I'm in the NC comm but I haven't attended any meets yet, what's the drama about?
>>8907086
It varies but it's usually just personal bs that gets blown out of proportion
Things that make you whisper to yourself "...Are you serious???"
Because, come on, we face that moment quite a lot.
I recently came across a post where someone painted a compact mirror with nail polish and drew polka dots ontop of that with a sharpie. It actually didn't look as bad as it could have, but still. Wtf.
A girl on my facebook didn't had any more makeup remover thingy and decided that it was a good idea to wash her face with goddamn nail polish remover. And then speculate it burned. She is 17.
When will AP release something good again?-edition

Hope you're not implying those are good prints.
>>8945460
No, not in my opinion, but some anons really want that Jewel Marine print.
I'm waiting for fall/winter releases.
I'm going to purchase my first underskirt, but I'm not sure what kind of petticoat I should get with it to get the best poof possible. Do you guys have any idea?

Purse haul anon from a couple threads ago, got my knockoffs in the mail today. Hot damn, these are pretty great. Goddamn sturdy bags. The weird shapes are naturally going to be a weakness (the back of the top part of the cross bends a little, as do the points on the bottom of the Horror Bat bag) but the construction is super solid. No loose threads anywhere, all the hardware seems pretty heavy-duty, and the zippers are all set in attractively and securely. The pearls aren't scuffed at all and all the gold components match in tone. The embroidery is solid and doesn't look janky at all. Overall very attractive bags. I haven't seen the originals so I have nothing to compare them to, but I'm damn happy with them.
All three are from lsxgs.taobao.com
Any recommendations for stores with male aristocrat stuff?
Suggestions for cute phone charm stores?
Also what keywords should I be using for those charms with a white fluff ball at the end.
Post em.
Gotta love the cosplay enablers
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/wtf-is-cosplay
The people in this show in general are super horrible
I need more.
post em cuties!
I have this one, and every time I use it I bless my sweet mother for taking it with her from her family home. The seams are beautifully mechanical, and the feeling of sewing with it is the best.
Which do you prefer, electrical or mechanical machines and why? I'm getting a new machine soon and I'm not sure if I should get an electrical one.
Share witchy lolita and j-fashion!

Sell it! It's an easy sell atm if you aren't greedy.
Old one but it's made me wary of buying from other people.
>see a pair of Jfashion shoes on ebay
>they're used but look in great condition
>I win the auction for them at $20 which was way less than the seller wanted for their Buy It Now price
>seller promises shoes will arrive in 5 days
>I don't get any tracking number but it's ok because the seller lives in the state above me so I know it won't take long
>5 days come and there's no box with my shoes
>instead I get a letter in USPS envelope with handwritten name/address and no return
>inside is another handwritten note on USPS stationary that says "Found loose on mail floor" or something like that, the cursive was hard to read
>enclosed is a printed out paypal transaction for the shoes I bought
>I immediately think the box with my shoes had some kind of mishap during shipping
>immediately contact the seller and tell her what happened
>she seems baffled and has no idea why USPS sent me a letter
>I ask her for the tracking info to find the shoes
>"The post office didn't give me tracking."
>ask her to call her post office to ask them about it then
>get another excuse and tries to tell me to sort it out myself and call them
>ask her outright what shipping method she got
>"I got flatrate priority mail."
>that includes tracking, why is she saying otherwise?
>she gets defensive and keeps claiming they didn't give her tracking
>she gets mad and posts the receipt to prove they didn't give her tracking
>receipt isn't for a package, it's for a USPS envelope
>same envelope that was mailed to me
>I call her out on her shit, immediately think she's a scammer and threaten to file a claim
>she rages at me and keeps all capslocking that she didn't buy an envelope, she bought a package!
>open a claim with ebay
>she finally produces evidence of a package
>check the tracking on it
>it was marked as undeliverable as addressed and sent back to her
>she some how fucked up my address
>get money back anyway and she keeps the shoes

What the actual fuck.
Stay away from her anon.
>>8936291
desu I'm desperate enough I would take it.
Even if we weren't romantically compatible, a rori fwb that I could court at high tea and fuck through my dorm bed sounds ideal.
When you get all dressed up in your coord or floofy cosplay, don't you just love a good spin?

>The "Oh shit where did the website go?!" Edition
So Bodyline's website is completely gone. Trying any number of links only comes up with errors.
Anyone know how long the site has been down?
>>8921303
rest in fucking pieces
It's not just the standalone site either, their rakuten seems to be completely empty all of a sudden too. Hope none of you gulls placed any recent orders because Yan just took your money and ran
The FB hasn't been updated since Feb, is this truly the end?
We've had quite the amount of these in the past and I don't know if they're still permitted, but in case they are: let's have a friend thread!

>cosplay or lolita (or any other type of jfashion)?
>other hobbies/interests

They basically always get deleted for being off topic. We're not allowed to be friends.

I know mods generally get their panties in a bunch as soon as people start to exchange contact info of any kind, but still. I'd think this is on topic enough for the board.
