totally awkward tuesday – what the yiff?!?

This weeks edition of Tova’s Totally Awkward Tuesday – What the Yiff?!?

On our random day-trip to Pittsburgh we came across something odd. Alright, let me set this up for you: we arrive in Pittsburgh after a two-hour drive. We go to Ikea. After trying to get out of Ikea (didn’t realize we would get lost winding through the seemingly never-ending store) I was so hungry for a giant sandwich! So we headed to downtown.

I’m blabbering on and on to BF (as usual) about how I think one of my favorite Showtime shows was set in Pittsburgh (anyone know which show I’m talking about? :).

“Uh huh, uh huh,” he says, obviously half-caring about my nonsense. When all of a sudden he says “Is that girl dressed like a cat?”

“What?” I say, “No way. You’re crazy.”

I semi-ignored his silly comment and continued on with my story about Liberty Ave.

That was until I saw a dude with a furry tail.

Then. It. Hit me.

Someone at work had once told me that they were involved in a role playing fetish. This sex fetish is done in full on animal costumes. It turns out Pittsburgh throws some sort of conference or party for these fetish-goers once a year, in July. I had forgotten that Pittsburgh was some sort of yiffing (yes, look that up in google) safe-haven.

So then not only did I have to explain what it was, but then I had to tell BF how exactly I knew this piece of information. SUPER. ๐Ÿ˜›

    You know, I saw a CSI episode once (the original CSI – the one set in Las Vegas) which involved a convention like the one you describe. I'd never heard of it before and couldn't imagine it was a for real deal. I can't even imagine. In fact, for what it's worth, I'm still shaking my head and laughing at your story. Sheesh!

    CSI did an episode about that. I think they call themselves 'Plushies' or some such nonsense. There was definately yiffing involved.

    I'm with you though – I can't believe I have this stuff in my head ๐Ÿ™‚ laugh.

    Oh my. I've been to that Ikea, as well, which is quite confusing. Well, at least you know in case you find yourself there in a year.
