If so what is it i should look out for if i want to meet people and get laid in a con?i wont be cosplaying btw if that matters Sewing Thread: post your sewing related questions here.
Sewing noob here. Pic related is an issue I'm running into, the material is 4 way stretch nylon. When sewing the binding to the panel it keeps getting pulled right, throwing everything off and forcing me to either lift the foot multiple times to realign, or just ruining it and making me restart. What could be the issues here - am I using the wrong type of foot? Should I use lighter foot pressure? Thanks, all help is appreciated So what are y’all’s favorite blouses? Like, colors, styles, brands, etc. Have you ever thought about leaving the fashion? If so, why? Old saging thread that newfags are still posting in: >>10813892 Who’s here hyped for Not Anime Los Angeles 2022?
But seriously, why hasn’t AX even announced a location or guests ? New feels thread, old one is autosaging. Post your feels about cosplay or lolita things.
I'll start:
>tfw I will never be a cute lolita at an alpaca meet w/ my cute lolita friends because 1. no alpacas and 2. no cute lolita friends
I can deal with my local lolitas being obese or itas but 90% of them are also aggressive SJWs with neopronouns like "ae/aer" & are eager to cancel people for making eye contact. I am doomed to be a lonelita for as long as I keep up this hobby Post your favourite Lolita hairstyle inspiration Final Destination, Masks/Jabs Only, 5 stock.

Have you withness any?
Post con images that are kind of obscene. I'm so glad they left that maskless hotspot of fun, Atlantic City; so that we can now be safe with masks and vax in a nondescript warehouse in the middle of nowhere, north Jersey. A Lolita in the ita thread suggested that we need a new inspo thread and she's right.
Post you favourite coords and maybe what exactly you love about them.

https://www.newocr.com/ It's such a rare thing somehow but I wanna know how to make something like a Batman cowl that's not just a rubber/latex mold like everything else. It seems so obvious to make a hard shell inner layer under a fabric or leather material that's on the outside. Yet again it's so rare to find examples of this. Adding to that, I wanna know how to attach lenses to create the white eye effect. If anyone has experience doing this kind of thing, I'd appreciate some info. No landwhales edition.

https://netsenshi.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/kevin-lillard/ 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. Skinny Lolita thread, post coord pics, nothing larger than a size S. Favorite brands/releases for smaller frames and any other tips for thinlitas.
Please no fatties go cry in the feels thread. Ok I wanna buy an angelic pretty bag but I heard they peel like bananas. If they’re that bad, what are some alternatives besides BTSSB? What are peoples favorites? Hey guys I need some big brained help. I've made a few tv heads and they were alright but the most they could do was light up in reaction to music. I'm looking to make a new TV head that will be able to play videos this time. The only issue is that if I want it to look good I'll have to use a lcd screen and won't be able to see out of it. Anyone have any big brained ideas on how to make this work? If it comes to it ill just have to put a screen inside too connected to a camera but I'm concerned about powering all that and being portable Haven't had one of these in a while now, have we?

Old thread is hitting the image limit >>10715389
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.

DM me: BIG sleepy#6603 Hi everyone
I want to post some distressing news concerning Ohayocon 2023 and its potential future. The Conhead has made the decision concern health regulations. We were hoping for a hard vaccine+boost along with a N95 mask mandate, but simple masking will only be required if mandated by the City of Columbus. This has led to 75% of all volunteers resigning and the resignation of two vice-chairs that help organize the con. In addition, the medical volunteers have all resigned meaning Ohayocon will not have any medical staff on hand for the con for 2023. I was one of those who resigned last week and wanted the share the information. As an immunocompromised person, I almost died from contracting COVID and still suffer from the effects to this day. We’ve been ignored even more now as people don’t care about the pandemic.
Obviously Ohayocon doesn’t care about the pandemic either. I hope the Conhead reconsiders and we have a compromise. 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. Here's your satsuki bros. There's a surprising lack of presence of "the anime convention" in mainstream media. Even a scene in that totally misses it.
There hasn't been articles on it in magazines etc as far as im aware... big-brain stuff on what exactly it _is_ as a cultural object.
This is all strange to me.

