... wow...

how hot must it have been in that suit?

The bodysuit's a little silly but I love the shaping on that head!! It has a level of realism most school mascots don't have nowadays. Usually their faces are comically distorted into a huge snarl, which isn't as cute.

I think I have a fursuit crush on this tiger. ;) Great find.

That's a lovely suit, and he knows how to perform and make it look good too. It strikes me that the girl he's dancing with is dressed for the 1920s, too, where all the others are wearing gowns appropriate to the late '40s. I wonder what was going on here?

Great performance indeed!
The old LOOK and LIFE photographers really knew how to tell a story visually!

The stripes look more like slashed jeans.
OMG! That's where A&F got the idea for slashed jeans!
