I'm 4'11 and I'm trying to figure out what characters would be good to cosplay. I'm not remotely flat chested and binders don't work very well, so they'd have to be fairly covered up.
Any ideas are extremely appreciated
what's with the newfags? someone just started a bodytype/suggestion thread, and now this.
>>8736535
I don't see anything wrong with this?
>>8736551
Of course you don't, OP. Otherwise you wouldn't have made this thread.
I know it's a bit early (since they are about a month away~) but I wanted to start a thread on Lucky Packs/Happy Packs! All brands welcome.
>Are you going to get a lucky pack?
>From where?
>Have you gotten them before? If so, are they worth it to you?
I'm really looking to get an Angelic Pretty lucky pack this year. Is anyone else aiming for one? Do you use a shopping service, or do you try to get one through the Japanese website using tenso? What print do you think they will do for it? Will there be a plain Omekashi pack as well?
Share pictures, reviews, anything related to happy packs~ Also, Innocent World Oddment packs are coming! Talk about those as well.
I want one from IW but it sounds like they're hard to get :( so even though I don't really like AP I might get one if I can't get the IW one. I've been excited for this ever since I missed the outerwear one recently
I got the JSK set actually featured here and it a good JSK with a cute design. It's really nice when I don't want to think too hard about a coord or need to throw something on last minute as I don't have any other full sets. I didn't really like last years print but if I like it this year I would definitely get another one from AP.
Also I use the included purse and blouse all the time so I think it's pretty worth it.
Does anyone have experience with lesser known brand lucky packs/not the big lolita ones? I'm trying to assemble a doc of brands for several fashions.
Looking for info on:
> Listen flavor
>Milklim
>Nile Perch
>KOKOKim
> Amavel
> Ma*rs
> Datura
> Jane Marple
> Emily Temple Cute
If anyone wouldn't mind dumping some info/pictures of these brands, I'd be very grateful!
Do you think there's an untapped market for lolita designs on men's clothing?
I'll admit, I don't follow lolita culture at all really, but whenever I pass by a lolita vendor at a con I can't help but wish I had that design on a nice suit jacket.
I know male lolita and brolita exist but I'm sure there's some middle ground that's yet to be considered, what do you think?
I made this mock-up to give a rough example of what I mean, I wanted to put in a classical lolita design but I couldn't find any good pictures of just the fabric online.
I fucking wish. I want to dress up with my husband and match but the only options are to make everything myself or buy shitty borderline steampunk clothes. Guys need cute things too.
>>8746972
I can't even get ouji items with prints on them so I would kill for this.
>>8746972
I think there'd definitely be an appeal. Lolita was subversive when it first happened and this would be subversive as well.
Where can a person who doesn't have much disposable income get nice J fashion without looking awful?
Lolita is probably out of the question for poor people, but what about other styles?
>>8735903
How poor are we talking?

I hope you're not looking for things like your OP image.

I am now grossed out at the mere mention of cosplay. I don't know if I have the stomach to do it again without thinking of that terrible moment.
thank you for this story, anon

> I buy my cosplay because I'm not talented at crafting and obviously don't know that no one is born talented!
> Buying is lazy, craftsmanship is superior cosplay type because I am an elitist

