In May 2023 we went to the German Fetish Ball week in Berlin. It was so much fun doing it in 2019 so I kigged at two events, the river cruise and the main ball on Saturday night, and it was a lot of fun. Before it got too busy I was able to get in some dancing on the dance floor, then watched the fashion show before heading outside for some cool river air.
It was amazing to spend time with old and new kigurumi friends!

The year started out with my first trip to a Furry convention, ScotiaCon in my hometown of Glasgow. Furry Yui had a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to going again in 2023. After some easter pics at home we headed out to Mach2 for a dance party and to help with tea service. Redflare500 (twitter) made some amazing art from the event.
Next came MCM London with a small stage performance as Bang Dream! with friends. This was a lot of fun. We also went to MCM Birmingham later in the year and did a Sailor Scout group cosplay, with e being Sailor Jupiter. Also in the year a windy trip to Whitby for the Goth Weekend, a summer meet and wrapping off the year with a Christmas meet.
Thanks to all my friends, helpers, photographers for making this a memorable year. Photos in this set by Jade Tatsuko, Mermaid Fenicia, Cloud Tied, Amity DeWolf, Jackie Izumi, and Grimly.
We rented a house near to Whitby so we could attend the Whitby Goth Weekend in October 2022. It was a lot of fun to be Darkness Yui. After getting lots of pics around town we went to the steam train station nearby and got some great pics with the trains.

In May 2022 we went to MCM ComicCon in London and met up with some Kigurumi friends. My first outfit was a pink cosplay from BanG Dream! Pastel*Palettes. Next I did my original IF from Hyperdimension Neptunia. It’s always fun cosplaying Iffy as she has a lot of pockets to store my phone and wallet. On the Sunday another BanG Dream cosplay as Maya, this time with Jade and Helenako as matching band members and where we did a little performance.
In 2019 @PeachyPig made me a furry moose Yui. A few years later I was able to show her off at Glasgow ScotiaCon 2022. It was my first fursuit convention and it was so much fun.
On the first day I wore my steampunk/gothic map dress and corset belt and took pictures of the squinty-bridge and Clyde crane. I tried being a concierge, but it’s hard when you can’t speak. The best part was meeting so many cute floofy fursuiters.
That night was the disco and wore a cute sparkly lycra outfit and holographic shoes and had a little dance.
Saturday I wore my orange-red maid outfit and had fun in the rain, inside the hotel, and in a room full of inflatable toys.
Looking forward to ScotiaCon 2023!
After 2020 with no events things started happening again. I had some friends over for fun Kig times, went to MCM Birmingham Comic Con and large Christmas meet.

It was great to be able to get back to events, and our first for a while was the MCM ComicCon in Birmingham in November 2021. On the first day I took Coconut from Nekopara. These photos from day two are in my BanG Dream outfit, cosplaying Maya from Pastel*Palettes

No events this year, but lots of fun at home. I got some new outfits including a wedding dress, and two outfits of Maya from BanG Dream! Pastel*Pallettes. I got a FurKig (a fursona transformation of Yui).
I also made some new latex outfits this year; the latex top, leggings, and apron. The patterns are available for free on my github page.
2019 was full of fun, events, and meeting lots and lots of friends:
Spring
We started the year with the 3rd anniversary of being a Kigu and a long weekend latex retreat away in the country with Skye. I got to ride in a sidecar, drink beer, and play on an inflatable unicorn! I wore a new dress we designed for this event, full of love hearts, made by the awesome folks at Black Sheep Latex.
Next was one of the usual highlights of the year, Yorkshire Cosplay Con. We had fun, we took photos, and even had Spencer Wilding (aka Darth Vader) trying on a kigu mask. He’s so tall! Afterwards we went bowling, which I think was a first for UK kigus? I have kig bowled before in 2018 in Toronto, but did worse this time, coming third, but it was still great fun.
In May we went for a week in Berlin for GFB. The first outing for Travel-Yui. I was able to get in some dancing on the dance floor on the Saturday main ball, then watched the fashion show before heading outside for some cool river air.
Summer
A group of kigus from around the UK met up for a house party. We had an organised trip to the Peak Rail station and got lots of photos with the staff and a steam train. The house was full of inflatable pool toys…. but no pool. I’m not a big fan of water anyway.
Next off to Montreal for Montreal Fetish Weekend for a week of fun events kigging with some old and new friends. I wore my new Sakura themed pink dress and we walked the fashion show catwalk. I was a little nervous and so ended up forgetting all my practiced walk. We also took a walk around Montreal, taking the Metro into the centre. We surprised the locals and tourists with a few hundred people in the most amazing latex and fetish outfits. For the main event I took the Sakura dress with LED skirt overlay to the dance party.
In the past I’ve experimented with 3D video and this year I bought a VR camera so we could make some kigu content for VR headsets. I published a few of these on YouTube (so if you have a VR headset like an Oculus or even a PSVR you can find the videos in YouTube and watch them). Most of them are stereo 180 3D VR (although a few are mono 360).
Autumn
Autumn started with another long latex weekend away in the country with Skye and another hotel for us to help run. I found this vintage ambulance perfect for with my nurse outfit. I’m not sure why but everyone said they started feeling ill and in need of nurse attention.
Then in November the Glasgow Anime event, Raicon. I took my new lolita-style dress bought from Souffle Song and met up with some old and new friends.
Winter
And, just like that, 2019 was nearly over. Just time to fit in a weekend event with a couple of dozen European kigus in Derbyshire. There were castles, weddings, fireworks, and even a mention of us in the local newspaper.
Not much streaming on cam this year, although I did a Christmas Day live present unwrapping to make up for it.
We hope 2019 was good to you too. We’ve lots of fun things planned for 2020 including some overseas events.
On behalf of both myself and Jade we wish you peace and prosperity for 2020.
Photos in this post were taken by Natalie, Jade, Xelphie, Blanche, Keital, Cloud. Also many thanks to everyone else who took photos of me or was a handler.
Off to Montreal for Montreal Fetish Weekend, but it was more like a whole week of fun events. I got to kig with some old and new friends.
I wore my new Sakura themed pink dress and we walked the fashion show catwalk. I was a little nervous and so ended up forgetting all my practiced walk and did a really quick cat”run” instead.
We took a walk around Montreal, taking the Metro station into the centre. I think we suprised the locals and tourists with a few hundred people in the most amazing latex and fetish outfits. I really enjoyed the walk, it was a nice day with a gentle breeze and everyone wanted to stop us for photographs. I wore my blue kawaii latex dress for the walk.
For the main event I took the Sakura dress with LED skirt overlay to the dance party. We arrived early and quickly headed to the dancefloor where we danced the night away. When we went outside to cool off we met some latex models including Biana.
I really enjoyed my time in Montreal, the people were so friendly, and I’d love to go back some day.
