FeliciaDivine: Hi i’m with JWFoulFellow who is a wonderful furry designer and runs one of IMVU’s oldest and most successful Furry Clubs, Tails! Entertainment
FeliciaDivine: I would like to start with the past JW, so how did you find out about IMVU and what made you decide to be here?
JWFoulfellow: Well Felicia let me first start out with a Small Correction Tails! is not just a Furry Club but an all species Club where all come to enjoy themselves.
JWFoulfellow: A friend of mine told me about IMVU on another chat site IMC.com Its a text based chat site cant do much there but I was drawn here to IMVU based on you can actually do stuff.
JWFoulfellow: I arrived here in April and by Late September Tails! was born
FeliciaDivine: so it was the visual aspect that drew you, but wasn’t IMVU a bit cartoony back then, you have been here since about the beginning?
FeliciaDivine: over 8 years
JWFoulfellow: yes I came here about 07
FeliciaDivine: Did you start off wanting to be a designer?
JWFoulfellow: it wasn’t toony but the graphics did have much to be desired
JWFoulfellow: Someone I was involved with mentioned that maybe I could make some items that were less graphic deficient
Tealsong: oooh i remember those graphics *barf*
JWFoulfellow: so I started out
JWFoulfellow: started with a club
JWFoulfellow: then moved to some furniture items
JWFoulfellow: then my sister at the time Queen of Foxes at the time supported me further and I began clothing
JWFoulfellow: very cool
JWFoulfellow: Tails! was started by myself and MissVickson who was out very first Tails Gal
JWFoulfellow: we’ve gone through about 16 shells to our current one
FeliciaDivine: 16 room versions?
JWFoulfellow: yep
FeliciaDivine: in 8 years I guess that is pretty good, people like changes
JWFoulfellow: at one time we also had 6 tails! Franchises
FeliciaDivine: that is amazing
JWFoulfellow: the number of tails cast in those days was about 50-60
JWFoulfellow: at one time I also had 3 tails Clubs open myself with about 30 cast
FeliciaDivine: are there some people you would like to credit for your success or give a shout out to?
Tealsong: I remember Tails when I was new to imvu
Tealsong: lol lucky me
JWFoulfellow: there are so many….
KatDFoulfellow: *pours a mug of Guinness stout, and pours a half shot of Baileys and a half shot of Jamesons….picking both up, she walks over to Peri…dropping the shot glass into the Guiness, she hands the mug to Peri and says Slan Chava

JWFoulfellow: high diddley dee an actors life for me
FeliciaDivine: well you do look like a lovable rogue (he even has a fancy hat to go with the look)
Nimbusmccloud: I was right this is far better than bein a bouncer lol
JWFoulfellow: well thank you
KatDFoulfellow: ya got the lovable rogue part right, fel!!!!
FeliciaDivine: You have a really popular club still, do you think it has anything to do with your meeting and marrying my sister?
JWFoulfellow: well she’s brought it up a few notches
FeliciaDivine: You two seem happy these days and I have seen a lot of people coming back into this place. Last year was rough on everyone.
JWFoulfellow: so I do give credit where credit is due
JWFoulfellow: yeah it was
JWFoulfellow: came damn close to closing up
KatDFoulfellow: all I did was bring it to your attention….
JWFoulfellow: til a little kitty convinced me to keep it open
JWFoulfellow: and I am so glad I listened to her
FeliciaDivine: Well I am glad you stayed and the club has been revamped. It looks and feels great to be in this room
FeliciaDivine: by the way I am a fox not a kitty 🙂
KatDFoulfellow: heh!! I refused to let you close up shop!!!
FeliciaDivine: i wiki’d my persona
Tealsong: when we saw JW was back we all ran back to the best club we knew
Tealsong: that’s the truth Fel
JWFoulfellow: you need the best vixen head in the world then
JWFoulfellow: cuz that ish kitty head
FeliciaDivine: this is the head that came with the bundle hahaha, I thought it looked like a cat
KatDFoulfellow: if JW isn’t in the club…then I am….
JWFoulfellow: hee hee
Tealsong: the Queen!
JWFoulfellow: yes you are my love
FeliciaDivine: Well the best looking clubs don’t always do well, it takes a great owner and manager. I have found you (JW) and Myst to be great.
