rain_gryphon | Preparing for Ocean City Parade (Reply)

So, there's a parade this weekend, and tonight the fursuit I'm going to wear (my Otter) is distributed around my apartment, chopped into pieces. For months I've been meaning to change the shape of the head (make it a little flatter, and more musteline) and make the eyes a bit bigger, and somehow there was always something more pressing to do, until finally we got to the point where it's do it this week, or don't have it done in time. It's sad, but a lot of my stuff gets done that way. My suits always appear carefully finished on the outside, but Lord what last-minute kludge jobs they generally are! If I have time I'll probably alter the tail harness too, so the tail will move with my spine better, instead of just being stuck on my butt.

Findra thinks I do cute work :) He's thinking of wearing Amodeo in the Mountain View parade on the 24th, which will be (I think) his first parade in a fursuit. Fortunately it's only a half mile, not like the Ocean City Death March. If it weren't for the tail, I'd think about riding in the boat this year. I'm way out of shape.
