Do not, I repeat, DO NOT give the weasel ideas! XD

Too late! Besides, the weasel knows who already has magnets installed in their head, and is looking forward to abusing that knowledge.

Welcome. 

I wore a Russian Ushanka on my other suit once. I attached it to the fursuit head by simply using a needle and thread, and tacking it in place with three separate loops of thread tied in a knot to hold it on.  Each loop went all the way through both foam head and hat to secure in place. It was robust enough to hold the hat in place without any real problems, though I did have to redo one of the stitches at one point, so it requires a little experimentation. The two key advantages of this method are;

• It doesn't use any sharp metal spikes near your head
• If anyone grabs at the hat it will only break the threads and the hat will come away, rather than ripping through the foam or fur.

The other option I keep hearing is to embed Neodymium magnets into both the head and object you wish to attach, which would allow hidden reattachment and a range of accessories, as well as the ability to degauss video tape and disrupt CRT television images.  Personally I prefer the idea of using thread though. 

Hope this helps you look more "dapper" at the Con.

Heya Runo, if you're still in need of a UK address then send me a PM and I'll pass on my address to you.

And Lev, if not we can always just fuel him on Relentless

Oh, that reminds me of my first evening at ConFuzzled. It had been a long day for me and I was flagging, so to perk myself up and provide fuel for the weasel I had a Red Bull. It worked quite well up until the point that I had to go to sleep. Laying in bed, looking up at the bunk above me, I was left not only to ponder why I couldn't get to sleep, but also why my heartrate was racing. O_o

Remember kids, I'm a trained weasel, don't mix Red Bull and fursuiting!

Introduce Yourself / Ululations all!

Hello everyone!!!

Some of you may already know me as "Utlah", but I suspect a lot more of you may simply know me as "Vin" or "that weasel with the freaking big hips" seen wandering around ConFuzzled earlier this year!  You'll tend to find me dabbling in various aspects of furry, but I'm mostly involved in the fursuiting and spiritual side of the fandom. I've a long history on the more spiritual sides of furry, organising some much smaller events in the past (as outlined in this year's con-book no less) as well as helping Dingo and company out on the spiritual panel this year. It's only more recently that I've become actively involved in the fursuiting side of the fandom but I'm enjoying it immensely and Vin seems to be proving quite popular with you all.

However the reason I thought it best to introduce myself to you all within the ConFuzzled forums was not just to say hello and say what a great bunch of people you all are, but to also mention that I've joined the ConFuzzled staff as part of Convention Operations! Yep, I thought that ConFuzzled was so much fun this year that I wanted to be a much more significant part of ConFuzzled for future events! Therefore I'll be helping the guys out wherever I can to achieve the seemingly impossible, which is to make ConFuzzled even more fun and enjoyable for you next year! 

I look forward to see you all at CF09!
