I've gotten stuck on leotard outfit designs again. Can a bunnysuit be a witch outfit with a change of hat?
Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

This one's for @howlitzer.art, a belated pride commission that turned into a more complex piece than anticipated. I really like the final result though! #Art #FurryArt
