Opinions on this?
>>8835880
don't
I think they sound like an entitled brat so I don't give two shits about how they dress. They can fuck right off.
>>8835880
>Opinions on this?
no.
No is my opinion on this.
Shoehorning in shoes that don't go with anything by adding on awkwardly placed cheap ribbon is a bad idea.
new larp thread, now with 110% more elitism

PostApoc dude here who posted the first few NERF blasters in the other thread. Just finished a rampage with some new paints and techniques. I like this better than my previous work. (See old thread) The light is washing out alot of the orange rust, it's more obvious in real life.

I was gonna say, it looks unfinished. Like something that was used a lot but only in sterile environments, steel corridors, not a speck of dirt.
I'd give it some more wear and pitting with browns and reds.
Might just be the camera though.

Got a horizontal pump-grip in the mail and can use the worker stock from my AK on it, too.
Here's my getup so far, I've wrapped my armor in chicken-wire and ties a bunch of crap to it to form some kinda ghetto-ghillie. I'm aiming for a STALKERish wasteland survivalist who goes out looking for cool junk to come back and trade with. So, the camo is supposed to hide me from natural (or un-natural) predators rather than other wastelanders. Thoughts? Looking at it now, it still needs to be filled out some more.
Post your favorite sweet coords and discuss.
>>8828677
Gimme a sec and I'll do a dump, I'll try and say why I like all of the coords I post!
I like the mature aspect of this coord, the more muted accessories make it much more toned down but still looks really nice and fancy!
I think my favourite part of this is the huge puffball hairclip, I think it adds a little bit of fun to a really nice, simple coord!

What do you think?
Wheres the fun in that

Mystery?
Eh, cheaper to wear shorts. Or panties over your tights over your actual panties, if you're trying to be accurate.
What are you guys doing for Valentine's day?
I'm hoping to have a Valentine's Day themed meet/photoshoot with some friends, but I'm kind of stuck on ideas. Can we post co-ords and inspo?
>>8825306
I'm working.
Shit sucks because it's CNY too. That'll teach me to look more closely at my work schedule next year.
>>8825306
I'll be lucky if I can just pull a regular meet with some card exchanging and candy at a local spot.

Seriously considering making some kind of AE copy paste guide thing, like when you should chose it over taobao and vice versa.
>>8824778
What the fuck is this and why do I kind of want one?
>>8824857
>[...] Making an AE copy paste guide thing
Can peeled cuc be the mascot? Or perhaps pic related?
>>8824778
That would be awesome, I really want to get the blouse in the pic related along with some other items from this shop

(from AliExpress Android)
But idk if there is a taobao shop with the items at better prices.
We always have cosplay horror stories, so let's get some funny /cgl/ related tales. Anything funny ever happen to you at a con? Out fabric shopping? At a meet-up? Tell us.
Fabric shopping? I love my store.
>Meeting shop attendants who get interested in what I'm making.
It's a pretty large store which sells fabric only, from godawful furniture coverings, to wedding dress material, and most of my cosplaying dreams. The workers often have to help their customers find the what suits their need, nerds like me included. Once I bought fabric for a cape and the lady was nice and excited enough to help me roll out enough fabric to shake about, understanding what the final product would behave like....

From a Joanns thread way back.
Akumakon is on the 22nd.
Who's going? Any plans for cosplay? Any panels you guys are planning to go to?
I would've liked to go to the later panels /pub quiz on Friday, but I can't make it that day (or that late regardless)
>>8818392
Got banned. Let my doppel get loose in a local knacker's yard and basically fucked the local satellite internet.
Anyone got to Kaizoku?
Are the VIP passes really a load of expensive bollox?
First time going to a con lads. Any dos or don'ts?
>>8824775
Do bathe and wear deoderant.
Dont act like a cunt
Can we have a listing pic vs actual product thread? Stuff from China is always a huge chance and we buy enough as a board.
Give us your worst taobao, aliexpress, ebay, etc...

I'll bump with some to start, but would love for some OC to pass through.
Love these kinds of threads. Post good bodyline coords or just ones you really like. Post your own if you want or need help with it.
I'll post some that I have saved
These threads are great. Does anyone have good Bodyline coords with other fashions like fairy kei or something like that?
Last one saged >>8770647
Gurokawaii is a j-fashion that mixes the grotesque with the cute. Menhera is very similar, but uses medical themes rather than spooky and horror themes.
There might be themes that some people may not be comfortable with in this thread, browse at your own discretion.
I'm in love with these syringe accessories that I keep seeing. Mini pic spam.

there's already so many posted are they all worth looking at?
Just look at the first picture and you will see whether the picture quality is worth it.
I'm still waiting for the old school wardrobes but so far HD-chan, Amytsukada & xlempickax are my favorites.
I'm a sucker for Meta, Baby/AatP, Atelier Pierrot, BoZ, Moitie, gothic in general and old school sweet & gothic wardrobes so I hope more of those pop up soon.

Is EGL the only place people usually post wardrobe posts? I want to make a wardrobe post just so I can kinda track my wardrobe progress but I've never used EGL. Would it seem weird to make an account just to post my wardrobe?
Who was waiting to open gifts on Christmas Day? Let's see your presents!
old thread >>8759347
>card/gifts were never posted, just a two-word reply
>didn't receive anything
Bah humbug.

Packages might be taking slower than usual. What was supposed to take a week took almost two and a half for the package I sent to my mum.

She sounds like a bitch desu, you realistically need to start your wardrobe with simple pieces, and karami jsks are generally really nice.
>>8846481
Are you the same anon that posted awhile ago about getting (and coording) the white Karami JSK and pink/white AH skirt? Don't let C's opinion get to you, it's what you think that matters; they're your clothes after all. Maybe she doesn't like BTSSB's older style, that's fine, it's her opinion, it doesn't mean that what you bought is shit.
I understand that you're upset but don't think about selling your stuff yet. Wait until you have the JSK and skirt in your...
