Wearing a tail in public.

I like collars, I used to have one that was really colorful, but now I has a spikey one that I might wear to school tomorrow.

I've worn tails and ears in public, too. Not sure why though, but it's prolly for the glances.

I know I'm weird, and I enforce it =D
 
I would love to wear a collar, fox tail and ears, but not in public (i'm a really really shy person, I hate being center of attention alot). One thing I really don't like is spiked collars, or ones with metal studs. Nothing like that would look good on me.

Also, I would have to move out of my parent's house first. I'm 16, so I can't do any of this for a couple of years.

Seriously I see nothing wrong with wearing a tail in public, It depends a lot on where you go or do in it, but aside from a few comments from older people or jokes from kids people really don't care what you do. We are furries and this is all apart of our culture so why not embrace it and be proud. As a bunny I only have a small tail but I have massssssive ears which draw a lot more attention to me that my friends with tails ^^

Well it depends on one's definition of a furry. The term is so wide and can encompass so many people that the majority probably doesn't see a need to wear a tail, even when it *could* not look so funny like on Halloween.

I know I personally self-identify as a furry, but I'm not really into the whole "wearing a tail and ears and/or fursuiting" aspect. Something to limitedly try out one day I guess, but it's not like it'd be anywhere near the "real deal" so blah.

Sorry if I didn't come across very clear then, I didn't mean that every furry would want to, I ment that if you want to or like tails and things don't be afraid to wear them.

bang your head.
I would suggest talking it only into your neighborhood first or something as such

People weren't entirely weirded out when I came to school with a tail, though; I occasionally dress up in all sorts of weird shit, for the lulz.

Case in point; I once came in a full World War I American soldier uniform, gas mask and everything.

Hahaha, that's epic.

I wear mine on occasion...not as much as I used to, mainly because I don't really have time to go anywhere I could wear a tail. When I was in University, I'd wear it to class, or out with friends....troublesome, at times, if the classroom had desks instead of tables. Kangaroo tail is a bit big.

Now, though, I definitely can't wear it to work in the kitchen. I need to replace the elastic bands that my belt goes through, as well.

I had a fox and a cat tail and ears years ago, but I think my mom started putting the pieces together and threw them out...

What a bitch =D

No...at least, I don't think so. She always thought it was weird that I made "animal-people" and always wanted to be one. In fact, every time I was an animal for Halloween, she'd try and get me to be some sort of person as a worker of some kind of occupation.

But if I told her what I was and the definition of it, I think she'd about die. I'm pretty sure she saw the whole furry bashing shit on...I think it was CSI...or maybe LaO...I dunno.

But still...

ive worn full suits in public (cons and just to walk down the street for fun) the regular wolf one was cool people loved it. but my werewolf one people ran from. i wonder why. it looked like i was out of the movie underworld. those spring feet work as good reverse joints and you can run pretty fast. as for just tails and ears yes. me and my friends will do it. eh who cares what people think. if your having fun and ignoring them then just fun is left. be you and who cares what strangers think. like ive said im in the military and people i work with think its cool. eh the important thing is to just be happy. no matter what you do someone will make fun of you for it or find something wrong with it.
Right on! Military furs = Pownage!

Let's see....I wear a fox tail....everywhere...except here in Iraq...(not because of war or such, just don't want it to get dirty)...let's see...what else..ah..I wear my collar everywhere...again..except Iraq...stupid UCMJ....Before deploying, I wore both...along with furcuffs....everywhere in public...because personally I could care less what people think...And if they say something behind my back and I didn't hear it...then it was never said...of course...if I did hear it, I would show them what I use my teeth and nails for. Will be wearing all of it when I attend FA United 08'.
