Dear Margo column: When Your Ears Are Part of Your Outfit

Furries In The Media - Wed 13 Oct 2010 - 20:59
No one seems to have picked this one up, so I thought Id send it in.br /br /a href=http://www.wowowow.com/life/dear-margo-dealing-dying-friends-499156A letter-writer asks Margo Howard about the etiquette of wearing cat ears/a (scroll down to the second letter) to the wedding of a bride who requested they not be worn. Margo enthusiastically gives her a green light; numerous commenters chastise the writer for doing something childish and disrespectful.br /br /The letter-writer is never explicitly identified as a furry, and doesnt allude to a love for animals (anthropomorphic or otherwise) beyond her habit of wearing this tiger-ear headband that her husband had given her years before. Given that the wearing of ears is closely associated with our fandom, however---a fact that did not escape some of the commenters---I believe this column is relevant.br /br /(For my part, I suspect she is in fact a furry, but left out that bit of context to avoid falling down a rabbit hole explaining the fandom.)

Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 10 Oct 2010 - 12:28

Celebrated humorist and essayist David Sedaris has a new hardcover short story collection out entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary. In essence, it’s a collection of new Aesop’s fables, but told with Sedaris’ unique wit. Here’s the description from Amazon.com: “Featuring David Sedaris’s unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life. In “The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck,” three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In “Hello Kitty,” a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In “The Squirrel and the Chipmunk,” a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members. With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children’s books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.” It’s also available as an audio book read by the author and others.
