As almost all of the summer look book releases are out, AP will start to churn out their autumn ones. Which prints are you most excited for? CCE is coming up soon, September 9-11.
Cosplay plans? Are you doing regular or swimsuit cosplays?
The con itself will likely be a bore as always, but who the fuck goes to CCE for normal con stuff?
No vax or mask bullshit, which is nice. On the other hand, a covid outbreak is pretty much a guarantee. Probably monkeypox as well, for the orgy/casual sex crowd. Haven't had one of these in a while now, have we? Just bought this in the largest size available on taobao which was a large I’m 6ft2 and 131 lbs with an extremely narrow chest waist & hips will it look good?
Once it arrives I’ll do a review if anyones interested Thin legs are the best.
Be it real or fake app. Doesn't matter. How gross are they from a 1 to 10 scale. Why they don't conver them. Why would I want to see a Chun Li or some cute character all tattooed It ruins the character's feel. What's next nose rings. Post you coord to be drawn by our lovely artists! New larp thread, now with 230% more Drachenfest.
Drachenfest soon fellow larpers! Everyone can make the bet: laser sun or schlammageddon?

Bonus question: What do conventions mean for you? There's a surprisingly high number of possible answers. Let's go to the beach, beetch I'm looking for good characters to cosplay who fit my body type. I think cosplay is best when the figure is matched well. Any inspiration would be appreciated
I've considered the Summerween Trickster The old one got archived, so here's a new thread. This is a bit late, but I made an America/cherry-themed capsule wardrobe for the 4th. In honor of Bridget's release in Guilty Gear Strive, please post all your Bridget cosplays. The more old school the better. With Iwai fast approaching and no discussion around for months, I believe the time has come. Here is the latest thread for info and updates on all (known) conventions within the Sunshine State. They are as follows

Is there discord drama? Probably, you just don’t know. It’s either dead, a secret channel or a completely different server.
Here are some up and comers, literally stolen off a different website so excuse me if the dates are wrong or if it exclusively favours some no name cons you’ve never heard of.
The formatting will probably mess up, but I’m a filthy phone poster and I’ve had this written in notes ready to copy paste post as soon as the old thread dies but it keeps churning along. Let’s help it make page 10 and leave, it can take all the drama posting with it. Step into the light and be reborn for hope and joy (experience may vary) are right around the corner.

Last time I did, I just tipped my top hat and said, "what a stunning cosplay, may I please have a photo?". They laughed awkwardly and ran away :(. I don't want to be a creep but I'd love to be friends with a trap cosplayer. I don't really want to talk to cis women cosplayers, no offense, but cis women cosplayers are kind of annoying and entitled. oh, also shallow, yeah.

Post cute usakumyas & kumakumyas Post cute handmade things, tips, guides, questions, whatever. Is Sexual harassment real or just a meme used by cosplayers to try to be funny, it seems like it judging from their pictures.
I never seen anyone get molested. Also it seems like something pretty hard to do given the amount of people and also cameras. Unless your con has open areas where there isn't a lot of people or cameras probability you can get away with it. A lot of girls tend to crossplay, but I've been seeing a significant amount of men now doing it, too. Guys unironically cosplaying girl characters. I assume the cosplay con community is simply getting bigger, but I've been in cons for ages. I never seen such a high amount of guys cosplaying as girl stuff than today. Even the guys ironically getting in girl uniforms or maid outfits seem to fit this trend.
What do you guys think about guys basically acting more like women in the convention space especially when it comes to cosplay. Lots of makeup, more flamboyant outfits, etc. 
I noticed nobody bothered to make another one of these since last one was archived. Here it is.

>Coord help I remember going to cons when I was in early college. I could always just hang out with people I just met. Sometimes I'd meet a cute girl and we'd go to a rave. Or, if I was in a group we'd all laugh and have a fun time. It always seemed like a new event or adventure to go to.
Recently though, cons have been so depressing for me. I guess I lost a lot of my friends because they moved or just got busy with other life stuff. I tried going solo to a con recently and almost cried because it was the most isolating experience. Maybe I'm just getting older? Idk, the magic is certainly gone. There's a con coming up in my home town again and am thinking about just skipping it and stop going to cons. Maybe it's just a right of passage during people's lives. I'd compare it to how the internet was in the early 2000's to how the internet is today. The internet used to be a silly place to post memes and socialize on forums. Now it's a place to get TikTok famous. Help me dye my hair /cgl/!

This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.

