I have about 500-1000 dollars to drop on lolita, depending on how much I want to spend on cosplay. I was thinking of only dropping 300 or so, and I was planning on shopping from cc/ww/yja/mbok or something but I also saw a dress I really liked on lacemarket. It's hard because I tend to get anxiety about spending, my finances were only recently partially separated from my family and they pay for my tuition (not much) and I pay for expenses, school things, etc. But they can see what...

I have a fairly rich friend and i kinda use her for money sometimes i feel bad but i'm so poor and i can't get a job until my body is fully healed in one year.
She always buys me small things even if it's just paying for my food when we go out or buying me an expensive makeup palette i was looking at. It makes me feel embarassed though in a way but i've always dreamed of having so much money i've been poor all my life.
I never ever ask for anything though that would be dickish and it...

I am internet stalking some lolitas and get a kick out of it somehow. I once dared to talk to one to buy her blouse. It was a nice blouse znd it smelled so so good...i spent like an hour laying in bed and fell asleep holding it against me because goodness it smelled so nice.
I am a creep. I am not even lesbian.

Keep telling yourself that, anon.
Prints get all the love these days, but no print dresses can be just as gorgeous and usually have interesting details.

ILD is coming up. Any cute winter/holiday meet-ups your comms are doing (for ILD or otherwise)?
>>8744550
whoops, sorry for humongous image

not as humongous as tartan-chick's arm

Some people have no experience hosting events and don't feel comfortable taking on all that responsibility by themselves the first time, anon. There's no need to insult them for it. I really hope you're not my comm's mod.

Are you doing something cool with your comm? Maybe you're just chilling by yourself or with some friends/family? What do the coordinates that you're working on look like?
I think it would be interesting to hear nice or horrific past ILD stories too.
>>8734946
My comm has organized a high-tea and Secret Santa gift exchange, followed by a trip to look at Christmas trees!
It'll actually be the first meet I've attended, so I'm hoping that I can easily fit into the group.
>>8734963
I'm really looking forward to this meet as well. It's great when new people come out. We're a pretty friendly group.
My new meta bag came in today to finish my ILD coord.
>>8734978
So I'm assuming that you're another member of the Victoria group? (If that's the case, awesome! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone.)
You know the drill.

Do other gulls do long hair or short hair for ouji? I've seen both
boyfriend was going to do his first boystyle coord on Halloweem for a meet but none of his clothes came in on time. I felt really bad cause it was his first time hanging out with the group but he looked handsome in normalfag gentleman clothes. If anyone had any U.S. shops to recommend that doesn't take 28383828 years to ship that would be so helpful!

>Did you do anything princely for Halloween?
i attended a mid-October Halloween meetup, and explored downtown in a simpler ouji coord for Halloween. a beggar complimented my outfit.
>What special occasion, meetup, or brand release are you looking forward to next?
my first ILD. i feel that i should wear something special or new so i will budget for another secondhand haul.

Anyone have any idea what is a reasonable amount for AATP Beauty and the rose promise in Ivory? :)
How much is a fair price to sell AATP Black Cat Witch and the Apple Tree op in navy + matching headbow?
Antique Beast's Bat Headband?
I've seen it range between 40-80 at an inconsistent rate.
>>8683886
Are you selling?
What are you up to, Mass seagulls? Also, other than Anime Boston and AAC, what are your favorite cons that aren't too far from the home state? Been looking to branch out since those are the only 2 I attend annually.
personally, i've always really loved ctcon
i live in nh and the only anime/cartoon cons in the area i've been to are AAC, drawncon and qck (which is shit dont go). i'm thinking about going to AB next year though.
you could try out portcon or conneticon, which are fairly well known. portcon is pretty cool from what my friends tell me
>>8744741
Ctcon is shit and literally the same price as some of the best cons in the country.
OP you could try ghosting Arisia, it's pretty alright if you don't pay for a badge and the parties are great
I think most established lolitas have had one or two binges, whether they be because of a tax return or a bonus at work or anything, really. Tell us about them, gulls! Did you blow it all on that new release or just buy 5 new dresses all at once? Do you regret it? Why or why not?
My most recent binge I spent something like 500$, so not too terrible. I have no excuse other than I was sad.
>>8744263
My last binge was 1000 euros, I spent it all on oldschool dresses and the Misty Sky re-release. I only regret not getting more tops, because I promised myself I was going to use it for more blouses and in the end I bought like 7 new main pieces and 1 cutsew.

Remember that gifts need to be sent out by the first week of December!
Reporting since the last thread is almost dead:
ML from OH and KAL from NY, do either of you have allergies/food issues? I would like to bake some holiday cookies (linzers and gingerbread or sugar cookies, probably) and send with your packages, but if you can't or won't eat them, I'll just hold off.
>>8738978
KAL here, I don't have any allergies. looking forward to the sweets!
Should we mark them somehow? I have a ton of packages coming and would hate to accidentally open it!
>mfw I accidentally opened a gift today because I got 3 packages at once and had no clue it was even a gift
Maybe write Lolita Gift Exchange or /cgl/ on it somewhere?
Share your funny /cgl/ related shit.

Let's talk about fashion inspired by Junko Mizuno and Uchuu.
Warning: Aspects of gurokawa may include vomiting, self-loathing, abortion, and general self-harm.
Also please no discussion of real mental health or who can/cannot wear this stuff.
We are here to talk about pretty clothes with pills and syringes, so if you don't like the imagery, please go somewhere else.
i thought it was fucking called menhera.
>>8718975
Menhera is part of it, but I want a thread to disscuss the Junko Mizuno stuff that was shown in the last thread, not just menhera. People pointed out that the two have much in common, so samethread?
Didnt see one in the catalog. What's been your makeup inspiration lately gulls? Plan on treating yourself to any Holiday palettes this year?
Can we also ask for help in this thread? I'm searching for a primer...may someone recommend me one?
>>8704103
I've heard a lot of nice things about the Hangover primer from Too Faced. Personally I use Cover FX anti-acne and mattifying primer but it seems like a lot of people hate it. I haven't had any weird issues with it though, and it doesn't make my face break out.
>>8704103
I love MAC paint pots. They are incredible.
What do you think about people who use cosplay to make a living, or at least earn money? (Whether through appearances, doing parties, etc)? Have you ever thought about it?
>>8754615
Can we add making a living in Jfashion aswell? I'm curious about people doing it without being efame fucks.
As long as they're not scammers or ditching their fans and going somewhere else like JNig, I don't really care.
However, it's not a viable career option and people who think they can live a comfortable life just by doing cosplay are delusional.
>>8754617
sure!
