Acceptable states of undress

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tygs:
Sooooooo, I have pulled a costume together and it hasn't got shorts but it does have a kilt, and underneath I'm wearing leather pants that can't be pulled off or down and have an athletic cup in them, so you can't see or grope anything XD and I kinda have a bit of a shirt on. Have taken a crappy pic but just to check if it's ok?

The helmet weighs a friggin ton so don't want to drag it all the way to Germany if there's no point ^^

Cheetah:
Well, if you're wearing briefs under that loincloth, it is technically in order.  However, there is one thing, that I know from my own and other people's previous costuming experiences: If you're not wearing any kind of shirt or tunic to wick away the sweat, you are going to be one VERY stinky gladiator in a very short time. And body odour will be a lot more offensive than your bare chest. (You're a very atypical furry, as you actually don't have to be afraid to show your body :) ) So please make sure you keep that under control, or maybe add some kind of shirt or tunic, it will really help a lot.

Tygs:
Well I keep my underarm hair very short as it is as I hate BO, and shall make sure to wear pleeenty of deodorant. I'll be showing several times a day anyway as I'll be suiting plus in and out of the pool :D

Gyroplast:
Aw man.

Have to admit, this works very well as a costume matching the theme, and I doubt we'll hear any... objections regarding the amount of nudity. However, I'd have preferred the costume to have at least some furriness to it. As it is, it opens a whole new can of worms regarding acceptability of costumes in general: Are we trying the have a *furry* convention, which is what unifies us, or is theme-cosplay another way to go, regardless of "furriness"?

I personally don't care, I like any good costume that adds to the mood of the convention. And I am convinced having a great convention is the ultimate goal we're trying to achieve. Therefore, unless His Highness Emporer Cheetah I specifically redefines our mission statement to "be an ass and throw out everyone with less than at least 60% fur coverage in costume", you'll get a go from me, especially since you asked beforehand and supplied pictures.

Sometimes I'm simple like that.

Regards,
  Gyro

Cheetah:
He's obviously costumed as a roman furry fan, so that's perfectly on topic :)