Post your worst experiences while sharing a room on a convention (Be it anime, furry, whatever)
>>8750540
Not my story, and I don't know how much of it is true and how much has been lost in the mists of time, but one of my less close friends has a stepbrother who has, apparently, gone through hell at Dragoncon.
Joe was about thirteen, and was going to his first con. Being stupid, he decided to go to one in the US. His family was going on holiday there anyway so it wasn't such a big deal, and he'd met some people online who were willing to put up with him for a weekend provided he was fine with sleeping on the floor and paid his share. They were 15, 16, and 19, so his dad's reasoning was that they were close enough in age not to be creepy and old enough to look after him.
When he got to the hotel, everything was fine. His dad saw he'd found his friend group and promptly fucked off. Ten minutes later, the 'responsible adult' was shuffling grim-faced to the group, telling them that there had been a problem with the room and they might not get it. They decided to go look around while the adult sorted shit out. 3 hours later they got a call saying it was fine.
Con was next day, Joe was hyped as shit, everyone was weebing out, and Joe, being jet-lagged, fell asleep on his corner of the floor. He woke up a couple hours later with a very large girl, clearly drunk, breathing on his face, because she was worried he was dead and wanted to make sure he wasn't.
Joe was slightly worried. He decided to go call his friends, but none of them were picking up. He then decided to go out alone, because fuck it, but the door had been locked, and he didn't have a key. Drunk Girl had, by this point, settled by his sleeping bag, and had pulled a water bottle filled with something pink from her cleavage, which she was slowly drinking. Joe was repeatedly invited to join her, eventually relented, and came to learn that Adult had found her at a bar after sorting out the room, invited her back to the room, then realised he had to call his cousins+friend to tell them they even had a room.
>>8752631
Adult then decided he was being far too responsible, and he should go out and have some fun, dammit. He sent 15 and 16 back to the room, told them not to go down to the con without him, and didn't come back.
15 and 16 were getting nervous about Drunk Girl, because A) it was well into the early hours and she showed no signs of leaving, B) she had started to undress and said she needed to shower, and C) she was shitfaced enough to drown in the shower and nobody even knew her name. They shrugged it off and went to sleep. Joe woke just after dawn to find vomit on his sleeping bag and piss all over the bathroom floor. He also found Adult, and Adult's new friends, a lanky guy,Acne and a worryingly small girl, Bones.
Adult told Joe, 15 and 16 to go to the con without him. Drunk Girl then stumbled out of the bathroom (she'd slept in the bath) and announced she'd accompany them. This turned out to be a blessing.
Drunk Girl sheperded them along, made sure nobody got permanently lost, and was generally responsible. On their way to eat, they met Bones and Acne, but there was no sign of Adult, who had vanished. Nobody saw him until that night, which was when the real fun started.
Bones and Acne split off from the group to go to a party. The others stayed in the hotel room. Drunk Girl had managed to get her hands on a large water bottle, which was filled with something Joe didn't recognise; it looked like tea, but this was Dragoncon, so the odds it was tea were pretty slim. They decided to drink it. It turned out to be an unholy mixture of alcohol and something Joe is convinced was weed, and Joe passed out not long after.
This time, when he woke, it was to a party. He had been stuck under the bed somehow, and could hear the springs above him, coupled with loud moaning and cries of 'Onii-san! Yamete, yamete!' which is not something he particularly wanted to hear. There was something that looked like a tripod at the foot of the bed two inches from his face.

Taiyou Con 2016 thread!
So this convention is almost a month away? Who is going and who is excited?
I personally was not that excited until they announce Kappei yamaguchi. Finally it seems like Arizona is finally stepping up its game on getting quality guests at their conventions.
I'm going. The only AZ con I've been to is Saboten, so I'm hoping this one will be a better time.

What was wrong with saboten?

Everything, Greg.
One thing I spaced on before my last Japan trip was the possibility of visiting a thrift store in Japan. I'd like to avoid that this next time around and would love to hear seagull stories. Talking points:
>Stores to check out. I've been bookmarking Okoku or Purchase Kingdom
>Selling clothes. Anons have mentioned that bringing a suitcase of ridiculous retro American clothes can fetch a pretty penny
>Stories and finds
I had a really...werid thrifting experience in Japan. I'm not even sure if it was thrift store to be honest, it was just a small store across the street from ... I think it was Abeno Belta. There were no duplicate items and nothing had tags so it seemed like they were all donated, but I'm not sure. I was carrying all my groceries but I decided to take a look inside and I was greeted by a super sweaty old man who had a heavy kansai accent and was stuttering and was almost impossible to understand. He talked to me for like 30 minutes before I could get started shopping. I managed to find a weird zip up sleeveless hoody made out of some kind of chiffony material and then this shirt/dress with the most adorable engrish on it. It says like "Ranning souls I go with the wave" or something. I have a pic somewhere.
????/10 don't know if recommend.
So yeah if you're even in Osaka, give it a go I guess. Personally I avoided it after that first time but that's just me lol
Most "thrifting" in Japan is expensive, and they won't give you much cash for anything you bring in
>>8742244
>ridiculous retro American clothes
But that stuff is great, and if you have any that's usuable in Jfashion you might have better luck/make more money selling things like that on EBay or something, especially if >>8742260 is right.
Off topic, but years ago, for a brief moment in London, a big American thrift store opened up selling loads of imported retro American stuff for cheap; it was great, I still have a few items. If the same thing happened today all or any of those items would be expensive as fuck now, I just know it.
Christmas is less than a month away.
What's on your wish list?

A friend.
Sonico figures and a black Milk purse right now
I'll likely just get money from my parents, so either way, I'll be happy
My dad got me a dremmel as an early gift, which has literally been a blessing from god, hoping for a dress form and a few Monster/Ever After High dolls from the rest of my family/bf. My bf's been hinting at having gotten me a Super Sonico figure so I'm excited for that also. If I get money I might end up saving it to get some nice blouses or something.
