          	  The one I got is really thick and beautiful. The only problem with it was the tanning. The tanning got twisted so the tail doesn't want to sit right/correctly, but other than that nothing is wrong with it.

          I made my intro video this morning and it's on my YouTube currently so please check it out !!!!!
          
          Leave some comments and or suggestions. The video is long, but you get to know me a whole lot more and future plans for the channel and me blabbing the entire time. So there's that.

          Okay...sooo few things I didn't expect and should have done more research on-
          
          I got all the stuff I ordered for the mask to alter it.
          
          Paint, paint brushes, the fleece fabric, and the high gloss varnish to protect the work is exactly what I wanted.
          
          The mask, and the fake fur not what I was expecting and or should have done more research on.
          
          First the fur.
          
          The fur was very small, but I was fine with that and already knew it was going to be small. I didn't need much for what I was going to use it for.
          
          It's the quality of the fur I didn't expect-
          
          Very thin and very see through. Sooo I am going to have to buy fur from a craft store on Wednesday and not from Amazon until I know what brands to buy from and what ones to stay away from.
          
          The poor fur I did buy I will still use. It will just be for accents instead rather than for full on ears, side fur/main, and or "hair". So I'll only use it to add more accent colors to a solid color. It's way too thin to really cut into it and work with. Literally one brushing could probably ruin the fabric so not using it for this project.
          
          Not a total bummer, but still kinda is. I could return it, but honestly at this point I'm not even going to bother. I'll use it for something else no big deal.

@xTheWritersDenx I hope everything ends up working out for you!

I do have to alter a few places on the inside though. The mask is a bit too snug in 3 different places. The bridge of the nose and at both far corners of my eyebrows. Easy fix I'll glue the fleece fabric in those places and it'll be comfortable to wear then.
            
            Oh! And another issue despite the mask being so open, I was getting hot in it. So I probably will try and do as little talking as I can while wearing it. And as for the ears definitely have to make those bigger and I plan to do that anyway. I don't have a way to remove the ears currently on the mask, the plastic is too thick and I could seriously hurt myself if I did try to cut them off, so instead I am going to glue cardboard around the existing ears and make the cardboard bigger and it'll be fine that way.
            
            All in all not a total loss. I hope that everything else works out the rest of the way.

Now onto the mask.
            
            The mask was not made out of what the description said it was made out of. The description said it was made out of PU foam. It's not. It's entirely made out of plastic and I am VERY happy about that.
            
            That means the mask will last longer and I don't need to prepare the mask or anything as PU foam doesn't like harsh chemicals and is proven to react by melting away.
            
            Glad they lied about that.
            
            Size of the mask-
            
            When I got the package I thought that the mask would be big. Ummm it is not-
            
            This mask was made for adults, but low-key it's for a child, but I have a child-sized head so it fits me perfectly.
            
            The mask did come from Japan- And people in Japan are a lot smaller than people in America. I should have known that, but didn't think that through.
            
            The coloration on the mask is wrong- I don't care, but I'm pointing it out because I thought it was funny. And the reason I don't care so much is because I'm going to be painting on the mask anyway so it doesn't matter. What's on the mask now will either get covered or just blend in to the rest of it which would be cool. If it blends in that's okay too.

          So my plan for this week is pretty simple, but some things are changing though.
          
          I was going to do my intro video today, but I forgot my son has a doctor's appointment and I'm going to see some family so I am unable to make the video. So on Wednesday I hope and plan to do it then. So probably Thursday it might be posted after some editing was done to it. I don't plan to go crazy with editing, but I do need a day to at least try and figure things out.
          
          The other is that on Wednesday I need to also go out and buy some stuff for my mask that I don't already have. But that shouldn't interfere with my intro video. I plan to do my videos in the morning to mid afternoon. By the time my boyfriend comes home it's late noon and I wouldn't be still doing my video or anything.
          
          Oh! Also another thing !!!!!!
          
          My tail comes on Wednesday. It would have arrived sooner, but it's coming through USPS WHICH IS SLOW AS FREAKING HECK! I know they're cheaper to work with, but USPS is so freaking slow. Everytime I gotten something from them it's always been late or the date always changes on when it's actually going to arrive.
          
          I don't know why that is.
          
          Also anything in the US comes very slowly. But if I buy from China I can get it within the same day. Like my stuff from Amazon comes faster over seas than stuff IN MY OWN COUNTRY!
          
          Pathetic-
          
          LOL.
          
          But yeah so the tail isn't coming until this Wednesday. But hey at least I'm getting the tail.
          
          Oh and I may or may not have found more stuff for the costume because I realized I needed hair bands to hold things in my hair and while I did that I was curious to know how much everything cost together without tax.
          
          My costume is less than $500. :0
          
          Like excuse me !?!?!
          
          My costume is going to be how much now ??????

          Some pretty exciting neeeewwwssss !!!!!
          
