So now that the Brexit is crashing the pound exchange rate what are some good British indie/brand/offbrand stores that take payment in pounds?
Will Brands and stores like Taobao and Bodyline even accept orders from UK Customers now?
Given that we have Killed the market over there.
Anyone else getting janky gbp conversions when they try to pay with paypal? Seems to me that they're using old conversions and not the recent ones ie. what value it's gone down to last night and today.
>be me
>bought an item on LM last night
>seller is from the UK
>seller tells me I have 3 business days to complete the transaction on PayPal
Looks like I'm going to wait the full 3 business days then.
Hey /cgl/ what are some good cosplays for bigger guys?
I have a local con coming up and I was thinking Dick Gumshoe but open to other ideas.
>>9065084
good taste in beefy husbando, anon
Bane if your bald or wario off the top of my head
>>9065084
Now when you say "bigger" do you mean broad shouldered tall guys, or fatsos?
Hey guys, can we have a tumblr sharing thread?
I'm looking for inspirational blogs to follow, self-posting is welcome but I want all kinds of blogs so please post recommended blogs as well.
>>9058567
I want to help but I don't feel safe posting my blog here anymore.
>>9058716
Well, do you have any favorites you follow then? Anything is welcome.
>>9058936
My favourite isn't welcome here.
With less than a month away, I guess it's time for a ConnectiCon thread.
This is my first time going... what can I expect?
Is anyone else going? And if anyone has a room they plan on cancelling at the Marriott, I would happily take it off your hands, as I plan on wearing some heavy shit and the closer I am to my room from the convention center the better.
I'll be going, though unfortunately not in cosplay this year due to some complications.
Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative mode of transportation to get into Hartford than just driving?
Last year I think I spent something like $40 to park for the weekend, and that's annoying.
I would take a bus, but I typically leave the convention around midnight, give-or-take an hour, and I don't think the buses run that late.
>>9051009
I'm going.
The food situation is weird, there's not many restaurants within reasonable walking distance, and everyone knows buying food at the con itself is waste of money.
Personally I'm going to be salty as fuck if those food truck don't show up at the nearby park. I ain't buying food at the con, and the only place nearby is subway.
Does anyone know if there's going to be a lolita panel or at least a meet up or something?
Shame cube with friends edition
Old thread >>8968046
Taobao thread (strongly recommend for larger orders): >>9021685
Continuing with bizarre AE stock photos

Ah good, the thing that worried me most about the shame cube was the isolation. Now that I know i can enjoy sitting in it with my friends legs ill definitely order one!
>>9029176
Depends on your local post service, I have had things find their way to me without the house number but had everything else. But I have lived in the same place for years so the postman knows me, or if they asked someone along the road most people would probably be able to tell them my house number. I would ring your local post office and tell them what happened and ask what can be done, they might be able to keep an eye out for it or something
Tanbi kei - 90s edition
The aristocrats of 90s visual kei, not limited to just lolita or aristo though. Let's discuss good old bands/styles and share pics. Pic very related.
Has anyone ever done Hotline Miami, and can anyone offer some good tips if my cosplay is bad?
I plan on doing some more in future, but my issue is money. Tips, tricks, anything?
Also if you've done it, post it, i wanna see.
You won't be able to see it, but the B that is stitched on is yellow and black. It's alright, but i need to change that out.
I have another i can post, to show i have the shoes just fine.
2nd pic.
You can't use weapons with the Tony mask. Your cosplay should be weathered. You should post in the help thread. Sage.
>>9088594
I know, That is what i did in my previous cosplays. I had a friend with me doing duo cosplay so i carried the Bat in her interests, plus it's from Hm1, so it's intended as that Mask, (which allowed him weapons)
I was going to look into getting some acrylic paint or food dye to add to the costume.
Hm2 tony, which i am doing at one point, i intend on no weapons regardless of what others say.
Welcome back to reality, friends!
I hope you all had a safe and fun time this time around.
Now to prepare for next year!
Time to start working out for next year

Everything Fanime did AX did better. Holy cow this was the most one sided fight I've ever seen.
Do you think there's a age limit in cosplaying?
I honestly don't think so.
what about you guys?
There is no age limit for cosplay. Only an age limit for characters.
>>9087371
you mean like characters shouldn't be over 21 or?
30 is the limit
How was everyone's time at AX this year?
5 D A Y S N E X T Y E A R
>>9086595
Fucking wat.
AX was shit. The staff was retarded, it was overcrowded, the AA was hell, and I honestly didn't feel like throwing more money for all the extra stuff. I didn't get many pics of cosplayers because it was too crowded. I honestly only went to 4 panels and the only one worth it was the trigger panel. Probably will avoid AX next year.
For those in Artist Alley did you rake in the cash or were you fucked by the tiny crowded walkways?

I want to make a cosplay of something that requires some sort of electrical/mechanical design. All I can think of is making an android/gundam type costume, or do some steampunk fedora shit.
So what are some costumes I could make that would incorporate some mechanical/electrical design? LEDs, Motors, etc.
Pic related would be a little above in beyond, but you get the idea.
what about props? LED Sword are fancy
>>9085889
They're a bit overplayed imho.I'm just looking for costume ideas based on certain characters and whatnot and I'm drawing a blank.
Another idea for incorporating LEDs would be pic related. So basically any character that would have parts that "glow" in their respective medium.
Lots of fantasy/sci-fi stuff. Characters from WoW, Diablo, League. Halo. Mass Effect. They usually have something glowing, like eyes or gems or wings or weapons, though you said you didn't want that. Robot characters lend themselves to lights and sounds as well.
How's your con going?What do you like and hate about this year?
Last meetup tonight at 9pm outside the west entrance?
Badge pickup was hell. And like last year, the smell of body odor is ridiculous.
Oh and the majority of the volunteers can choke on a dick. Power hungry fucks.
Artist alley is really over stimulating. There's so much to look at at once it's exhausting.
What the hell just happened in little Tokyo? They rushed us in to a store, said there were tons of cops with rifles and search helicopters, then said it was all a fluke but 20 minutes still tons of cops and air search?
Has anyone used it yet? Is it safe?
....what is that for? I've never heard of a con safe space.
Why is this a thing?
No Nanchatte thread? Let's fix that!
>What is your favourite style of Nanchatte?
>Favourite brand?/Taobao store?
>Where/when do you usually wear Nanchatte? Do you wear it daily or only for things like cons?
