Hey gulls.
I know this comes up now and then. Lacemarket sucks in many ways but we're all stuck with it.
I decided to make a 2nd hand marketplace as a side project for myself and wanted to make it jfashion/lolita themed. I already have a couple of ideas for it and was wondering what you think about them and what else you would like.

My biggest issue with j-fashion mart in general is: What about replicas? Lolita is plagued with a lot of replica issues, but so are other brands, Liz Lisa being a j-fashion is one that is arguably even worse than the AP replica issues.
What would you labeling something a replica? It's kind of hard, because said real life example was this girl I know who buys dirt cheap taobao all the time. She searched eBay for "thigh high boots" or something similar and ended up buying brown Liz Lisa replicas. When I asked her why she's wearing LL replicas, she had...

If it's gonna be general jfashion themed, how are you gonna keep it from filling up with random crap? Like someone's granny sweater that can totally be worn for fairy kei!! Make it Japanese brands only? Make policies for each jfashion?
I'm not knocking it just wondering how well it will work. It seems like outside of lolita with very strict guidelines, people will try to bend the rules of what constitutes jfashion as much as possible. I think it's a good idea though and I'd love a place for other jfashions since I don't wear lolita.

Let's hear your credentials. You must have no idea how many times this has been posted.
Gulls, what did you think was lolita when you first started. What was your first "coord"?

Check out this video of Vic lasanga yelling at some "you're all going to hell" protesters.

I was actually just at this con myself today and saw these people, they frequent cons in the area and usually get asked to leave.
>>8908206
Oh man, I hate these protesters too. Vic Mceggnog can be a dick sometimes but I think he's completely in the right telling off the "YOU'RE GOING TO HELL" guys.
>>8908213
Agreed, but at the same time I don't think they should be given any attention either. Just ignore 'em.

Recently I've lost a lot of interest in lolita. I used to get so excited about it but I feel the novelty has worn off. I still go to meet ups if I can and they are fun, but I'm just not as... pumped up about it? I still appreciate the fashion but I just don't wear it that much since I rarely leave my house.
What are some ways seagulls suggest to rekindle your frilly love? I'm thinking of maybe working on some accessories to go with outfits of mine will spice things up.

Are non-faggot looking boys allowed? Or is this a fujoshit thread?
It's almost time to tune back in to HBO and break out the fur and armor and dragons. How about a general Game of Thrones thread.
Old thread: >>8860426
This may be appropriate
Fingers crossed schedule and exhibition info comes out this week.
The more I read the worse it gets but I have way too much non-refundable money sunk into going to not go and I'd rather be there than at work, anyway.
If nothing else, I suppose I can bring my dead SLR and pretend to take pictures of people to pass the time.

Aw fudge.
Chinese New Year panic has set in for everyone who uses these types of platforms (Aliexpress, taobao, ebay). I guess we just wait until glorious china opens their factories and ports again

Any gulls who only wear lolita to meets? I want to get back into it but am too anxious to wear it out alone. I can't decide whether this hobby is worth the money if I only wear my dresses for, say, five times a year.
Thoughts?
>inb4 "just wear your stuff out when you're alone!!/just do it/overcome your anxiety and go for it/etc etc etc. Been there, done that. Didn't work.
idk I wear lolita around the house (I live alone) just for funsies and take selfies and stuff for tumblr.. idk I have no friends
I don't wear lolita daily, I wear it probably around 3-4 times a month, and I personally think it's worth it. But I just genuinely love the fashion and don't spend as much money on other hobbies. It all depends on you and your personal preference.
lolita is pretty much a 50% fashion 50% collecting hobby lets be honest here

Let's discuss this monstrosity

What was she hoping to achieve

Love her nails!
Anything old school related - stick it here! To encourage fresh picture content, I think decent 'old school inspired' and well-balanced hybrid outfits etc are ok to post here, with the proviso that if an outfit seems broadly more modern than not, it might be better placed in a different thread.

Old Canada thread is falling fast and Ontario should probably have its own thread given the weight of activity.
Upcoming Cons:
Toronto Comicon
Ad Astra
Anime North
Atomic Lollipop(???)
ConBravo
FanExpo
Ottawa Pop Expo
Forest City Comiccon
Any cons, meetups, parties, etc fellow seagulls are hitting up?
>>8853595
I'm curious too. They should be back at the Science Centre again this year, right?
>>8853482
Anyone going to Yeticon? It looks they're trying to emulate Colossalcon
http://www.yeticon.org/
>>8854010
As far as I know, that's confirmed. The Science Centre loves APOP
>>8853482
Hope it returns this year. Attended the first 3 years and always had a blast there.
But also will be attending AN and YetiCon
Fellow seagulls,
what are your thoughts on people cosplaying as kpop idols?
So fucking lame.

That's weird desu
I like it, but only at k-pop conventions/events. Not at anime cons and -especially- not at concerts.

Reposting from previous thread, because I'm hoping it's just abnormal.
Has anyone ever had closet child mess up their address? Luckily it still made it to me in the US, but my address was labeled for the United Kingdom and had the wrong zip code. I checked if I had entered it correctly in my email, but it was so I'm not sure what happened.
