Generally speaking, a fursuiter is someone who acts, performs, or creates a non-promotional (i.e; pro mascots) animal/reptile/etc charecter. Now, this is always open to discussion, as some of us do use our 'suits for fundraising, or hired to promote someones event. Thats just my $0.02.

I think the definition of "fursuit" is pretty broad and can easily accomodate everything from only tails and ears to face painting to full bodied character/mascot-style suits. Â

When I started, folks referred to the full bodied suits as either character costumes (like the ones I wore at Disneyland) or mascots (like the ones seen at sporting events or promoting products). Â I really don't know when the term "fursuit" arrived, though it seems to have come sometime after the first ConFurence. Â My memory seems to recall they were still simply called costumes at that con.
By the way, if you are equine in fursona, rather than gloves, try formulating a hoof.

There are some good hoof ideas via Hooves and Joey Leaf Runners yahoo clubs. Ive always just been ok with ears and tail tho a full fursuit would be cool. Only way Ill get one is custom order tho, not many in my size.
