This little girl wasn't so sure about the big fuzzy animals standing around. Her parents thought we were cool, but she was NOT convinced. So I started playing peekaboo with her, using the nearest prop available--a sign directing the crowds.
There are actually a series of pics of me popping out from behind the sign in various positions, and slowly, slowly, her little frown turned into the biggest smile. Success!

Fursuiting really is amazing on so many levels....
