This is me. I've never been more honored to find someone else post my work.
Reservations almost closed.
Anyone going to Detour? Meet ups?
Any big photographers showing up? I know it's Minnesota, not a very important state to the cosplay community.

How do you think about it?
Personally I fucking hate people who makes one to post buyed cosplays or made it by other persons.
I want to see cool cosplays, not shitty buyed on internet.
>>8844518
Some people just use it as a way to stay in contact with people while still keeping their personal facebook private.
I'd only create one if I considered cosplay more of a job than a hobby, personally.
It is a way to keep personal facebook private and a cosplay fanpage for people who really just want to follow them for cosplay.
I personally do not have one and feel a lot of pressure from friends to get one. I honestly don't see the appeal in some random creeper I don't want following me on Facebook to know what I do every con on a "fan page".

OP here.
Same.
Anyone ever hear of Cosplay Foam Fighting? I played it at Ramencon and Midoricon. Are they competing with Sleeping Samurai or something?
>>8843599
imagine that but if it was TF2 themed that would be fucking awesome
It's just boffer weapons. Nothing fancy.

I love socks, socks are probably my favourite part of j-fash so lets have a good old fashion sock thread.

>How many socks do you have?
too many, probably 60 pairs specifically for lolita altogether
>Where do you get most of your socks? Brand/taobao/tutu anna/off brand ect.
half is brand and the other half is taobao
>Who is your favourite brand for socks?
ap socks are pretty stretchy as are aatp socks
>How often do you buy new socks just for a coord?
not that often, but every time i buy new socks i try to make sure they go with what i already...

>How many socks do you have?
Around 30-40 pair I think? Far too many for the size of my wardrobe.
>Where do you get most of your socks?
Brand/taobao/tutu anna/off brand ect.
The vast majority is Angelic Pretty. There's some other brands in there too but no taobao or so. A haul isn't worth it with the crazy customs my country charges.
>Who is your favourite brand for socks?
Innocent World actually, or Baby. Their socks are a slightly better length on me than...

>How many socks do you have?
around 50 including non lolita socks, around half of that are lolita appropriate and only 11 are brand.
>Where do you get most of your socks? Brand/taobao/tutu anna/off brand ect.
All of my brand socks bar one are ap, I have ordered a few from mufish and want to get more from them. I picked up some from Tutuanna when I was in Japan and might do a big order from them soon. For anyone in aus cotton on usually have cute pairs and on occasion thigh highs that work for casual j fash and sometimes otome, dangerfeild too, they both tend to be a bit shorter than you would want for ankle socks though.
>Who is your favourite brand for socks?
ap are great because I wear sweet so they suit my wardrobe the best and have interesting designs, but I am fat so they get stretched out easily. I have one Emily Temple cute pair that are super stretchy so I may look into getting more in the future.
>How often do you buy new socks just for a coord?
I very rarely buy socks with a coord in mind because I just fall in love with socks so easily.
>Do you try to buy socks that will match with multiple items of your wardrobe?
Sort of, but I am obsessed with brown socks even though I only have one brown main piece, which still has the tags on.
>have you ever brought a main piece just because you like the socks from the release?
No but if I was more financially comfortable probably.
>do you have a dream pair of socks?
I'd love to own the sugar fairy crew length socks in both pink and yellow.
Let's discus the most beautiful and stylish lolitas in the world community.

I feel sorry for you, anon.

what do u mean?
So the yaya cosplay fabric is starting to show up in Joann stores. Discuss quality/price/etc
Fabric stores general I guess
Do only select stores get quality faux fur? The only times I've seen fur that wasn't scratchy thin garbage was like 5+ years ago.
>>8847209
My store started getting good fur last year. It's pretty expensive though so most people still just buy the pubes-on-burlap kind.
Unfortunately the good quality stuff still only comes in hideous colors and franken-animal prints.
>>8847209
I work at Joanns and we just got in some new fur with the cosplay line that's really nice. It is however 40$/yd which is crazy. But if you break out the coupons it's not so bad

sorry if any threads are missing, I tried.
what's your comm planning for Valentine's?
>>8843746
We're going to have a cute little meet up at a cafe and exchange valentine's. I'm excited..One of my good friends is throwing it. Hopefully none of the annoying girls show up.
>>8843746
Potluck tea party. There was a gift exchange that was going to happen, but only two people signed up for that part since the host said it wasn't mandatory, so I'm not even sure that part's going to happen. Too bad.
Old thread
>>8832362
Do you have your coordinate planned for the 14th yet?
If you're gonna start a thread at least dump some pics, anon.
She says she's happy with this coord...Try again.
The flower crown is too huge and the flower tights don't match the theme of the dress at all. But at least the colors don't look super jarring so I'll give her that.
>>8843391
The meme crown and matching tights kill it for me
Not a fan of the wig or tights.
Once again another holiday sale has started on Bodyline's Rakuten and gone unannounced on their FB and international websites.
Has Yanners forsaken us?
Perfect timing. Did bodyline stop making their oxford style shoe? I can't find it anywhere on their new site
>>8843146
They discontinued a lot of their shoes so it might have been.
IT'S HAPPENING x3

How many seagulls run their own shops online or irl?
What kind of stuff do you sell?
I'm interested in possibly starting my own, but I'm not 100% sure of the best ways to do it or if it will even be worth the investment.
What's a good amount of merchandise to start out with and what sort of things sell the most?
Are you wanting to be a reseller or a creator? There are a lot of creators on here that run their own businesses (check out the AA thread and archived AA threads on rebeccablacktech for some great discussions), and there are at least a couple of resellers/dealers as well.
>>8836797
I was going to start out a reseller, but hopefully I can become a creator.
I wanted to start by selling cute clothing, but nothing too crazy like some of the store-envy stuff.
>>8836805
Tethered are so many resellers already. What will set your store apart? That's definitely something you'll want to think about.
