These images are from the London Furry Convention. As if adults wandering about in costumes weren't bizarre enough, throw in random group hug sessions, games of musical hugs, a disco, and you’re there: Teddy Bear’s Picnic on weapons-grade narcotics.
As far as the London Furry Convention is concerned, as long as you're furry, you're fashionable. The selection of animals at this London event included a meerkat, boars, wolves, big dogs, fuzzy foxes, a dragon, and a good sprinkling of bears.
