Classic thread? I've been contemplating getting back into the style, convince me with your best pics.
Especially looking for darker classic. Reds, greys etc.
I had an idea for a thread that I thought would be nice. What's the best meetup you've ever been to, or your fondest memory of wearing lolita? I thought back on all the fun times this fashion has given me and I'm curious about yours. Describe your favorite lolita memory, either with your comm, with friends or another situation!

I think my fondest memory was when I decided to dress up to go to the museum with my SO. There was a group of young girls, maybe around 5 years old, that were on a field trip. They were so excited to see me. They all wanted my "autograph" and kept asking me if I was a real princess. I told them the generic "all girls are princesses" response, which they loved. One of them grabbed my hand and begged me to go with them. It was the sweetest moment in lolita I've ever experienced.

This melted my icy heart, anon. That's adorable.

I had a similar experience to that and it really does feel absolutely wonderful! (and is really adorable)
When I was in college I had an elective class that was fiction writing, and for the whole semester we worked on our children's book. Did drafts, illustrations, submitted it to *pretend* publishers, etc. Instead of taking a final, we all just went to a local elementary school and had a reading day with the kids. I was decked out in full VM classic as it sort of matched the theme of my book and all the girls wanted to sit with me and hear my story and one said, "I never thought I'd meet a princess at school!"
Heart was beyond melted.
Lets have a new german thread, i'm gonna post pics from the Vienna comic con.

What are your hopes for upcoming cosplays?
Are you working on a cosplay yourself?
Cute Undyne/Alphys couple with accurate height difference when?
Share your tutorials.
You know the drill.
I kind of wish Made a bunch of cardboard annoying dogs for the last con I went to.
I still feel like most Temmie's choose wigs that are way too light.
Speaking of. I was gonna cosplay Temmie but I'm planning on doing Alphys hopefully instead.
It's been a while since we had one of these threads, so let's get one started! What kind of reactions do you get when you wear more unusual fashion out in public (Fairy kei, visual-kei, lolita, etc.)? Mostly positive? Mostly negative? What are some of your most memorable experiences with normies while dressed up? Please share!
I'm a sweet lolita, and the reactions are mostly positive. You get your "Are you in a play?" and "Who are you dressed up as?" questions, but they don't usually mean any harm. But I did get a "It's not Halloween yet!" yelled at me from a speeding car once. It was only a few days before Halloween, anyway. Even if I was in costume, people have Halloween parties early sometimes... Don't know what her problem was. Also got a "Little Bo Peep" comment from a mall Santa a couple days ago, lol. As if he was in a position to comment on people dressing up.
Still, people are generally positive and complimentary. A lot of strangers have called me cute while I was wearing lolita, which is a nice feeling. A lot of old ladies seem to like it, and I've also gotten a surprising number of moms getting excited and telling me about how their kids would love it. A lot of people ask to take my picture, but I don't mind. (Even if I always look derpy in photos, oh well.)
Overall, not bad.

I wear Lolita every Friday, since I typically have labs and can't wear skirts or dresses, and then I go out to eat with my mom.
I got froyo with another lolita recently, and people loved it. We actually found a mother who's daughter was a lolita and had been wondering if there was a local comm!
Out to lunch though, my own boss won't even recognize me, he charged me full price on accident when I wore gothic on Halloween.
It's mainly the older people who question it or ask if I'm doing a play or if I'm doing some sort of Art Project for the college.
I've only had one negative experience though with someone saying it was offensive for me to wear a dress with crosses on it after a large religious event occurred at school and called me out on the town facebook page. But once I told her I wasn't trying to be offensive and explained myself, she apologized and explained herself a little bit better.
So all in all, it's been pretty well, never had anyone make any rude remarks to me, I have had people take photos of me when I'm stuffing my face full of food or trying to order food in public, but that's to be expected.
Honestly though, my work place loves it! They always try to guess on Friday morning what I'll be wearing in to lunch that day and find it great that I am into such a nice hobby.
I love the reactions from kids the best. Shortlisted:
The little girl who utterly lost her shit when she spotted our tea party through the front window of the cafe.
The toddler on the bus who was fascinated by my gloves. I held out my hand and let him touch the lace, he just patted my hands in awe.
The little girl who looked to the side and saw me waiting behind her for the walk signal and started yanking on her dad's arm and trying to whisper to him to look at the princess.
The group of kids who wanted to take turns wearing my flower crown.
Every little kid who has stared at me in wide eyed wonder on public transit.
love live cosplay time
Cute photoshoot, but the face scares me, fuck (the shop is pretty bad on there)
Why are there so many thirst threads? Are you neckbeards sad because no one wants to spend the holidays with you?

