Looks like my mom finally got to know about my being a scaly!  Apparently my strategy of letting them find out for themselves worked!  Although, I must suspect some preconceived notion of furies existed until she learned I was one.

well not to talk you out of it but some people would make comments of it being stupid or sometimes treating them like sex toys.

Same here. Some people around here think anything not designer fashion is either:

a) Goth/emo aka "Of the devil"
or
b) Sex gear

But I wore it thought the end of sophomore, the full of junior, and the beginning of senior year, so people got used to it (Except for the newbs each year. Heh, newbs.) Most people are pretty tolerant/don't care about that kinda stuff though. :P

cant wait for a designer to use collars and make it fashionable, even though it kinda is right now. it's just not reconized yet. And yes, those two a) b) are the most common things collars relate to, and not furry  T_T

unlikely, we are mocked all the time by trolls and i mean u dont see goths or bdsm on tv a whole lot now do you? furries seem to be on tv way more then those two groups. i dunno, never seen furries or the two groups on tv yet, like on teh news.
