Wearing a tail in public.

Nargle

HOOT
I wore my tail at the Renaissance fair, and at my house, but that's it. And the Renaissance fair is where I got it! =D

I think it would be fun to wear it in public, but I don't really think most people find it socially acceptable. It's not an attention thing, if it was I'd be flaunting it around in the faces of people who don't find it socially acceptable! I just think it's fun to wear, and it makes me feel good like I just got a new haircut =3

Only once, but it was a gag put up by a car group I was in; The last person to arrive at the destination with their classic car (which I no longer have) had to wear the fox tail.

I did see a jock-strap that was fur covered in Skagway, Alaska last July. Very strange item.

i would purposely lose.

I only let it stay there about 10 minutes, then it mysteriously vanished from me and was stuck to the rear end of an old 1928 Chrysler.

That's a BINGO!
I borrowed a friend's black fox tail for two ninety minute class periods once. Not many awkward looks surprisingly, damn art school. Though, in Spanish, the teacher called the thing "attractive", and with her reminding me of a terrodactyl, that's when I got creeped out.

Serious Fox ;3
I've worn mine out tons of times going to places like the movies, the mall, the arcade, the game store, etc. I get some looks, a comment now and then, and people always ask why. I try to just keep it simple and say "I like foxes", instead of trying to describe the fandom to them. I used to wear my ears now and then, but they broke. :(

I made my boyfriend a tail =D It was supposed to be a husky tail, but I only had brown and white. So it was gonna be a fox tail, but I messed up on the tip and now it's a lab tail with a secret compartment =D

We wear tails around he house a lot, and I want to go public, but not right now. I'll probably have to start out with cons and stuff, and no places with cats. They always try to attack my butt when I'm wearing a tail T.T

I never have, but a friend of mine in one of my classes did (before I even knew she was a furry)...I admit even I gave her a look. XD Honestly, I wouldn't have the guts; it took me months to ignore the looks/comments/questions I got just from wearing a tagged leather dog collar. It would be fun, though. ^^; I guess I would if I had a friend to do it with.

Of course, this is keeping in mind that I live in a very conservative area and work with a conservative clientele; I work primarily with redneck farmers who think I'm a failure at life just for being female. XD I have enough discrimination to counter without adding a tail into the mix.

If I had one I would but I don't. I saw some girl walking up the street with a tiger tail one day way before I knew what a furry was.
 
I have a friend, he's not a furry, but he wore a raccoon tail to school one day. He wore it because he thought it looked good with what he was wearing, and he thought it would be fun. He got a few odd glances, but most people didn't pay any attention or said, "Hey, that's cool."
I'm thinking of making a tail of my own as soon as a find the right fabrics (My fursona's tail is very fluffy, so I want very fluffy fabric. xD Also, it might be difficult to find the right shades of brown and cream.) I would just need to figure out a way to design it so people saw it as some sort of dog tail, rather than a fox tail. The orangish, browny color, combined with the fluffiness and cream colored tail tip, might make it so people think it's a fox tail. =/

Wishes she was a wolf XD !
Personally I would never wear a tail in my house or around in public unless it was a convention of some sort, and the only conventions here are anime conventions XD. If someone would wear one too with I would probably do it, but only there n.n;;;

Same. I don't see the point of it and I wouldn't feel like explaining it to every single schmo that walks up to you.
