Instead of having an ugly sweater contest let's have an ita Christmas coord contest! Be as tacky and Christmasy as you can be!
>>8769519

We'll see! New goal is to look worse than you ;)

Let's try not to shit up this new thread.
ITT: best and worse conventions, upcoming events (cosplay and lolita related), general discussion about local and state wide stuff
>>8747197
Still wondering about this. Like I know the answer is probably going to be "it's shitty, don't bother" but I'd still like to actually know.
>>8754358
I've heard a variety of things about A-Kon cosplay contest, either that its rigged or judges were spot on with their winners. It also depends on who your hearing it from. The best is to try it out for yourself.
>>8754362
I consistently hear that its rigged but I don't know where that comes from of if it's true. Would be interested to hear more if anyone knows?
Lolita, cosplay, jfashion, so long its related and makes you weep just a little bit for humanity.
>>8754006
There are ita-pants and there are ugly-pants. This is definitely the second.
>>8754016
I feel like my sister will end up with pants like this at some point. She even did a fucking presentation for her class about wanting to be a 'mangaka'. ....For fucks sake.
>>8754006
I totally did this shit in 6th grade. Thank god posting pictures online was really hard back then.
First time on this board. Is this the right place for Stalker cosplayers?
Bitch couldn't you just have bumped your old thread? >>8756870
We're a slow board
>>8757103
That's not my thread.
>>8757107
Well please check the catalog next time before making the post to avoid clutter.
Like the other anon said, we are a VERY slow board. Threads last weeks here. Longest I ever saw was like 2 months.
Hey /Cgl/ Im going to a local convention this spring I plan to cosplay as a S.t.a.l.k.e.r. (Pic related) however I plan to wear a gas mask but I fear that wearing the mask will be considered a threat of chemical warfare due to that one gassing of a furry convention. I don't plan to bring any prop weapons. So is it safe to wear the mask?
I have seen plenty of stalker bros with gasmasks so I imagine you will be fine
>That one gassing of a furry convention
Oh god details.
>>8756870
Just be careful with the filters. many older ones (I think pretty 1980) used asbestos. You don't want that in your lungs unless cancer is 1st on your wishlist.
Plus breathing through the filter+ mask will be really difficult.
I went to my first con earlier in the year (Dublin Comic Con) and was really thrilled to see so many cosplayers in person for the first time. Lots of Inside Out, SnK and Witcher this year, on top of the usual anime and vidya staples.
But the one type of cosplay I saw the most of were just random, military looking dudes. At least 50, maybe even 100 the day I was there, and none of them were recognisable. It was just a lot of kids with tactical vests, shooting gloves, glasses, maybe a hat, and airsoft rifles. I hadn't any idea what series they were from if any, though...

in america, they tend to be called out for stolen valor, personally i feel like its kinda out of place, but i really cant give a shit about it so long as they dont bother me
>>8758037
That's not true. It's only "stolen valley" when they try to say they are actually in whatever unit. If that was true airsofters at cons would get shut down real quick.
America here. California to be specific, so one of the two states most afraid of guns (NY being the other, well, NYC is at least). I have a negative number of fucks to give. No, it doesn't weird me out. Yes, it's allowed. Again, no fucks given. Best advice: get over it.
ITT: worst shit you've had to deal with from a "fan" or yours, or a story that happened to someone you know
>be fairly popular lolita on the internet, but never went to meets
>decide to check out local comm
>first meet I go to is massive and a few girls recognize me
>one girl freaks the fuck out over me, calling me senpai, saying how I'm her Lolita idol
>flattered at first, but girl ends up not...

You sound like a bitch. You wanted e-fame, you got e-fame. Deal with it or get out. You don't seem like you deserve many fans.
>>8758496
And you sound petty. Being popular doesn't mean you "deserve" stalkers, or that you aren't allowed to untangle yourself from someone who's creeping you out. OP doesn't sound bitchy at all.
>>8758496
Excuse me? I find it creepy, too. Also, find this hilarious. I would try to avoid her much as possible.
Old one is at 315.
>Roll Call for Baby/Aatp packs
Are you planning on grabbing one, SS or trying yourself, Japan or USA site?
Also
> what are the chances of getting those sweet disney collabs in the variety packs?
>How much pastel vomit are we looking at for AP's packs?
>does anybody pick up the indie brand etsy accessory packs?
I've picked up a few from kitty wood designs and have always been pleased
I kind of know the ordering process for the baby packs, fill the former out like normal and wait on a confirmation email and paypal invoice.
But I can't for the life of me figure out what time they'll be launching. I know, I'm a moron but I'm horrible with time zones and shit.. so could somebody please tell me what time to be on the site to buy them for USA central time?
Also can I buy two packs on the same order? (Verity and Baby)
>>8757015
BTSSB's happy packs go on sale at 5pm Japan time; google "time zone converter" (and save the link for future use), it'll help you figure it out.
I don't think I'll get a AP Lucky Pack, but still I'm really curious what it will be like. I hope they are announcing it soon.
When did they annouce it last year?

Cosplay Maker is out today. It looks like a visual novel/ sim. Thoughts?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/299090/
Personally:
-Not a massive fan of the artwork
+Like the concept
Looks cute and like it'd be fun. But I'd rather spend my time making real cosplays rather than playing a game about it.
>>8758275
It's worth it just for the all too familiar drama
Was expecting it to be $5 or less, seems like a lot for just a cosplay sim
Haven't seen one of these in a while.
Ooh I can get in on this.

New lolita/j-fash draw thread!
Old thread >>8636620
>All J-fash styles (lolita, mori, otome, gyaru, deco, etc.) are welcome!
>Cosplay is discouraged, because then it's basically fanart of your character.
>Please provide your best photos.
>Artists: it's not a bad idea to just sign your work
>Selfposters: When giving credit, it's a good idea to refer to the art as a freebie or commission, NOT fanart.
>Helpful critique is acceptable, insults and taunts are not.
>You should actually be wearing your coord, not "Draw me in X!"
>Have fun!
>>8706935
c'mon OP, make an effort.
I'd like to do a few drawings tonight~
In the mood to draw school uniforms or gyaru! Nanchatte?
With this upcoming year to be the year of Pink and Sax are you looking forward to high end luxury goods in these colours? Will you be parring more with non traditional lolita accessories? What do you think of them in general?
As a sweet lolita, this made me incredibly happy.
>>8767208
Finally, we actually have some pretty colors if the year. Radiant orchard was so fugly
>>8767208
Are there any cute characters with masks or helmets that aren't super heroes or fully armoured?
Pic related is all I could think of.
>>8760951
Nothing sexual about it. I'm just ugly.
>>8761022
The great thing about cosplay is that it often appeals to fetishes of some kind or another, but you can also just appreciate the cosplay if you're not into whatever fetish it appeals to. Pretty much anything you dress up as, someone somewhere wants to screw it. Why bother with caring?
3 weeks away.
Anyone actually going to this thing?
No.
me and my friends are
Decided to go to Holiday Matsuri instead. Better guests and an AP tea party.
