Marko the Rat

Duncan the big green roo came up to Brisbane with Oz and Drake during his visit to Australia. They were kind enough to invite me out bowling in fursuit. As is usual when I'm fursuiting in public, I was a scared little rat beforehand but I had a good time once I started. And it was good to meet Duncan and say g'day.



Foxy has also put up a video here.

Before FC, rainhopper gave me Skippy, a kangaroo fursuit by Pouch Hopper. This gift goes far beyond being "just" a fursuit; Pouch Hopper made Space Roo, the fursuit that changed my life. Rain gave me part of Pouch's spirit to remember him by. And to honour his memory, I need to make sure the suit gets worn and that it gets to Australia. Pouch had always dreamed of coming to Australia, but it was not to be.

Unfortunately, I wasn't ready to go out at FC in Skippy, but thanks to twigmouse I do have some photos for you. Expect to see more of Skippy over time.

In other fursuit-related news, thanks to higgs_raccoon, I have a better video of the fursuit parade to share with you. This was definitely my proudest moment at FC.

I hope the participants (one of whom I can identify as Barbary Lion) and the photographer don't mind me taking some liberties with one of the Mardi Gras photos. I was inspired by blazger's funny photos to do one of my own.

Ristin has his fursuit (also called Ristin). Thanks, ozkangaroo!

Isn't it gorgeous? (Is there some way I post this to a Flickr group, eg, Fun in Fur?)
