Wearing a tail in public.

[Kittiara]

Back in 7th grade I wore cat ears.

It's surprising how many people take it in stride.

Now I just wear a collar now and again.

As for making a tail/ears oneself... I'm fairly certain there's a fursuit wiki. Just search that on Google and you should find info and links.

I don't fursuit nor have an urge to do so, if i did it would be in a carnival or something similar.

Aside from cons and such, I've worn my tail to my friend's house. She encourages it. ^^'

I havn't, but I want to. I want to get a Fox tail. I don't know what other people would think, besides my friend Alexio. He'd flip out in excitement and ask where he can get one or tell me how cool it is. Though, I probably shouldn't put words in his mouth. I'm going to ask him. Wow, I got off track a bit.

Now I'm going to research a place to make one for me (since I'm lazy and all).

just got a collar last night and i wore it with my dogbone tag and wolf T-shirt to a big concert in my town tonight. i'll probably upload a picture tomorrow.

got a few weird looks and a couple of comments, but otherwise people didn't seem to care.

i do wish i could've taken a picture of this one ladies experssion though... nearly made me fall out of my chair i laughed so hard.

Yeah i have a collar that i wear and i freaking love it, i think it looks bad ass. I do have no desired to ever wear a tail in public though. But i do think it would be kind of funny to go snowboarding with a tail and a beanie with some wolf ears, that i would do.

I've worn a cheap ass tail and ears at school before, but mainly for Drama class and a few minutes messing around with friends during lunch. It was fun, and apparently the ears suited me. Whether I'd have the balls to wear a proper expensive tail in public could be another matter... X3

 

[Xaerun]

If I went into Melbourne I might, otherwise it's a no-no. I'd get the living sh** beaten out of me.

I made some tail myself, too. and I usuually wear it. but I dunno why, but people in my school just makes a big fuss about it. but I still do. I also wear a dog collar.

tip of making a tail: first, measure how long you want it. Then, buy a fabric thats about that long. Also, buy a chain thats the same length. cover the chain with the fabric and sew it well together (smaller you sew, less obvious the sewing line, and try doing cross sewing, for a nice firm closure, so it won't open). Last, you get 2,3 safety pins, and pint the very top of the chain and the bottom of the chain to keep the tail up.

You do this, to give your tail some weight and to make it look some what more realistic movements. and also, even if you sit on it, it won't get flat.

thats how I made mine :3

and I also made an arm warmer glove with fabric, too :3

Up here, in South Carolina, we have a College-Clemson, And their Mascot is the Tigers. =P

So there's a shop here that sells a lot of Tiger Tails and whatnot. So I bought one being a tiger as my Fursona and all. It goes around the belt loop. =P

People normally kinda shut them in the edge of the trunk, and it flaps behind the person driving.

So, yeah, I wear it in public sometimes, but people just think I'm showing my support for the Clemson Football Team. Haha.

And yeah, they are my favorite football team too xP

So it's like, a Win-win situation. Haha.

That's a good tip. I should try it, though I should get my aunt to teach me how to sew. Would a sewing machine work? I kinda know how to use those.

 

[BunnyEarBoy]

I would def' wear a tail in public... But probably on a special day, like....... tuesday^_^

 

[waynefox3]

ide love to wear something like that around here but my location makes it a bit hard (that and a lack of money).
wearing a tail and ears may not be the best idea in a hunting promanant state.
I also need some cash so i can make them luckaly charlseton had alot of stuff around here so i should beable to find my materials.
then also comes the conflict im not a wolf or fox or the like should i make one like that try attempt a porcupines features maybe i could make a cap with quill looking items on em or something.

EDITED for puncuation cause even i who typed that jarbled mess couldent reread it,

I have a hat with fox ears on them that I've worn around... Got 'em at Detour this year(Pawstar =P) and I've gotten a few weird looks. -laugh- I really don't care, though. I wouldn't dare wear anything like that to school, because I think people already think I have too many costume things at home... xD; I've gone to school in three different wigs, and the last two were just random days.

Eventually, I do intend on wearing a tail or something of that sort around. I don't find it too strange, honestly. =P

 

[Skwiggletok]

I just.. don't do tails. I like ear hats but more to be all DESUDESUDESU. I don't associate my ear hats with "furry".

I just don't like bothering to wear a tail. I'm not big on too many accessories. I'm a total tomboy. The more weighing you down the harder it is to beat up all your guy friends.



Also I used to have a lot of friends that would >> And I was like ehhh no you guys look like dorks.

 

[Lukar]

I haven't, although I think it'd be kinda neat. xD If it's the same as wearing a Naruto headband to school, then people will ask you once or twice, and then be like, "Meh, whatever."

 

[blixbunneh]

when i wear my *massive* bunny ears in public I get loads of possitive attention but ears stand out more then tails do...well my ears do xD

 

[Xaerun]

How much would I be looking at normally, in AUD?

 

[Fozzy]

I don't have a tail to wear around in public, I would wear one if I had one. I do, however have a Stitch hat with ears that I like to wear a lot (my friend has even demanded that I wear it when I'm best man for his wedding.)

Oh, and Aloha makamaka! ^.^

 

[Zarbolord]

My ears say it all. Altho I'd love to have a real dragon tail ^^

 

[xiath]

*sigh*unfortunately i don't have a tail... Tails are so awesome (even my non-furry friend wants to make one now ) i have the burning desire to make one and wear it to the mall with my friend... Now to find a way to make one without my parents knowing... they don't know that i am a furry and most likely don't know what one is but all i know is that if they saw me wearing a tail they may think i am having mental issues...

Meh, i guess i will just have to tryout my collar/armband in public (maybe one hour with it on my arm and another with it around my neck) for now to see the reactions

 

[Cero]

If I had one, I still probably wouldn't, though I'd very much want to. But there's that whole I-get-made-fun-of-enough-as-it-is thing... I really want to order a custom collar from that collar factory thing though. I probably would wear a tail or ears if I lived in a bigger city.

 

[A terrible situation]

I think that wearing a tail/ears/anything remotely out of the ordinary would go over poorly in my town, sadly enough. I might wear ears. but I probably wouldn't wear a tail.

Collar maybe? Discreet, classy, and it gets the point across to those who know enough to understand. The others won't notice, or will just find it vaguely amusing.
