Feline Friday: BurlyCon Flashback!

Image
I'm still recovering from the awesomeness that was BurlyCon 2019. I'm a co-founder and the Vice-President of BurlyCon, and we spend all year working to make it great. While every year is amazing, this year was possibly the best yet! It was also one of the fiercest! I've been creating leopard print gatherings for years now, but at BurlyCon it's just a natural presence -- I spotted it everywhere! If you didn't get to send me a pic when I posted in the BurlyCon message board, send me one now! I want to see all your leopard -- although this post is just for people who wore leopard print at BurlyCon 2019. If you missed sending me one before this post, I may be able to add it! Email fierce@historyofleopardprint.com. First, check out me with some of the stylish attendees of my Fierce: The History of Leopard Print lecture! <3 a="" add="" an="" and="" at="" board="" burlycon="" but="" c