KatDFoulfellow: *grins*
FeliciaDivine: Speaking of MystScafati, you two have a past as well
JWFoulfellow: yes we do
JWFoulfellow: and ya know
JWFoulfellow: I couldn’t ask for a better management team here
JWFoulfellow: cuz thats what we are a team
FeliciaDivine: I know you two argue sometimes, probably have rip the walls down arguments, but you two do respect each other at the end of the day
JWFoulfellow: yeah we do
JWFoulfellow: but ya know
JWFoulfellow: we was married for a long time
JWFoulfellow: and together before that
JWFoulfellow: so yeah its natural
Tealsong: that’s the way it is, we squabble sometimes but as adults we finally calm down and settle things without drama
JWFoulfellow: ya cant always agree
JWFoulfellow: just as me and Kat do
FeliciaDivine: I wish more people could be like that Teal 🙂
JWFoulfellow: we sometimes get into arguments
JWFoulfellow: but ya know we don’t go to bed angry
JWFoulfellow: at least I hope not
FeliciaDivine: that is wonderful 🙂
Tealsong: precisely
KatDFoulfellow: *nods*
JWFoulfellow: again a couple has to have disagreements
JWFoulfellow: other wise its a boring life
JWFoulfellow: Kat is my right paw
JWFoulfellow: and being that i’m right pawed rl wise
KatDFoulfellow: there are days when boring is good…but not always….
JWFoulfellow: if I didn’t have her id be lost
FeliciaDivine: Ok JW, time to let your mind flow with possibilities. What do you hope to do this year? And what do you want to see happen with the club and your designing? Are you hoping to franchise again?
JWFoulfellow: well this year i’d love to see the company take off at warp speed
JWFoulfellow: be full of patrons
JWFoulfellow: the return of the waiting list
JWFoulfellow: and maybe need to open a 2nd or 3rd club again
JWFoulfellow: as for franchising that wont happen again
JWFoulfellow: too many bad things happened
JWFoulfellow: so that wont happen again
JWFoulfellow: as for Foulfellow Studios
Tealsong: franchises are fraught with problems if you not have all parties following agreements…….its too chancy
JWFoulfellow: if I can ever learn to mesh,…. There will be a 17th Tails shell
JWFoulfellow: based on real life blueprints that I have for Tails!
JWFoulfellow: that I drew up
JWFoulfellow: and should I learn meshing
JWFoulfellow: expect great new things from Foulfellow Studios
JWFoulfellow: perhaps even….
FeliciaDivine: fantastic
JWFoulfellow: Hitting Pro
JWFoulfellow: i’ve come so close in the past
JWFoulfellow: 1 or 2 Tier points off
FeliciaDivine: you can get advice from JakMesh, MissVix, oOKabbyOo, DarkAngel5, Bonkolina or I
Tealsong: they all are good folks too…….XD
JWFoulfellow: first I have to master the program
FeliciaDivine: which program are you studying?
JWFoulfellow: i was using 3dsmax but I refuse to pay 5 grand for it
JWFoulfellow: i’m not looking into blender
JWFoulfellow: now*
FeliciaDivine: I don’t blame you, I use Sketch Up 8 for meshing and Gimp 2.6 for texturing
FeliciaDivine: im cheap 🙂
JWFoulfellow: maybe have to look into sketch up
KatDFoulfellow: brb
JWFoulfellow: then you can learn me it
JWFoulfellow: tyt love
FeliciaDivine: tyt
FeliciaDivine: JW is there anything you want people to know about you that hasn’t already been said?
JWFoulfellow: back in the day the blue prints I have to tails the actual building construction would have been 10 million
JWFoulfellow: only that what you see is what you get
FeliciaDivine: thank god IMVU lets us create more cheaply
JWFoulfellow: indeed
JWFoulfellow: but then again you cant get the numbers the club was designed for
FeliciaDivine: yes, people tend to crash if there are more than a dozen people in the room
JWFoulfellow: mmhmm
Tealsong: maybe make “mini-Tails” for those time large numbers of folks want to visit?
Tealsong: low kb, designed for special events?
FeliciaDivine: JW I noticed your always in Fox form, is that because you prefer it most?
JWFoulfellow: and you see this is why Mousey has become the icon
JWFoulfellow: i’m a fox….
JWFoulfellow: plain and simple
JWFoulfellow: I do have other options
JWFoulfellow: but when you come down to it
JWFoulfellow: I am a fox
FeliciaDivine: a fox, a designer, a club owner with a passion
JWFoulfellow: that’s me
FeliciaDivine: I am glad to be your friend JW and your sister in law
FeliciaDivine: huggles 🙂
JWFoulfellow: hugs- Im glad you ish too
JWFoulfellow: Though I remember one thing you said
Tealsong: I agree……..:D
Tealsong: insane badger/mouse but its good to have family here
FeliciaDivine: huggles Teal 🙂
JWFoulfellow: if you’d have met me earlier. You’d have tried to be Mrs Foulfellow
JWFoulfellow: but ya know Fel…
JWFoulfellow: I’m so lucky I got Kat
FeliciaDivine: yes, i’m a social butterfly, a wisp of inspiration, manic. Kat is stable, fun and intelligent, you two make a great couple
JWFoulfellow: she’s given me more then I ever dreamed possible
