I'm looking for a new highlighter and bronzer now that my skin is getting less shitty/I'm better at concealing. I'm tempted by the Too Faced Cocoa Contour, but it might just be because the packaging is cute. Is it better to purchase them separately? I'm looking for something drugstore to mid-end ideally in sturdy packaging. I'm thinking of both a shimmery and matte highlighter. I have warm-toned light skin.
Why did you choose this picture? You have such shit taste anon, please never be the first poster again.

Anon, don't buy shoes from lolita brands. Their quality is terrible. Buy shoes from companies where their specialty is shoes.
>>9033828
My AP shoes are pretty nice.
>>9033842
Funny joke anon.
Hey guys, can we get a thread all about skirt coordinations? I bought an AP skirt (not the image) while I was in Japan and I'd really appreciate some inspiration and a bit of a point in the right direction.
I also feel it's such an under worn style!
I'll dump what I have.
Do you guys think gaining fans and "fame" changes cosplayers?
Does having more fans change the choice of what to cosplay? Have any talented cosplayers changed their style once they became more known? I.e. Dressed more scantily
I have a friend who recently got up to some ten thousands of likes and she completely changed.
She started acting catty with other cosplayers (talking shit about their costumes, etc) and bossy with friends. She became very attention driven and makes every conversation about her.
I hadn't see her in a long time and went to hung out with her at a con. I was carrying a large and very detailed prop and people kept coming up to me and asking questions about it, complimenting my work etc... She started acting annoyed and "jokingly" saying hers gave her more trouble, she spent more time making it and that nobody came up to her to compliment her work.
So unclassy.
>>9025535
Bitches be crazy.
>>9025322
I believe fame and praise can change anyone, but yes cosplayers too. They get this feeling of entitlement to being a prick because their fans will eat it up. It's especially bad for people who aren't exactly famous and don't know how to handle so much attention. A(n ex) friend of mine was like that in high school. No one paid any mind to her but when she got popular she turned incredibly two faced and was like a dog doing tricks to make people pet it more.

>trying to become less broke by getting a job but haven't even got an interview yet
Most of these are pretty common problems so I feel bad complaining, but the whole thing is making me feel really tense and irritable, especially with being too busy/broke to wear lolita to cheer myself up.

CGL, I'm so bummed. I worked really hard on my cosplays for AZ and was finally going to cosplay with my best friend who also was the person to get me into cosplay.
I'd like to see some black sweet coords, show me what you've got. Just because it's black doesn't mean it's gothic!

Also, dumping what I have
It's Summer and this year in particular is supposed to be abnormally hellishly hot, at least in North America. Thanks, Bill Nye.
If you plan on cosplaying any cons this summer you could literally die from the heat if you are not careful.
That's why this thread is here! To spread awareness and information on how to not collapse from heat exhaustion while wearing 50 lbs of foam and metal in the sun!
>>9038127
Oh and by the way you should totally buy Cool Shirt(tm)! (only $420.69)
Here's some tips I've gathered from reading and talking to other cosplayers. Luckily America has been at war in the desert for years and a lot of research has gone into keeping cool in the heat.
Make sure to pay attention to the weather forecasts. Knowing ahead of time can help you adapt accordingly.
If you have a bulky hot costume then get a hotel room as close to the con as possible. Not only will this cut down on the time you spend outside in it but it also means you can get to a cold shower quickly if you need one. Cold showers are great ways to cool off if you feel yourself overheating.
Those instant ice packs are great in emergencies but you need to know how to use them. You radiate most of your heat from your hands and feet, even if your face and head may feel hotter. If you feel yourself getting too hot, ice packs can be applied to your hands and forearms but make sure not to just hold them in place. Cooling your palms with the ice back can serve to just constrict the blood flow to that area. It'll feel cold but won't do much to cool the blood reaching the parts of your body that need it. Rub them slowly along the palms and backs of your hands and the underside of your forearms.

Actually I was going to suggest making your own. They're just vinyl tubing sewn into a spandex t-shirt.
>>9038134
probably worth it for furries and the like desu
You know when your fan run con is shitty is when.
>>9038082
Sure, jan

Even if this were true
>giving every Tom, Dick, and Harry admin privileges
>not thinking to remove privileges as soon as association is done
Just say you were hacked. Nobody will believe that either, but you sound slightly less shortsighted and stupid.
How do I make myself a WWII outfit? I'm willing to pay up to $120 (gun not included). Everything I find is either a general or an officer or just plain overalls. I'm not worried about all the accessories such as a knife, binoculars, water can, and such. Either a backpack or a couple of ammo belts is alright.
I live around Philadelphia if that's important.

Go to your nearest surplus store. They usually have fake/old uniforms for sale.
>>9028509
ebay has a huge amount of replica outfit sellers

I guess that's why fatties always cosplay her.
I didn't see a brolita thread, so I decided to make one. I don't even know where the hell to start. Where does a brolita buy clothes that fit them right?
>>9011601
Like any other lolita would. AP, Baby, Meta, IW, etc.
>>9011601
>Where does a brolita buy clothes that fit them right?
take your measurements and check them against brand measurements. see if you will fit. if not, look into indie brands that offer either a wider range of sizes, or custom sizes.
additionally, there is no issue a man has fitting into brand that a woman does not also have. rather than research clothes that fit men, target your specific issues: flat chest, tallness, wideness, etc. there are flat, tall, and large lolitas that are also female, and you will find many resources that way.
Toabao brands and bodyline have larger sizes that you could try first without buying the more expensive brand. You could try replicas, too, but I personally don't like the thought of replica.