What did /cgl/ think of this video? Usually I think Venti is a bit of a lolcow, but I don't blame her here. She's absolutely right. Cons are insanely degenerate places these days: predatory stuff, promiscuous women, BPD freakouts, 14 year olds dressed up in Kill la Kill stuff, room parties with drugs and booze being passed around to young teens, trashy zoomer girls doing sexualized stuff for Tik Tok etc.
Note the girl in the video, who, when Brittany asks her:
>"How about for $100? Would you give a happy ending?"
She answers
>"Sure"
Imagine being that girl's father and watching that video. All of this sex-positive feminism stuff, and a lot of the older gulls here promoted this hard, and the zoomers almost uniformly support it, has really made the anime and wider weeb fandoms just awful. And I don't exclusively blame the men, I actually think (disagree with Brittany here) that the women are more to blame because they push sex posi feminism so hard. The anime is almost out. We're about to witness a huge Influx of CSM cosplays

Can range from horrible cosplays to degenerate/shitty behavior it doesn’t really matter (bonus points if you can remember what you character you were cosplaying as). Post ecchi-themed, sexy and erotic cosplays.
Keep it SFW. 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. Ok so I want to cosplay this skinnyboy for Lucca but I have a body that resembles '20s mussolini while cutting wheat, what can I do to get at least a little skinnier in 1 month? How do you all approach making props? For overly intricate things like guns, eva foam seems like it'd be tough to work with, though printing a gun, even in parts, also seems like it'd be rough with a home printer. I want to get into cosplay and congoing but I have no idea where to begin. I'm sort of intimidated by the whole thing. When I was in college my university hosted a fairly large anime convention every year, but I had no friends and I was always too embarrassed to go by myself. I wish I had gone, because now that I'm out of school I feel like it's even weirder to go to a con by myself as an adult. At least back then I would have had the excuse of begin a student.
Would it be a bad idea to go to my first con in plain clothes just to see what it's like? There aren't any con in my area that I know of, and I'm a few hours away from an major US city. Whichever cons I manage to find around me will probably be pretty tiny, which seems like a good entry point in my mind. The reason I ask is that I get the sense that there are a lot of hidden rules and shit to how this stuff works that I probably want to wrap my head around before I dive in. Or am I being overly cautious? How competitive is cosplay, I'm curious as an outsider What are you gulls up to now ?
Previous thread >>10788696 Hello there dear Seagulls,
I want to make myself a Zeon Soldier uniform like pic related. I don't know much about uniforms though. Which real life uniform is similar to this? 
Youmacon 2022 is a go and we can't wait to see you all here in the motor city. But first there's a couple of important things you should know. Youmacon has been going on for 18 years now and is a celebration of Anime, manga, pop-culture, comics, movies, costumes and SCIENCE. If you don't like all of these things then maybe you should just stay at home.
And that brings us to the first thing we want to report- IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN VACCINATED WE DON'T EVEN WANT YOU TO COME. STAY AWAY. WE ARE A CONVENTION FOR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN SCIENCE. If you cannot get your Covid-19 vaccinations then you may only come if you get a PCR negative test on Tuesday or later. But that should be reserved for people who have a medical reason that prevents them from getting their vaccines. We will not have PCR testing available on site.
BUT IF YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE VACCINES BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THE LIES AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES- THEN WE REALLY HOPE YOU JUST STAY AWAY.
All staff may check your Vaccine Passports at all times. Failure to show your Vaccine Passport at any time to any staff MAY RESULT HAVING YOUR BADGE TAKEN AND YOU BEING REMOVED FROM THE CONVENTION. We recommend using CLEAR (digital vaccination card that can be stored on your phone). We believe this will make everyone feel safest for the event! I just realized people have sex at cons, god I wish I hadn't been born ugly and grown this old. People were actually fucking while I stuffed my bag with merch and took pretty pictures
Oh the things I missed out on although I kinda didn't because I never had the chance

Long time since she's done smoething. CCC #2 Repent Edition
What recently mischiefs have you done recently? Or plan on perpetuate on your next innocent victims.
Me: Ask someone if I can play Street Fighter II on the SNES classic. It was a close match manage to win, He was getting ready for a rematch but I say thank you and prepare to leave, He leaves first. Also after that pick up some free posters that some left of the consoles table and I leave.
Also repent for being lazy and missing 3 cons this year. What are some more popular characters that more muscular guys can pull off? What were cons like before trans people existed? Like pre-2012 Is it possible for a man (straight) to cosplay a genderbent version of a female character and not come off as a huge fag? Does it depend on the character?

uhh so which ones are party cons and which ones aren't? Is there an informal list somewhere? Source material is minegold for cosplayers I'm here with a topic I want you gulls opinion about and that is fast fashion.
What makes me wonder about most ITA Comms is that on the one hand they are very left leaning, everybody welcome kind of attitude, but don't give a fuck about working conditions or the quality of garments.
Like seriously everything is bought on taobao or AliExpress. Like people complaining that high quality colthing costs so much and why don't you just buy from AliExpress is astounding.
Like what ?
But what's your opinion about. Do you think about the working condition? Or is it just a quality question for you ?

