Bodyline's got a 1500yen post-Halloween lucky pack.
I took one for the team.
>Your order has been received. Thank you for your purchase!
I checked the Japanese site for details and I'm getting conflicting information (since fuku001 was originally the 10,000yen lolita lucky pack) so I have no idea what I'll get but it was only $17 total.
Japanese site:

In the short amount of time I've been in artist alley I've had more experiences to get a bingo than the 3 years as a BJD owner.
My Bonus was they actually came back and bought something
What do you guys think of "functional" stickers for planners or name tags? Also, can large acrylic charms function as a baggage tag without snapping off?
>>8695478
I like them! Personally I don't use planners/agendas but I love the concept of useful stationery.
I will try and make stickers like these ones. It helps a bit when you actually post photos of how can you use them.
ps:I did a poll tho, asking if people use their stickers and almost everyone just buy and never use them.
WTF sales general.
A thread to make you laugh and enlighten sellers. I'll start off with this, hot off the presses.
Don't bother discussing the normie garbage on LM unless it's something really special
>>8687761
...that's a fair price for the particular print/cut, anon. If it's in like-new condition, then that price is definitely justified. It's a fairly popular print after all.
Not so much of a WTF but more of a 'social etiquette for sales'. is it ever appropriate to comment on the amount someone has listed an item for, publicly at least?
>>8687780
tbh sometimes I wish this would happen, but not in cases like this where there's high demand for a piece. I just hate seeing newbies get scalped on something like a lucky pack item or similar things.
Let's play bingo, fatties.

It's next on my list but I can't cross it off yet
I've noticed a lot of newbies in my comm have an intense fascination with the old school days and massive tendancy to romantacize the shit out of it, or have lots of crazy misconceptions about it, like that everyone was completely ita and the major brands never put out anything that wasn't hideous. I'm wondering how common this is among people who didn't get into Lolita until 2010 or later? When did you get in the fashion and what's your take on old school? Any questions about that time for oldfags?
I think people who have been in the fashion forever are giving themselves too much credit.
People were definitely itas in the west back then. Prints from brands were pretty ugly, or they were plain (black and white, pink and white). The style was much more of an experiment then so people tried all kinds shapes and color combos and whatever that looked pretty bad.
I think people talking about "old school" style these days are using their current lolita knowledge to make old school better than it was.

I was about 11years old when i discovered ""lolita"" off course i had nothing lolita in my closet until this year (am 20) when i left my parents house, they were against lolita (and homophobic at that, i have a girlfriend, we now live together). And i kinda discovered lolita when it was still way simpler than it is now where everything tends to be kiiinda...over the top? This is the lolita i fell in love with, so when i see old kera snaps and such (i had a few,and gothic lolita bibles, my parents...

Just plop some old Bibles in front of them, end of story. That's what was available, styled as well as it could be (models) and realistically (street snaps). But to be fair, I still think old school is pretty cool and wear everyday coords that are pretty close to it. My first bible was no7. I bought it when it came out so I've been around a while. I enjoy the ott coords of the current time too though.
How to get good at it?
What's the highest you can comfortably walk in?
This is my achilles heel (no pun intended) and I was wondering how everyone else does.
>How to get good at it?
Honestly, the best way is to keep at it. Try a thicker heel to begin with as they are more study so your ankles dont fall inward.
>What's the highest you can comfortably walk in?
I can walk in my 6 inches just fine - but in my secondary school, it was a uniform requirement to wear 1-4 inch heels for "ladyness" so I got used to it from the age of ~11
>>8707411
Don't put the weight on the heel or you'll end up kissing the pavement, kind of balance your weight in the middle of your foot,if that makes sense. Just keep practicing and you'll be find.
A lot of my heels look like the ones in the pic, stupidly enough I struggle with small heels versus the super high ones.

"白塗り -みのり" is a search term to use to find shironuri and exclude minori from the search (because while we love her, it's annoying having to wade through a thousand photos of her coords to find new content)

wtf 4chan stop dropping my pics
The time of year we can wear almost as many layers as we want. Post your favorite winter co-ords.
>>8713750
I don't know if I should ask this here, but does anyone know how to keep warm in lolita without a coat?
I want to participate in my comm's ILD meet but it's a mostly outdoor event and I own 0 lolita coats as I'm just starting out.
>>8713832
L A Y E R S
layers are you friends
>>8713832
I've heard of people layering thermal tops under blouses. I think Fanny Rosie really recommends the Uniqlo HeatTech line.

I've also heard good things about fleece lined leggings.

Selfposts welcomed.
I just found this fuckery in the mori tumblr tag.

who the fuck are you
>>8713045
Shit went down at moriconfessions. I hate the large amount of SJWs in mori.
Anyone know a way to make your eyes look "droopy" with makeup? Have looked for tutorials but have only found ways to fix droopy eyes or whatever. My eye shape is somewhere around almond/upturned. Pic related, cosplaying genderbent Gray in May. I'm relatively new to makeup so any general tips would be appreciated too. Thanks gulls!
>>8714916
Look up some gyaru eye makeup tutorials or gyaru eyemakeup in general. Also tare eye might help you as well as ulzzang puppy eyes
Cherish my juicy cherry edition.
Last general is in autosage.
What are your cosplay plans and halloween ideas?
Don't forget to login for the pic related Hanayo UR!
OP that's the next event card on JP what are you talking about.
>>8677601
It's the login UR. Today is Eli's birthday too. So you get 5x from Eli and 1x from Hanayo. After 5 days you get this Promo UR.
>>8677580
I bet it's as worse as the other free URs we got so far. Like seriously the eli and umi are shit, my R cards are better than they're on lvl 100
Any VA gulls going to Nekocon? pic unrelated.
