The part I found hard to believe was "hot" + "furry", then I remembered that there *are* no cow furries because cows aren't "cool". And now I want to know the story.
Irony is the opposite of what would be expected. As such, that woman's outfit being considered "furry" is ironic, and nobody wanting to bee seen as a cow is business as usual.
rara_aves says in a reply to the repost i just made: "Cowgirls are a new craze in Japanese/anime culture the same way catgirls came about. It's all about the appeal of "huge udders.""
That is just about the hottest pic I have ever seen. Is it still furry if they're not wearing a whole suit? Please says she's not a furry or else I lose a serious bet with myself and my dignity.
Definitely photoshopped, and her facial features look almost painted...but damn.
Actually, to be fair, there are some pretty unconventional and interesting furry-types out there . . . I know a girl who made an *amazing* boar costume (and, before the name-calling starts, no, she isn't fat.) I really admire the costuming/FX ingenuity even though some of the furverts leave me cold.
With that said -- this girl is quite attractive, although definitely Photoshopped. I'd love to see the original image, if somebody turns it up.

I say not furry, because A) cow = !furry, since cows are not "cool" and, mysteriously, nobody EVER has a "totem animal" or "alternate self" that isn't cool. B) She is attractive. Long exposure to furries indicates that this is NOT the case with furries.
it is photoshopped! I saw this picture on randompictures yesterday. original version (http://pics.livejournal.com/fusion_mobile/pic/000w8y73?style=mine)
Oh, thanks for finding that! And thanks for the "Not Furry" call WeaselKing. I feel better now. There are a lot of furry outfits that I would consider 'not cool', but I suppose they're still cooler than cows...
It betrays my prejudices though that I can accept the actual girl in the real pic as a furry because she's not as unbelievably cute at all. I guess some prejudices are hard to shake. =P

Date: 2008-12-02 02:24 am (UTC)Irony is the fact that there are no "cow" furries, because cows are considered fat and unattractive.
