Further Confusion- This Weekend!

I've been working the last few days on getting ready for my next show coming up this weekend in San Jose. The show is called Further Confusion. Further Confusion is one of the largest international conventions celebrating anthropomorphics in all its guises. With an attendance of over 2,400 and growing, it is one of the premiere events of its kind.

Needless to say, I have been busy incorporating tails and ears to my coats, jackets and cloakes. I will include several pictures of what I have been creating for the show.
You will see from the pictures, the ears and tails are really quite fun!

The show is 3 days and I will be sure to post some images and stories from our little adventure into furryland.
I'm going to call my weekend 'Where the Wild things are!'

Tailed and Trimmed - The shorts get the done stamp!

The shorts finished their transformation - they are not tailed and trimmed out in orange fur!

I added 2 inches of fur trim to each leg and also added the slightly stuffed and wired tail to the back of the shorts! The tail is quite unique as it seems to have a life of it's own with the wiring and also the slightly stuffed nature of it. You can bend it and form it into many different positions - depending on how you are feeling... Feeling frisky?? Feeling playful? All can be determined by the shape and bend of your tail!
I placed the tail coming out of the back of the shorts but sewed it in place inside the waistband. This way the waistband will take most of the stress on the garment and is a very strong place to secure it. I mean what would happen if someone came up to you and gave you a tug on your tail?? If it ripped your shorts out that would be a huge bummer! This way, the waist band and the strongest part of the shorts - will take the stress and all will be well in kittyland!!

Fur Shorts - Tail coming soon!

When you want a slight breeze to tickle your knees, when you want to dance all night or work the dj booth til 5am... you don't need fur pants... you need fur SHORTS!!!

The newest and latest creation, as part of my custom order, is fur shorts. We decided as a design team, to go with a shorter pile black fur. A complimentary style fur and not matching. I think this will end up being more comfortable, lighter weight and easier over all to manage. It turned out to be correct!!

The black fur is more of a vintage crushed velvet style and lent itself very well to something as movable as shorts. I added front pockets, lined in orange leopard, and 2 back patch pockets totally lined. Belt loops on the front and the back with an interfaced waist band also in orange leopard.

I will be rimming the bottom of the legs in orange fur and adding a 36 inch long wide orange fur tail to the back of the shorts to add the finishing touch!
