For the starter topic, I'm grabbing a post from last thread that really caught my interest but didn't generate much discussion: does the distinction between an "idol" and a "cute performer" lie in idol culture? Aka, "The use of calls, wotagei, the relationship between fan and performer, chekis, badges, etc. at events, a combination of singing and dancing, the types of personalities of members, and more. There’s a lot of components that go into calling a person or a genre 'idol'". Do you agree with this? If not, what do you define as an idol, and how can overseas performers reach to meet that definition?

Last time I went, other than A-Kon this year, was in my late 20's and overall con's were a lot smaller.When I went to A-Kon this year I was amazed at how massive it was compared to the last time, which was in 2011. Con's being smaller and being younger made it easier to relate to other fans but now it seems a lot harder.
So what do the older, 30 and over con goers do? I mean going to a room party with kids half my age doesn't sound fun as well as a huge risk. There are panels but are there other events for older con attendee's?/mkg/ - Mobile Kanojo/Kareshi General/mkg/ - Mobile Kanojo/Kareshi General #12

This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. So, consider this a thread for those whose style is on the right half of Buttcape's Lolita Family Triangle: http://www.kawacura.com/moripress/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/0dmmLH6-350x350.jpg

Is dream dress hunting still a thing?Jfash Portraits 3i have hoarded many photos of jfashionistas that i think have artistic value beyond the usual coord shot or selfie. i would like to share some. they will include all kinds of Japanese alternative fashion, and subjects may be any age or gender; and they will NOT be images from publications such as KERA, Fruits, etc.; so i hope there will be good inspiration for a variety of seagulls.
this is a continuation of 2 prior threads, which reached the image cap:
in the last thread, i shared trends such as close-ups (>>10293442), faceless portraits that can preserve anonymity without having to censor the photo (>>10293464), portraits using reflective surfaces (>>10293550), how subjects may be isolated within crowded spaces (>>10293582), how angled portraits can not only isolate the subject but shape the relationship between them and the viewer (>>10293962), the trend of "dining with the subject" (>>10295589), the very popular choice of park settings for portraits (>>10295861), moody portraits in narrow color schemes (>>10297702), and portraits that consciously over-expose or use brightness (>>10300641).
there are some more trends to explore. many photos use color to showcase the alternative fashion style, and i want to go through a rainbow of portraits to see what patterns might emerge.Bodyline General>The new dresses edition!

While no one is entitled to that information, it’s sad to see the community close itself off like this.

Are they supportive? Quietly embarrassed? Openly opposed?Active cosplay photosCan we please have a thread with cosplay photos where characters actually intetact with each other or with their environment?
I'm so fed up with cosplay photos where the cosplayer just poses against a cool background or has chosen a stiff fighting stance. My problem is, I can't really find photos that would spice this up, where the characters would actually do something related to their series.
So cosplay photos that are like still scenes, where characters e.g. have a tea party, actually emote an react to things, scenes from their series, mpve with a purpose etc.
The most general I can find are duel and fighting photos or dancing, but anything beyond that would be highly appreciated!
Pic related was the "best" I could find in a pinch.No titleWhat is the best online place to buy manga-inspired t-shirts?Black Friday: Deals & Discussion ThreadBlack Friday is soon upon us, gulls. What are you picking up? What's your battle plan?
I'm planning ahead for a costume in July. I managed to pick up 4yds of Symphony Broadcloth from Joann's for $1.99 per yard (~$9 total) through their Beat the Black Friday Doorbusters sale. I still need a loop turner, some patterns, and a contrast fabric (though I haven't decided which yet).

I am aware it sounds a bit like a request... But fact is, I have become kinda obsessed with The Expanse series.
The main aspects that interest me are: - Mars Congressional Republic Navy Uniforms - Several styles of fatigues shown in the movie (including t-shirts) - Basic clothing and their brands
My goal is not strictly cosplay, but larping in general (cyberpunk stuff). As per random clothing displayed in the movie, I'd love to wear a couple of things in my everyday life. I know I am not on /fashion/, but maybe the cosplay community might help.
In the following posts I will try to point at some examples of what I am unable to find.Cosplay Shooting/Photography behind the scenesI thought it would be maybe interesting to talk about the work that is put into cosplay photos.
