helloooo yes i am here to do finding-source work again. sorry i got addicted
anyways you may have seen the image above, i've seen it making rounds a lot on tumblr for being featured on the Wikipedia page for Caramelldansen, with the description "a furry performs Caramelldansen, 2009"
i really like this pic, and ive been curious about it for a while, specially because since its only seen from the back i really wanted to know what the suit looked like from the front
well, very fortunately to me, Wikipedia is very throughout with citing its sources both for its text and for its images. you can just go see all the details given by Wikipedia on this pic yourself right here
but regardless of all this info i got whats important, who the fursuit is and who it belongs to!
here it describes the suit as "Natalie Ceviche Lima", which leads to a page on Wikifur that explains that Natalie Ceviche Lima is the name of the fursuit, which belongs to a french user called Luciole.
the suit itself was created by the company Luskwood Creatures, and then put for sale. and fortunately, you can find the website post where it was announced for sale here
AAAAND BOOM! full pics of the suit!
including a video showcasing it being used in a con in 2008
as for who it belongs to, we know that because Luciole is the username of a FurAffinity user, who after the suit was put for sale in December 2008, started posting pictures of themself wearing the suit in January 2009, which matches the date in the Wikipedia image saying the suit was being used to perform Caramelldansen in 2009 (therefore, by Luciole)
though i won't link any posts i found from Luciole's FurAffinity as it seems they disabled their account so their content couldnt be accessed anymore, and i'll respect that.
but regardless this was very fun and im glad to finally satisfy my curiosity for knowing what the suit looked like!