I was waiting for someone to make a new thread, but it wasn't happening so I decided to make one myself. I've never made a thread before, but I want to get the newest info on groups so sorry if it's scuffed.
Starting Topic: Have there been any performances/songs/covers recently that you feel like were of quality?
Featured Group: Amuse I miss these threads, and despite everything I still think it's a fairly good cross section of what western lolitas are up to at any given time >cons _still_ requiring masks
this is farcical at this point. Is it every single one So like, I’m new, don’t tear me apart but I want to start wearing lolita a lot more again. I got extremely sick for a few years, a gained a bunch of weight due to my medication, and had to sell a ton of my wardrobe. I missed out on a lot due to the infection and its gotten me depressed. But I’ve been given the green light and can work out normally again cause I’m not sick anymore. Do any of y’all have any work outs or things to recommend to lose weight/ keep a lolita figure?
I don’t want anything to lead to an eating disorder, that’s the last thing I want LOL (i was sick before i dont need to be sick again!) but any advice on getting and maintaining a lolita figure would be great.
(Whatever a lolita figure means desu). I’m also terrified of /fit/ so I asked here instead cause at least y’all know what I’m talking about.
I'm motivated to try and get back to as normal as I possibly can. Last thread >>10778622

Yo Funk Brothers, your dream dress is up!
https://egl.circlly.com/auctions/metamorphose-airline-my-little-ca-jsk-missing-accessories about a month away, for those attending what are you planning?
unfortunately they're still doing mandatory masking so RIP to helmeted cosplays I am trying for so long to buy a jacket just like hers, i dont want the full outfit just the jacket, i only found one place on amazon that sells just her jacket that looks to be in decent quality, do any of you know where i could buy her jacket, preferably in black but blue is fine too Making a 100% DIY spacesuit.
I have everything planned out, i'll mostly be using white duct tape and alu-foil, it gets the white spacesuit texture right and makes it slightly rigid, i have everything else mostly sussed out.
For the helmet i'll be using a 30cm plastic bowl, i will bulk it up with carboard and then cover it in the foil duct tape until it's seamless, only problem is the visor.
I want 2 visors, one just transparent and the other gold/black, tho i really want gold.
I can't find any decent sized transparent plastic bowls, 30cm and 32cm.
Where would i get plexiglass/whatever material would be best for this domes?
Do they sell stuff like that at hardware stores like Bauhaus? google couldn't help me on this one cause the site is a fucking nightmare so i really don't know.
I just want my realistic spacesuit larp I wanna cosplay Kahaku from To Your Eternity, ideally buying as many parts as possible (due to a physical disability I can't really sew or cut stuff). He and his relatives wear this kind of clothing, which I've seen before in other anime but I have no idea what the parts are called so can't even begin to search. What's the red cowl thing for example? What type of pants is he probably wearing?
Could anyone tell me the clothing item names or any characters from other anime that wear close enough clothing I could buy costume parts from their outfits?
Alternatively, I could use suggestions for a shop that does custom cosplays and won't kill me in shipping costs to Japan. Thanks in advance. AWA is just over a week away: October 27-30
What are you looking forward to most? can we get a winter lolita thread? post coord insp suitable for the colder weather etc :] Like, rather than just ordering "orange" eva foam, let's say I want to find "safety orange" or "orange peel" or a more specific colour like that. Where can I narrow down my colour choices as precisely as possible?
Pic semi-related. Has anyone ever been to Comiket? Going for the first time this year and not sure what to expect regarding cosplay. I've heard there are some rules, but would love to hear from any anons that have actually been. Is Katsucon worth going to even if I'm already going to Otakon next year, or is it different enough from Ota? The Gaylord is sold out, so it worth even going if you have to stay at an off-site hotel? Only about a month and a half to go before the big debut. What are you expecting? It's not often you get a series of conventions to use for comparison, especially spread across the country, so there's plenty of ways this could go. I'm anticipating more lively than Texas but less than East.
So, yeah CCN cosplay, meetup, gossip, etc. thread Old cosplay I did with 5 years ago my Ex (Harley) and her friend (Catwoman) I fucking hate beauty apps, and I hate people who photoshop their faces. It almost always looks horrible and unnatural. I've seen girls with proper hygiene and some makeup but with no beauty apps who look way WAY better than when they start messing with their own face. Who even came up with looking like an alien as the "standard" of beauty? it's so horrible it makes me want to puke Does anyone here wear CPK these days? Can someone recommend me some brands to check into? All resources I have found are gone outside of a video tutorial or so.
Also post street snaps, etc. The same as usual.

