I'm not a furry, but I am a Brony and I have friends who are into this. I'll be going to BronyCon later this month.

When I played Santa Claus in the mall I had to have a fan blowing on me all the time.

As long as this group as been around, I’m surprised they don’t use suits made of lighter, thinner material.
You don’t have to encase yourself inside a walking hot box.
That’s not even healthy.

Maybe most participants use homemade suits, and don’t know what costume designers would know.
Design for ventilation, flexibility and ease of removing.
In reference to the group itself, I think it’s sort of strange, and not something I’d be remotely interested in doing.

All the suits are custom made, and many have built in fans or even liquid cooling. Still, I don’t think I would last 5 minutes in one of those things during the summer.

Hubby watches that show and I happened to wander in when that ep was on.

I said WTF? and backed out of the room.

Sorry it took me so long. I had to suit up before entering this HAZMAT area.

Has the writing improved since Lauren left? I thought the first couple seasons were cute, but the writing seemed to fall off a cliff.
