Unique: US Navy woman Jordan Jones has revealed how she spends her free time dressing up as a giant cartoon husky
A US Navy woman has revealed how she spends her free time masquerading as a giant husky dog in a handcrafted fursuit in order to entertain her 23.6K Instagram followers - but she insists the quirky extra curricular activity isn't a sexual fetish for her.
US Navy aircrew survival equipmentman, Jordan Jones, 21, from Henryville, Indiana, first discovered the furry fandom when she was 18 after seeing a group of people dressed in fursuits in public and loved the idea. However, when she learned that the suits cost anywhere between $3,000 to $5,200 to buy, she put her dream of joining the fandom on hold.
Then, last year Jordan was browsing Instagram and discovered the fursuits again; this time she decided she would make her own and spent just $400 on materials to make her suit, which then took a month-and-a-half of handcrafting to complete.
Incredible pictures show Jordan as her doggy alter-ego, Aurora Bloom, meeting Bumblebee from the Transformers franchise, on the beach, and hanging out with young children at a Halloween party.
For Jordan who is currently stationed in California, the best thing about the furry fandom is the positivity and people it has connected her with whilst offering her an escape from her hectic life through being able to portray her character.
Whilst for some, the hobby might be a sexual fetish, Jordan doesn't partake in this aspect of the fandom, with her husband, Bailey, completely supportive of her pastime.
'I saw a group of fursuiters in public once and I loved them. After that I researched more on where to buy one, and found they are around three to five thousand dollars. Being only 18 at the time I couldn't afford one and dropped the idea for a few years,' said Jordan.
'Last winter, I came across fursuits on Instagram and from there it started again and it's when I decided I was going to make my very own.
Transformation: The 21-year-old first discovered the world of furry fandom on Instagram when she was just 18, and soon came up with the idea for her fluffy alter ego, Aurora Bloom (right)
Fun: Jordan, who is married, insists that her hobby has nothing to do with fulfilling a sexual fantasy, despite that being the case for a number of people who partake in the furry lifestyle
'I personally spent about $400 on the materials to make my suit, but since I made it myself the cost is much cheaper than if I were to buy it from another suit maker.
'Fursuit making is a very difficult and time-consuming task, since every custom suit is tailored to the persons exact measurements and their custom characters. One like mine will usually run at about three to five thousand dollars.
'Being a furry has honestly changed my life in almost every aspect, definitely for the better. I've gotten back into art and my creativity is at its peak.
'I love the people the most. I've met so many sweet and caring individuals and made some amazing friends in just the short time I've been a part of it. I am grateful for all of my followers that enjoy my content as well.
'I love bringing new photos to them and spreading positivity.'
The furry fandom is a subculture interested in animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.
Man and... furry? The furry enthusiast says her husband, Bailey, who is in the US Army, is fully supportive of her lifestyle, even though he does not partake himself
Crafty: Jordan actually made her fursuit herself at home, after discovering that buying the suits can cost over $5,000
Making friends: 'I've met so many sweet and caring individuals and made some amazing friends in just the short time I've been a part of it,' Jordan says of her time spent as husky dog Aurora Bloom
Bye, haters: Although she has faced some criticism and negativity online, Jordan says that the response to her furry character in real life has been nothing but positive
Examples of these attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, speaking, walking on two legs and wearing clothes.
Jordan set up her Instagram account to share her furry adventures and now has 23.6K followers on the social media site.
Her hobby is no secret from her Navy colleagues, with Jordan even dressing up as Aurora for a recent Halloween event to entertain the children.
'My husband isn't a furry at all but supports me in every aspect of it. Everyone at my work does know about it too. They think it's cool.
'I've actually worn my suit to a Halloween event we had at work to entertain the kids.
'I get all kinds of reactions. Almost always positive. Kids come up to me for high fives, hugs and photos. Even adults ask for pictures with me. Some people are shy as well.
Online fame: Jordan set up her Instagram account to share her furry adventures and now has 23.6K followers on the social media site
Different path: 'The message I'd like to convey is that not all furries are only interested in the sexual fetish side of the fandom,' Jordan says of the lifestyle
Getting out there: Jordan attends conventions and events as Aurora Bloom
Helping hand: Jordan is open about her hobby with her Navy colleagues, and recently dressed up as Aurora to attend a family Halloween party of one of her co-workers
'I've yet to have any negative experience with the public yet. Anyone who is hateful towards me I usually ignore, especially online. It just fuels negativity.
'Most people who criticise or try to shame me aren't fully educated on the fandom. Kill them with kindness.
'The message I'd like to convey is that not all furries are only interested in the sexual fetish side of the fandom.
'This is the stereotypical thought when people think of furries. Just like every community, there are many who partake in the sexual aspect, but many do not.
'There is nothing wrong with being interested in that side of the fandom, and nobody should shame them for this either. It's just not for me personally.
'Most just enjoy acting like a giant animal and portraying their characters.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