This is a thread exploring the reuse of old junk/clean up trash and kitbashing rather than well known techniques like EVA foam, hyper perfecting a cosplay with great fabric, 3D printing, clay sculpts, or straight up buying a costume from online. It won't look perfect, but many of the examples I see get the idea down and the key costume shapes/iconography down

are there like goth clubs i can wear goth lolita stuff to in bongland? i've been going to cons for about a decade and havent made any friends. i guess most of the time i was underage but idk how people see repeat "con friends" and im a little jealous when i see big groups hanging together. my goal at whatever con i go to next is to exchange social media with at least 5 people. what are the best social cons? how did you meet your friends? any tips? besides looking cool and cosplaying. bc plenty of people will take my pics but it pretty much just stops there and photoshoots are full of 14 yr olds Does anyone else see a connection between cosplay and borderline personality disorder?
Like every cosplayer I know has it. I have it too First out Meta’s Chiffon Tiered JSK (preferably in ivory ) Anyone managed to get in this year? Or went at the weird mini-con they did last year?

MMFWCL! no price check thread in the catalog i could find. how much should i be looking to shell out for this? the green just went for 240USD i'll make this short and simple. i decided to do miku for my first cosplay, and from doing research on wigs, decided to pay more for a higher quality one.
was this a mistake? there is so much hair. it's so fucking heavy, i have short hair and i can't get used to wearing it without getting a headache quickly. no matter how much hairspray i use, (also the cheap kind that's more like glue, as i've seen recommended) the pigtails get tangled quickly.
in addition, the pigtails are attached via claw clips, and i feel like no matter how i put them on they pull down and want to drag off. what should i do? should i research wig thinning? ditch it and buy a cheaper wig? Looking for cosplay photos of the Mario Princesses (Princess Peach, Rosalina, ect.) Preferably cosplays that are high quality and accurate. Maybe more “cutesy” than “sexy” but anything is welcome No prior experience in cosplay. No money.

Last fred >>10698290 I just got my first sewing machine from a yard sale, a Singer 237. I oiled it and made sure everything is working, it just needs a new belt which I've already ordered. In the mean time I'd love to start learning. Anyone have a favorite youtuber who does beginner sewing tutorials? I'd like to sew for cosplay when I'm more proficient, but in the immediate future I'd like to concentrate on basic dress making and copying a couple of my favorite dresses that are starting to wear out. All advice is appreciated! Favorite thread, best material for practicing with, favorite patterns, etc. Old thread perished

Are you excited? Cosplaying? Traveling far? Have you been to a con since Covid?
I am excited about seeing my friends again. I haven't been to a con since covid. I'm not really into anime or anything with the community nowadays, so I'm not sure why I am going. Maybe nostalgia's sake? Hey y'all, I was wondering where could I find some CRT TVs for my TV Head cosplay, I have a convention coming up and I have yet to get started since I have found none. I've tried place such as Facebook Marketplace, but they only have large TVs that won't fit my head, and recycling places near me are not certified to give away CRTs, and thrift stores don't have them anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Does anyone casually know the source of this Rey Ayanami cosplay? I've already asked some cosplay snobs I found on social networks and hardcore otaku friends. No one has a clue. I don't even need an HQ image, just the OP or cosplayer name. 
This is going down in history anons, so, i'm going to voice it for you:
>new convention happening this week, called 'UCCONX'
>first mentions of it is in december 2021
>it is only announced on may with a whole event for the announcement
>e-sports company is behind it
>get a lot of influencers and people from the local cosplay community to promote it, but even then they fail to generate hype
>even renting a famous convention center, two weeks after one of the biggest comic cons of the year
>they begun this week to distribute free tickets through the local town hall
>a few hours ago a shitstorm is in motion on social media, with other influencers pointing out absurd rules such as toilet paper, 'portable electronics,' pen and paper not allowed inside the convention, and if confiscated, it will not return at all
>there are people on social media complaining they worked for the company making the comic con and did not pay them
>artist's alley folks saying that there are huge fines if they do not using their internal payment system inside the convention
>first day of event is today, the structure isn't what was advertised, there were even shops closing down because they saw no one was going to come
>artists supposedly invited have conventions to go in the same timeframe, rupert grint and millie bobby brown
It's a huge shitshow already folks I'm looking for pictures of cosplayers getting cold - shivering, rubbing their shoulders, chattering their teeth, etc. These photos are very rare - usually models try not to show how cold they are, even when shooting in snowy photosets. If you have such photos, please post. Discuss:
>New Meta releases
>Meta truly the fat brand now
>Even reach the lvl of AP blood bath? Post what cosplay is considered a “red flag” for cosplayers. I’ve started the thread with Zero Suit Samus. For whatever reason the biggest cunts cosplay as her. Troons do so as well because she’s like their mascot lol. Not sure I've seen a VA thread on here. Figured I'd give it a try.
Got this one coming up in Richmond in Oct. Doubt it'll be huge but still gonna make a fun weekend out of it.
Be nice change to one with over 10k ppl walking around
Any va cons you have coming up or wanna talk about your experience with? I know that cosplayers like Momokun have been canceled for their strange behavior at cons... but I've been going to conventions since 2005, and I see this sort of thing all the time.
I am not defending her, I think she is a nasty piece of work, but why is it that only she has been "canceled" when this happens all the time?
