Let's talk about things you love in lolita fashion and and lolita things that makes you feel warm inside.
(Will post mine tomorrow. I am super tired but i wanted to have a lovely thread to wake up to. Love you /cgl/)

when kids ask me if I am a princess. it makes me really happy to see them look so excited and in awe just from seeing a "real life princess."
the fact my clothing can make others happy like that makes me happy, like I'm doing my part to spread smiles
I know it's cheesy bullshit but I really like that about Lolita
Seeing my lifelong love of beautiful stained glass windows being incorporated into a fashion.

I've been trying to find those (pic) cat-ear necklace frames (just the frame, without the picture and clear cabochon) for diy purposes, using a lot of different keywords from other similar listings on taobao and google tr, but to no avail. Does anyone know a better term to find necklace frames (I don't think I'm even using the right English word)? Or if anyone finds them while looking for their stuff, please link me.
Does anyone know of any shops that sell anything kind of Y.R.U replica/rip off shoes?
Can someone suggest the best seller of the "Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki" cosplays from Love Live?
Picture related.
Whatever one that looks the best.
Has there ever been a good con rave? Are they always just doomed to be a mess?
What makes a good con rave?
I usually show up with a few drinks already in me, make myself look like an idiot on the dance floor, and leave.
>>9000586
In all seriousness, what am I supposed to expect at a con rave? Like music wise? Sure, something j-related, but what in particiular? When I hear the word rave, I still think of the glorious 90ies, when techno and its consortia were popular.
>>9000793
Don't expect much. Most con raves play basic club music with little anime content. If you're not socially inept you can usually find people to dance with though.
New touhou project thread since we hit image limit. Last request was for Yukari

General discussion thread for Project A-Kon
>>8951393
I think we haven't had a thread mainly because we've just been talking about any A-Kon stuff in the Texas general thread. But hell, that ones close to auto-sage, so why not! How about some fun questions to get the thread rolling?
>How fucked are you with you cosplay as we approach the "not quite panic mode but I kinda fucked up and put this off" one month out milestone?
>How much do you plan to drink this year?
>Do you think there being an actual tea party and j-fashion track is going to be fun or a hot mess?
>Have they improved their guest selection?
>What do you make of the cosplay contest upping the quality of their rules?
>How much are your thighs looking forward to walking back and forth across the Anatole several times a day?
>>8951483
Oh and the standard questions:
>What are you wearing and what days?
>What programming are you attending?
>Will we have a gull meetup and would you want to attend?
I'm planning on drinking a lot. I haven't looked at the guest thread too much but I'm excited for Steam Powered Giraffe. Saw them at RealmsCon two years ago and it was pretty fun. Kinda want to hit the masquerade too, but I doubt the boyfriend will be up for it.

>calling something jap-anything
Not even an sjw but that's kind of cringy
Can we have a cat/animal ear thread?
What do you think about the popular sellers and their prices?
Is there a good tutorial out there to make similar ears?
I want to make fox or the realistic cat ears similar to the ones at kittens play pen , is there a tutorial out there that isn't just "sew 2 pieces of fabric inside out"
>>9007125
looks similar to my ears, if I were to actually put effort into them (idk why people buy mine so quickly). No sewing required. I'll see if I can find the tutorial I used, though, it was several years ago since I found it.
>>9007162
Found it.
Though, I don't recommend hot glue at all. Use fabri-tac.

Looking forward to anything?
Who are you wearing?
Did you finish it yet?
Panicking yet?
Im fucking stalking the swapmeet page right now so that as soon as it hits 9:00pm, Im signing up and grabbing a fucking spot.
Panicking, definetly Panicking. Did not expect my finals to take as much time as they did so cosplay has been on the back burner
>>9004997
Ditto.
Finals are killing me, cosplay is killing me why do I like to make myself suffer like this?
Time to pick a god and pray.
Is there any chance we could get a lolita graphics thread going?
I just got a new computer and my external hard drive with all my graphics stuff on it is in another country.
Pictures or links to websites and lolita-esque or lolita appealing graphics are welcomed as well!
As OP I'll post what I have so far
Can we have a kimono thread? Seems like there hasn't been many around here lately.
Also, is anybody a member of IG on facebook? Usually the kimono community has very little drama, but there has been a lot lately. What do you think about it?
I'll dump some stuff. Been really into hakama lately.
