissed as insulting to the animals concerned – who should instead be known as “free-living”, the academics including an Oxford professor suggest.

The call comes from the editors of then Journal of Animal Ethics, a new academic publication devoted to the issue.

It is edited by the Revd Professor Andrew Linzey, a theologian and director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, who once received an honorary degree from the Archbishop of Canterbury for his work promoting the rights of “God’s sentient creatures”.  In its first editorial, the journal – jointly published by Prof Linzey’s centre and the University of Illinois in the US – condemns the use of terms such as ”critters” and “beasts”.
