Found on Rufflechat. I really wish people would stop asking this. It's annoying and pretentious.
>>9039420
I honestly don't know what kind of answer she is expecting.
Shouldn't you want to support the clothing lines that started the whole fucking thing?
I wouldn't stop buying Oreos just because there's 50 off brand ones out there too.
>>9039420
so many other ways to get this message
>what is your favorite brand and why?
>do you like indie brands? why/why not?
>what print types are you fucking sick and tired of
>>9039596
Now I'm craving for Oreos. I tried an off brand and it just wasn't as good. It's was like wearing Chess Story instead of Angelic Pretty cause someone told you that Angelic Pretty was being made in Mexico.

>>9022742

Tldr I have excess bobon21 pastel cutesy shit I never wore ever because of strange circumstances. Trying to get rid of all of it for a lot less than what i paid at the time
Hello gulls.
Is been 15 days since I paid for shipping (using Buynosaur) and I never got any tracking number; I tried to message them but I nver got a response. Usually they take 6-8 days to answer (what the actual fuck, is this a joke?)- But 15 days seems even more excessive than usual. Should I file a PP claim or keep trying by chat and email?
Really, I'll never NEVER use them again, holy fuck.
>>9021856
I believe stated in the previous thread, they have one person working the whole thing? Or less than 5?
A lot of people aren't getting replies from them
Can we get an armor thread started? Haven't seen one in a while.
What materials do you use? Are you looking into trying a new technique? What new armor project do you want to start that's intimidating you? Have you found a cosplayer that is inspiring you to go further?
Armor free for all go!

anyone know where i can buy/ custom order an "authentic" armor set from?
something made of real metal that also doesn't look trashy?
If you're looking for some pretty cheap foam mats to build off of, This site :
http://www.foamtiles.com/color-tiles.html
Has them for 1.21 on their 50% off sales per square foot. Definitely worth looking into if you're kinda broke.
I cosplayed for the first time a year ago.
Anyone else have any before and after shots of their cosplay?
>>9041921
Not there yet but that's some great improvement.
>>9041921
That's still a cheap hat and a greasy overcoat. At least the older one is funny.
>that Bloodborne cosplay
lol no

“So I pretty much put in lenses full of hairspray, which burned the crap out of my eye, like, holy hell did it hurt.” Johnny told Houston Press. “So out of sheer desperation, I pinched out the contact lens, taking a chunk out my eye with it.”
Racing to a nearby MedSpring urgent care location, Johnny was told that “he may lose his eye” as a result of the injury. He’s going to an actual optometrist later this week with hopes of better news.
>>9034502
Fucking hell

Retards are retarded, why is this news?
Do you think cosplay will still be a thing in 10 years?
20?
Considering there's more models getting into cosplaying, yes.
>>9034135
Over time it slides into normalcy. It's more socially accepted than 20 years ago, and in 20 years it'll be even more so. So, I think so.
>>9034135
Why wouldn't it be?
What are your opinions on the current state of the cosplay community? How has it changed since you started cosplaying?
I am personally curious about the Patreon trend. Everyone has a patreon and everyone sells "sexy photo sets". I'm interested to see where it goes. You can only take so many photos in lingerie before your fanboys get bored. What are your predictions for the future?
Do we not complain on cgl anymore?
So my friend started dating a cosplayer that's...I guess out of my local community but was close friends with a big cosplayer in my area. I was a little happy about it bc I was like 'cool, new friend to do stuff with!'
But me and my friends are pretty chill about cosplay. I have a lot more income than them so I can afford to buy nice cosplays or throw a bunch of money at a cosplay when I make it.but my friends buy cheaper cosplays more than they make anything.
This new girl...is a judge mental elitist who likes to make fun of my other friends personal life and then rub it in her face and gets offended when my friend gets upset. When she asked where I got a cosplay and I told her taobao she made a nasty face at me and turned away.
She tells her bf that she really likes the rest of us and wants to be friends with us so he tries really hard to help us all be friends, but she's just kinda a cunt.
I'm seeing this shit more and more and it's annoying. I also thought she'd be a great cosplayer bc of who she used to be friends with (they had a huge falling out), but she's really not and she will only be in cosplay for a max of 2 hours before changing and whining about it.
I feel like my local community really just fucking sucks as people. They're all judgmental elitists without the ability to back up that attitude and I'm sick of their bullshit drama.
>>9033066
yes but mod deleted the threads
plenty of patreon threads get deleted
Talk about your local comm and don't get the thread deleted again.
I'm going to Colossalcon next weekend to have sex with my husbando. How's the Ohio Comm?

Thread for asking questions about hair or just posting cute hair pics

How do I deal with putting hair that ends at mid back into a wig? every time I try it looks like I'm Jimmy Neutron.

I'll post more if I think of more shit
Do they have a reason to exist or are they nothing but attention seekers? Would you recommend making one?
they give you a place to refer people to if you don't want to give them your personal facebook. it also works as a more public thing in general. people can look up your cosplay name and find your page because they probably don't know your real name (which you have locked down to begin with).
>>9048606
I know I have one just so my coworkers don't see my cosplay pictures. Some people prefer to make it so only certain people see the pictures, but I find it easier to just have them all in one spot.
>>9048611
I haven't thought of this. This is a pretty good reason. Thanks.
It's in a few months. I've never gone but I'm planning on going this year. Is it worth it? What's the con like? What are your cosplay plans?
>>9042454
is the construction on the convention center even finished?
Last I heard the food court and the main stairway were both closed off
>>9047364
I didn't even know there was construction
>>9047364
Sounds like the big stairs will be shut off this year. Which REALLY sucks as that's THE hang out spot.
It won't stop me from enjoying the con, though.
My cosplay plans are "have a reason to be shirtless and drunk".
That being said, I've attended the con sober before. 2 years ago. The rave and panels were amazing
Because we all need a palate cleanser.
>>9042257
You first.
>>9042272
I did lol

Last thread we were talking photos, cosplay contests results, people being stupid assholes with hotel property
>>9041835
good luck on this one not dying.
I got tons of photos taken of me this weekend, but no one's posted them.
Might take another day or two
Went Friday & Saturday. Had an uneven experience overall; met some cool new people and loved seeing the Lolita's and seeing Minori. The panels, lines and body odor are almost deal breakers though. For such a large con, kinda underwhelmed with the selection. I don't know if I'll come back.
>>9041891
>For such a large con, kinda underwhelmed with the selection. I don't know if I'll come back.
This was my thought about the con too, especially it being my first ever.
However, going back Saturday night and Sunday, a much more calm day as everyone was winding down, and talking and meeting more people convinced me to give the con thing another go. I mean 80% were total weirdos but the rest were decent people.
Plus, maybe I'll snag myself a qt cosplay grill.
