Jak at Beauty and the Beast

This is a series of photos from the after party on the last night of "Beauty and the Beast" at Evangel University. I know some of the cast personally, and thought it would be fun to drop by after the Spring Fling costume party for some pics in my arctic wolf fursuit.

The Spring fling itself wasn't that great. The theme was "Wild Fling: Welcome to the Jungle". Nearly everyone there was dressed as either an Indiana Jones-ish explorer or some kind of a cat-girl, plus a hand full of Tarzans and animals from all over the map. The costume contest was won by a guy dressed in plastic bags resembling a giant banana. I didn't even make it up on stage as a finalist with the cardboard box and plastic bag costumes. However, I was later told by a few friends that everyone thought my costume was a professional rental.
Hearing that was a much better prize than a fast-food gift card.

After the party, I ventured accross campus to wander through the croud of "Beauty and the Beast" audience and cast members. There I recieved much attention and praise from family, friends, and random people. Little kids lit up at the sight of the giant fluffy animal wandering the campus halls.

Lots of high fives and hand shakes were offered from people passing by, and a few even asked for pictures. I'm so happy with the reactions I got. I'll certainly be wearing my fursuit when and where I can.
