Old thread a kill >>9010353
Discuss new releases, ILD plans, bloodbath woes, etc. How far ahead do you plan your coords? Do you like to buy new main pieces for them?
Please keep it EGL related!
Going to ask my question again. Where is the cheapest place for secondhand shopping if I have a PayPal?
It seems quite noobish, but I only just turned 18 a few months ago so before then I was forced to use my parents PayPal for purchases, and they did not want me to buy secondhand as they thought it was too expensive. So I was forced to only buy directly from brands or from people within my comm.
I didn't like to look at auction sites or international secondhand stores as it was unobtainable, but now I can. Ive bought from closet child already but feel as though...

I don't buy new main pieces for coords, I buy them because I like them. I can plan out coords up to a month in advance, but often change on the day. It's a fashion, not a costume, so I try to work with what I have instead of spending a lot on pieces for specific outfits for specific events.
>>9014949
If you want to find something cheap, there isn't really any other option than just keeping an eye out for good deals.
I'm not even sure what you mean by something cheaper.. second hand stores that have prices even lower than CC? It all depends on the individual pieces
Post about your local comms!

I think my comm is planning something for Phoenix comic con since they usually do. But I left the comm to get my shit together mentally and am too embarrassed to ask to join again.
>>9003967
Just contact a mod and explain why you left. I doubt they'd reject you for doing what you had to for your mental health.

Kind of amazed with how long after the bump limit the thread just went on.
Either way, how many artists have cancelled AX so far? I know Shilin/Okolnir has.
I tabled at a first year con last year and it was so so dead I barely broke even.
I got a free table there this year from the art contest but I still can't shake the bad feeling I have about it as I prepare. Have any of you felt something like a "let's get this over with" about a con before?
>>8999230
Only when I was young and stupid and tabling with even stupider friends.
If the table's free you might as well go. Good luck with the con.
Under the Sea is coming up at the weekend, who's waiting for things to arrive in the post? What are you expecting to see? Got any tourist plans for being in Amsterdam?
I still havent finished planning either of my coords, looks like it's going to be 20-25 degrees Celsius though so I'm glad I don't need to pack too many layers
>>8989967
I'll head off to Amsterdam tomorrow and stay there for a week. I planned a museum tour and also a day in s Hertogenbosch to visit the Bosch exhibit. Apart from that I'm prepared to blow all my money on the vendors at the event.
My coords are already planned but I fear I'm going to be underdressed as I'm neither very OTT nor sticking to the theme. I'm expecting that mermaid coords and pirates will dominate at the event.
Ugh, I've been to Amsterdam 4 times and keep just missing these events becausenI live under a rock, though I did go in full Lolita every day last time. How much are tickets and where do you usually book your accommodation?
>>8989985
Did you reserve tickets for the Bosch exhibition? It's sold out, so you can't visit the exhibition without a ticket.
Dokomi just ended and no thread to post?
Didn't want to make one for the Dokomi alone, so German General but feel free to share thoughts about your experience!
> better than least year?

too big, too long queues, too crowded
shit weather, though that's not the orga's fault
eurocosplay skits were mostly disappointing, the winner did good, though
cosplay guests were cool but it seems no one ever told them they were holding a workshop
>>8988425
sounds like it was not worth it.
Kinda glad then I didn't go
>>8988334
I am curious what other anons say about Dokomi. First and last time I was on Dokomi, tickets were quite cheap for one day (~10€), but it was still rather boring. Since I moved to the Ruhr area, I was planning to give Dokomi and cons another chance, but their prices for tickets were raised by alot. All I heard from people I know who went there was that they grew alot in size and number of vendors. But is that all? I don't want to spend that much money just to hang around and see what is going on there.

Old thread sucked. >>8991829
Are any qt lolitas going?
Seagull meet up where? I wager there will be a good few discarded McDonald's bags to pillage fries from in the parking lot by the 5th light pole from the left.
I need last minute help ideas.
Where can I get a white and black sticker which I can cut into little squares
MT hungry for pizza guy from last thread here:
So sounds like Hyatt Bar is the meet up? What time did we want to that going? I know someone had badges to pick up at 8. I'll get dinner early.

>>9011950
Looks like she wanted to do a casual coord, but completely missed the mark.
Old one ded. >>9000104
Post feels. Happy, sad, whatever. As long as they're cgl related.
One of my lolita friends has become more and more outwardly a gull to the point where it's cringe. She always talks about cgl and what people are saying on cgl at meets and uses cgl terms like instead of saying "I can't go out this weekend. I don't have money.", she'll say "I'm a temp poorfag now kek."
How do I tell her that's cringy as fuck? She's way older than me and I was hoping she'd figure it out but apparently she hasn't.
>>9006797
Just be honest with her. Tell her that the reason that shit is on /cgl/ is because it's supposed to stay on here. She'll probably catch on. It sounds like the people who constantly reference memes because they're Hip and Randum.

Bump for Friday!
![Tail_(furry)[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/8b3FCO0.jpg "Tail_(furry)[1].jpg")
Hi.
I'm not a furry.
Can anyone educate me about tails? Are there secure ways to attach them, preferably something much better than clothespins? Also any recommendations? Looking for something long and catlike rather than bushy.
https://www.anthrowear.com
I really like mine, super think and bushy. Has a stiff metal core so you can curl it up and it doesn't hang limp. It fastens on with a big metal triangle paper clip thing.

So if someone yanked on it would it just haul your pants off?

New Thread! Discuss where to buy, where not to buy, recent purchases, reviews and sales!
Any circle lens brand/series recommendations for someone with astigmatism and rather dry eyes? I've only ever used normal clear lenses and have been told not to wear them for more than ~6 hours at a time but I want to experience being as kawaii desu as the rest of you gulls, even if it's just the once. I'm mostly looking for a very natural brown but other colors could be fun, too.
>>8988553
Neo Vision torics
Can someone ID these lenses?
Spring time means sailor lolita time to me! Also I don't have a coord planned for UtS so I'm looking for inspiration. Requesting good gothic or otome sailor coords!

>Fond memories
I had a fantastic local fan group who organized multiple dances per year for years. I skipped my high school's ones and got my awkward adolescent groove on as Roxy or Kanaya instead. Way more fun, and way more people that I liked being around, than I would have had at school at the time.

Why do I even open these threads anymore........
>>8975330
Because its sad and funny to watch non-homestucks struggle and often refuse our tutorials
Old thread is in autosage. Let's continue.
I want to cosplay Judy Hopps but I'm afraid of the furries
>>8971136
Instead of a full fursuit, do a gijinka like the Pokemon fans.
I think the general public would appreciate this cosplay. When I went to see the film is was mostly adult couples.