If you want to see the latest jp coords, indie brand releases or need general inspo, make sure to check out Twitter's なんちゃって制服 hashtag. So it's this weekend, so anyone in AZ going to this show this weekend? It feels like no effort has been put into promoting the con. Or fixing it's rep, but this is MPE. And hotel fuck ups and public conflicts FB with vendors. Dank und spooky edition

How many of you were able to get the new Halloween print? Which cut and color?
The winter look book should be out any week now. What are you hoping AP revives? What type of new prints/solids do you want to see? Thread for Vinnegal or at least similarly bodied females What do you guys plan to dress up as Halloween this year? Trying to get ideas myself. Thinking of trying to pull this off How do you organize your hobby wardrobe?
I've been playing around with reorganizing mine and would love to see some fun ideas! I want to cosplay this guy at the next anime convention I go to
I think cute zoomer girls love this show and would recognize him, it also shows off my physique and when a girl asks if I have a girlfriend I can tell her I have one but am looking for two more
What do you think? Did anyone end up going to this gay shit? Was it the trainwreck we thought it would be? I want to cosplay this guy at the next anime convention I go to

What do you think? 
I doubt there's more than two or three brazilians in here, but I still want to discuss some matters about this event.
It happens since 2014 and it seeks out to bring the experience of the San Diego Comic Con. I don't know SDCC at all, but what I can say is that the event has grown to such a level that is any disaster happens, people would die stomped, and the life of the average attendee is terrible: expensive food, lots of lines, horrible bathrooms, and basically all you can do is shop (200,000+ people in the four days of the event do that to you).
Plus the tickets are growing more and more expensive - the price of one day buys one a half or two tickets for other major events in Brazil.
And to top it off, many content creators are getting denied for having no "synergy" with the comic con and its themed. Creators that were in other editions with their press credentials, and it's been the biggest fuzz in our local community.
I want to know from my /cgl/ folks - to what measure conventions in America/Europe are becoming moneygrabbers and are new 'comic cons' or cosplay events getting created out of this 'power vacuum'? >fat cosplayers trying to cosplay skinny characters
>short cosplayers trying to cosplay tall characters
>skinny cosplayers trying to cosplay buff characters
Which is worst? Newbie here, because of strict modesty guidelines I need to follow all of my dresses need to be at least midcalf or ankle length, neckline no longer than two finger's width below the collarbone, and the sleeves elbow length or longer and I've read this isn't considered lolita due to the skirt length.
Is it okay to still call myself lolita/use tags if my skirts are this long but I follow the other rules? Are there different rules or good resources for EGA if I do need to consider it that instead?
TL;DR: Help with not being ita with extreme personal modesty guidelines. Thoughts on these cosplay? Me and my friends love finding pictures of unknown cosplayers and trying to figure out who the cosplayer is/their socials. We're absolutely stuck on this one image Mr. Delgado is a REAL work. I know all your secrets. And a Lady MAN player and act like a PIMP to Woman.He care least About friends and EXs animeNYC is my Last I don't think so we have Evidences of you and We own your a Virgin here his lineup for AnimeNYC also I have a Meet-up on Saturday used the hastags #DontSaveDelgado What are your best Meet-up experiences ? What are your worst ? What's your dream Meet-up ? Spooky (halloween) edition

Post cute usakumyas & kumakumyas >"professional" cosplay
anyone else hate this shit? It should be a hobby done for joy and expressiveness, not to extract anything from others My winx cosplay! It’s latex, I thought the latex would emulate the look from the cartoon best! I wanna cosplay as this motherfucker. What kinda hat he got? Post nice, comfy, easy-to wear everyday type coords you like with cutsews, flat shoes, etc. A bit of rules-bending is ok as long as it reads as lolita. Anyone used to use cosplay amino? I remember it being a ton of fun back in 2014-2015 but I eventually stopped using it I wish there was a new app to make cosplay friends on We're less than a month away.
What are your thoughts on the new venue? Are you cosplaying? Which panels are you looking forward to? Are any of your favorite guests or artists attending?
It's great to see such a small convention grow and improve each year. Here's to hoping we all have a good time! Summer is over, mostly uneventful con wise, somewhat dramatic real world wise. Other than that everything is same old same old. Long live the King.

Henlow, Bedfordshire, UK I want to talk about the evolution of different kinds of weeaboos.
I'm using this screencap from 2Kawaii4Comfort as threadpic because that series captured a variety 'archetypes' of weeaboos that I definitely knew back in like 2005-2010ish with remarkable accuracy.
>What 'archetypes' of weebs do you remember from years past?
>How have those genres of weeb evolved?
>What types of weeaboos used to exist, but don't any more?
>What types of weeaboos exist now but didn't back then?
>What type of weeaboo were you or your friends in 20(00/05/10/15)?
I don't want this to devolve into a thread about whining about the rise of costhots. There is already a thread for that here: >>10798482 . Its okay to discuss them in regards to their historical evolution, but I want space for a well rounded discussion about more garden variety weebs.
I consider lolitas to pretty much universally be weebs so discussion of them is also welcome. Anyone going?