          I FINALLY bought the stuff to start making that mask or rather altering the mask I picked to wear at the Ren Faire this year. 
          
          Though...I did realize something-
          
          When I was on Etsy I did see tails being sold, but they were strictly fake bone tails and I was like, "Awww crap I already bought a tail!"
          
          A bone tail would have been pretty dope and I wasn't thinking, but it's too late now and my boyfriend bought me a $62 real fox tail...so there's that-
          
          Though I could still get a bone tail and wear a real fox tail, but on the side or something...nah I'll stick with the real tail the costume itself is going to be like around or close to $200.
          
          I already spent $101 and that's after I signed up for the free trial for Prime-
          
          And all that was for altering the mask too, but I also bought 2 extra things, one is Quad gloves and the other is beads that I really need for the costume, but they had only one left in stock so...I bought it before they ran out-
          
          So yeah...good thing I save money like no tomorrow or this wouldn't have happened, LOL.
          
          But.
          
          I am so freaking excited about this mask. I can't wait to start working on it though now that I realized...I didn't buy a glue gun-
          
          I might just go to the store and buy one instead because I'm not going back to buy a glue gun. I'll just go to the craft store and get one there. Something cheap and just to have and then buy a better glue gun in the future. 
          
          Cool I guess-

            ^^
            
            Yeah, true. I have only told a bit of my family, I think if I told the rest they would think it was weird and possibly frown upon it, or they would support me and forever buy me gear (my grandma would do the second one she is so so supportive<3)
            
            Okay!! I felt bad TvT 
            
            Yeah, it took me about like 1 hour—2 hours to make the coyote mask. It definitely depends on experience, technique, and the type you are doing. Sometimes I look on Pinterest or something like that when I need ideas, or usually I make my own. The first few masks I ever made were my theriotypes, and the rest I've made have just been random ones of other animals that I like to wear. I also have a pair of ears!!!
            
            Yeah!! Of course, I'll start making it probably next week when I'm not busy lol.

@Kitesongthewarrior You're welcome! :D
            
            It is, but that's life. I can't force them to accept me or support me. They believe in what they want to believe and what they want to support. I can't change that.
            
            Oh my gosh! No! You're fine! If anything they could be mean about it, I honestly wouldn't put it past some of my family members to be mean to me if they found out. Though I don't know...I would have to tell them all to find out, but I'm not doing that anytime soon.
            
            Some parts seem really easy when it comes to mask making and other parts seem a little bit hard depending on the animal you're trying to do and what technique. As far as what I gathered from doing some research on my own to get a few ideas going.
            
            Ooooo! I would definitely read the tutorial book when you start making it! That would be helpful for future projects I'm sure! Thank you!

          So I made up my mind...
          
          I will not be doing a video on the tail because it could actually come tomorrow- That and I don't have the will power to wait to open it because I'm so freaking excited for this tail to come.
          
          Though it probably won't come tomorrow only because it hasn't been shipped yet just had the sticker made, but it could still come tomorrow, but I highly doubt it. So if not tomorrow it could come anywhere from the 17th-19th.
          
          So what I was thinking inssstteeeaaaddd...was doing a blind box opening. I know what box I want. I tried to buy it, but my bank blocks everything, it's so freaking st*pid I literally hate it and hate talking to people, but the box is very limited and there's like 20 other people looking at the same item. So tomorrow morning I have to make sure the box is still available and if it is, repurchase it, call my bank and tell them it's not fraud.
          
          Once I get the box I'll then make a video of opening the box and all that jazz. Which should be fun in itself and luckily with the type of laptop I have it can convert to an ipad and the screen is touchscreen so recording won't be too much of an issue as far as needing to do overhead shots of the stuff, if need be. 
          
          So that's my idea, if it can still happen by tomorrow, if not then I'll find something else to do a blind box on. Maybe of a mask or something. 
          
          And yes I am still doing my intro video-
          
          I haven't been able to get around to doing it. I've been pretty busy with work and meetings and new training is happening I haven't had time to do much with the video. I will try and get on that soon enough.

          So I've been debating with myself within the last 48-ish hours. Or close to it.
          
          I've been deciding if I want to make a video of me opening the tail or not-
          
          I mean it would be cool to get that as a video, but at the same time can I wait until I make a video of me opening it?
          
          Now that's the real question.
          
          Because I don't think I could wait- Or maybe I can, I don't know, but I'm pretty excited to getting this tail I might not be able to wait until I start a video. I guess we'll see. As far as I know the tail hasn't been shipped yet so I still got some time to think..........
          
          I mean...opening just a tail seems a bit too short for a video right? Like people would want to see more right? Not just a tail? A tail is a tail at the end of the day right?
          
          I guess some might say, "But it's the reaction we're after."
          
          True, but still the video would be short still because what am I going to do?
          