Just came back from an appointment at a beautician, she said I use too much different products with oils and white wax on my face, she could tell from the sebum on my forehead. Of course she wanted to push the salon's expensive products on me (med beauty swiss) but seemed reasonable most of the time.
what's your opinion on only using oil- and parrafinum/white wax free products on your face? any suggestions?
also: what toner do you guys use?
>>8686675
Depends on what they're for. You shouldn't stop using lip balm, of course, but I don't even know of that many products with white wax.
Maybe she meant parrafinum liquidum (mineral oil)? Which seems sus because it's one of the least comedogenic oils you can use but I guess there's people who break out from that too.
I don't think that many products contain white wax but if you want to be sure just run each one through cosDNA, that should tell you all you need to know.
>>8686675
Sebum is completely normal to have on your face. (Fun fact, if you think you have blackheads on your nose, there's a strong chance they're actually sebaceous filaments.)
And one of the best ways to reduce the appearance of any unsightly sebum is massaging your face with oil, including mineral oil (guessing that's the same thing as white wax). And while some people do have bad reactions to mineral oil/white wax, it doesn't sound like you are one of them. So yeah, she's trying to push products on you.
As far as toners go, I just use a PH balanced cleanser, so there's no need for it. Sometimes I like to spray rose water on my face though, but only because it smells really nice.
>Start fancy new asian skincare routine, never had bad skin, but it could be better
>Becomes smoother, less oily and refreshed looking
>eventually develop some strange rash like thing on one side of my mouth, not really a breakout as there are no pimples
>Have stopped new product usage for a few weeks
>no worsening or improvement of signs, still have weird rash thing on one side of my mouth
It should be noted I don't have sensitive skin (in my 24 years of skincare, I've never had a bad reaction to a product, the worst thing would be a cleanser or two drying me out) or any food allergies. It's the most bizarre thing, and the quality and tone of skin overall is great, but I'd be super bummed if one of my products did this.
The symptoms are hard to search, because I keep getting results with pimple like things (which I don't have).

How feasible is it to make the 'metal' parts of a video game character suit from 1,5mm or 4mm plywood? Pic related

Okay. Does anyone hold/know of a pre-made 3d model that I could use? Mostly interested in the mark iv suit

>pre-made 3d model that I could use?
didn't link character or game name, expect us to reverse image search and hold your hand
You are planning on making a full suit of armor and can't even provide basic references, and don't even use the help thread. You are off to a grand start.
Yes, you can make this out of plywood. It will probably only take you the weekend. Please post pics on Monday.

I''m shocked these two haven't been these threads yet. They burn enough bridges in the East Coast community.

About your vendetta? Yup.
There's nothing "bad" other than a yawn.
I find this really inspiring and I want to try something similar on my next shoot. Let's have a cosplay photo before and after thread.
General cute fashion thread! Last one reached max image limit

Also last anon wanted to see kota's room and i tried to make a plan of it. It was actually fun to do.
>>8730984
though i got mistaken, it's less bigger, you can actually see the inferior right corner of the room way closer to her vanity. I feel like a total creep but it's actually fun to do for some reason.

I know we have this thread from time to time, but i need some suggestions for my friend to help her avoid looking like pic related
she has every intent to lose weight, but in the mean time she wants to cosplay someone. she was suggesting pyro or fem heavy- and those are fine, but i don't know if i should encourage it because she hasn't cosplayed before and i doubt she can make something as elaborate as pyro.
suggestions? big gulls, what have you cosplayed in the past?
Is she actually tall or just wide?
There was a good plus-size cosplay thread a while back, with a Miss Piggy I particularly liked. Search the archives.

BONER WHY YOU DO THIS
FUCK

Is this bait?
I legitimately avoid doing fun things like going out and car rides to conventions because of my IBS-D. It sucks so much.
So how many of you are taking fashion inspiration from anime?
Anyone up on doing closet versions of this for fun?
