Cosplays have become quite popular over the years. While a lot of cosplay involves characters from such iconic genres like Star Wars, Star Trek or the Marvel and DC universes, anime-inspired cosplays also have a huge fan-base.
And as any anime fan knows, one of the cutest characters you can find in animes are those cute demi-humans who have animal ears and animal tails. Those tails are easy enough to cosplay but one London-based company has made a business out of making beautifully crafted tails that you can wear even with your everyday clothes.
Charlene Shoben, who also calls herself The Master Tailer, and her creative team cater to this unique and very niche market with her custom animal tails.point 238 |
The 32-year-old handcrafts these tails from her London studio.point 54 | These animal tails can either come from the animal kingdom or from fantasy.point 117 | So whether you want fluffy dog or fox tails or dragon and devil tails, Charlene is your go-to gal.point 197 | 1
But these tails are more than just static eye candy because they can even wag or curl up using a remote control!
Charlene said: “I’ve always wanted a tail, and I think that’s pretty common!
“We all dress up with tails as a child, so I thought I could do a little better than a bit of fur on some elastic, so I designed an animatronic system that could be adapted to all sorts of creatures!
“There’s nothing more magic than something you’ve made springing to life at the touch of a button. I love it.”
Asked who would want to buy her products and what’s attractive about them, Charlene replied: “Our tails are worn by cosplayers, party people, festival-goers and Furries.
“You’re all grown up and serious but your tail is doing the naughty stuff.
“It’s your frisky side and it’s immediately read by others as a window to your mood.
“I honestly believe that inside everyone there is a ‘tailer’ wanting to come out to play.”
One thing’s for sure, cosplay will never be the same again!