          Introduce myself, talk about how I got the tail, possibly where I got the tail, what breed of fox it came from, how long it is, maybe verbally go over the story of getting the tail, then opening said tail, recording the reaction, maybe even put the tail on, talk about how much I love it and how good it looks on me, then end video ???
          
          Okay...now that I kinda made a baseline maybe it could be longer than like 5-10 minutes.......
          
          Eh we'll see. We'll see. 
          
          I might make a video- MIGHT keyword there is might I am not making any promises, plus I still have to publish my official introduction video before I can even do any other videos...so there's that too-

          So today my boyfriend and I went out for dinner and I dressed up as a wolf. I was wearing the colors of my theriotype, had some ears on, tail, paws, and leg warmers. Nothing too out there and as we were walking into the restaurant it wasn't that busy, but there were people getting ready to leave and we were getting looks and I was being laughed at. I just pretended I didn't notice as the tables were of older folks that don't understand, so I get it. 
          
          They were pointing and laughing at me and a guy from the group wouldn't stop looking at me or stop shaking his head like he was disappointed or just couldn't understand why. Then the first group was leaving they were walking out the door giggling like a bunch of girls and one of them, kid you not, went "Meow" and the group just busted out in laughter, but I almost, ALMOST went, "Actually it's woof, not meow." But I kept my mouth shut and had to stop myself from laughing.
          
          My boyfriend didn't hear which was a good thing because he's a bit sensitive to lots of attention. The server we had was very nice and treated us like normal guests and I acted normal. I wasn't running around or anything like most people think Therians and Furries do, but we don't, unless one chooses to.
          
          After we got our food we were literally the only ones in the restaurant the entire time we were there so it was really a blessing.

          OH MY GOSH!
          
          So I've been watching some Therian comps lately on YouTube when there's nothing else to watch and I've been seeing videos of people filming themselves "sleeping" as their theriotype and honestly I kinda knew I was doing this myself. Like I would fall asleep felling pretty shifty and would curly up like a wolf going to sleep or I would wake up from a position my theriotype might have been in.
          
          But the other day I was still sleeping and my boyfriend had come home from work because he only had one delivery to do. So I was sprawled out across the bed, but not in a normal sprawl. I was diagonal laying on my side, legs straight and my paws up to my chest, but as my boyfriend got into bed I was stretching with my front paws going outwards and my boyfriend said, "We have to talk about your sleeping positions."
          
          I just started laughing. I mean come on I can't help it. I sleep like a wolf. On top of that I'm a pack animal so I like to sleep very close to him even though he doesn't like it. I tell him to wake me up and ask me to move over, but he refuses. You know it's kinda on him for that one. He says he doesn't want to wake me, but I tell him that I'll wake up, move and go back to sleep. Like it's not that big of a deal, but he's a green flag and will let me take more than half of the bed to sleep the way I want to.
          
          Well what can I say? He's dating a wolf-

            The nest idea is a really good one. I hope that it helps you out!

@xTheWritersDenx I try and satiate the craving that’s strongest, but Ive seen something like a nest bed made out of sheets i want to try, it looks like all my species would enjoy it!!! I haven’t had many shift with multiple species, but theyre often super strong

          Few things...
          
          1). I think I'm going to have a schedule for potentially posting on my YouTube.
          
          So either on Mondays or on Wednesdays for sure, any other day is a possibility in case I wasn't able to post anything on Monday or Wednesday. 
          
          2). I have come up with a costume idea for Halloween and the Renfaire that I would love to go to this year. 
          
          I will be dressing as a Skeleton Viking Wolf. I did try and make the outfit a bit on the meh side, and this is because I want to be able to do Quads and I can't do that in a dress very well. So I went with a really cute skirt, and I'll wear leggings under it, I have a black shirt that can be on the shoulder or off, a fake fur vest, some hair accessories, boots, belt, and there's other things I have to find yet that I want to add then to the costume.
          
          The costume itself is going to be very expensive, so the idea is I'll buy things over time so I'm not buying them all at once with a huge bill. On top of that I plan to alter the mask I have as well. So there's money going towards that. All in all this will be the most expensive costume I ever did and I am so freaking excited about it!
          
          I'm going to try and talk my boyfriend into dressing up as well and talk him into being the hunter-
          
          You know...the hunter hunting the wolf sort of speak.
          
          I wish I could wear this very costume to work, but I know for a fact I would not be allowed. So I might take Halloween off this year. I don't know yet, I might try to play around with the costume idea to try and be able to wear it at work as well, but we'll see on that one.
          
          So that's my news as of right now. Just wanted to plug these in here and let people know what is happening. I'll also do videos of my costume eventually too. Might even show what I get over time and tell people what the items are for and the plans for them.

@ackhlysmisery I'll be in a mask so it won't be too bad. I'll wear everything once I get everything, but as I am getting stuff I won't be wearing it. I have a lot of things in my "Costume" Amazon list that is anywhere from $20-30 so I might only be able to get 2-3 different items at a time. But once I get all the items I'll share what it looks like. :D
