Hopefully it isn't as dogshit as 2023!Shame you can't buy single-day passes anymore. Purchases seem to be done entirely online now as well.
>>10909517was this you?
>>10909541if you saw me i was probs pc98 arisu desu
touhou is cringe and gay
>>10909300I don't even want to begin to think about how hard that was to put together.
>>10909577You don't have to, all the costumes posted thus far were store bought.
How was Holmat? Anything interesting happen?Anyone keeping an eye on the cosplayblackbook IG for the latest drama?Any future plans?
>>10904245KYS already, faggot. Not like the Florida thread has been that active in a while anyway, but I have no doubt this has been so slow in part because the retard OP didn't even bother to include "Florida" anywhere in the title. Basically none of the threads you necrobump ever revive either
So there's nothing until May then?
>>10906483Unless you're including Kirbiicon in there, not really, no
There we have it, folks. It's a week later and further than ever, but at least we're not stuck waiting until summer only to find it's cancelled. And most importantly, no atrium
NYS, retard.
I'm looking for opinions on these summertime conventions in Ohio:> AnimeOhio - June 23-25> Galaxycon Animate! - July 19-21> Matsuricon - Aug 30-Sept 1> Are there others? Colossalcon is too early for usThe last two years, my kid and I have gone to Matsuricon. It's been a lot of fun, we like people watching and doing a few panels. I thought the vendor hall was a bit sparse though.We're thinking about the other two this year since Matsuricon is so late in the season.All three websites give no real info, since panels and events and all that aren't posted until right before it happens. They all have cosplay contests and artists and all that, but no way to tell what sort of vibe they have.Any opinions would be appreciated.
>>10904287Animarathon? Was it any good? Missed it because I wasn't sure a two hour drive was worth it
>>10907252>>10907252It was pretty okay. Hard to be wowed by college anime club ran conventions. They surprisingly got some real guests this year. Something about Bowling Green University really invites the stereotypical "Tumnlr" girl tho. I was amazed to see panels involving shit like Hetalia in the year our lord 2024. Also a surprising amount of people walking around with arm bar crutches. Idk if it's something in the water there or it's just their main demographic. All and all pretty chill, I enjoy laid back cons where you can just bum around.
>>10903754Go to Matsuricon, everything else is a clown show especially Colossalcon.
>>10903754>Ohayocon website is deadWelp, it's down to Matsuri now.
>>10907252It was ok. I think its too big for the area. The artist alley was just shit. AI generated or LGBTQ+. Like no dealers there at all.
ramona closet cosplay lolzz

>>10909166Doncha just loooooove Halloween?
>>10909166So not only did someone actually enjoy that movie, but even enough to cosplay from it? I just... why
>>10909166Did you by chance ever go on a date with a cute dorky girl that really liked idol music to see that movie? She wanted to leave because it sucked and you did not?
>>10909166YOUR JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUECANT TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
SCOTTISH HIGHLAND DRESSI really should put a good one together for funerals and what not. I'm in the most inbred sept of the 7 Highlander Clans and a descendant of the first king of Scotland.I'm thinking about going with an over the top obnoxious "Supreme Overlord" look. I definitely want a fancy cross belt to hold down the over the shoulder tartan.
I think the best I can do for Ghillie Brogues would be tall Medieval Moccasins. The fanciest I could do would be... plain black leather boots but have the laces in gold leaf with my clan tartan instead of white socks shown here, with a cuff of rabbit fur at the top to shamefully hide my royal thighs.The suede ones wouldn't look as good as the black leather. The most over the top thing I could do to the boots themselves is have two chevrons applied to them in gold leaf. My COA is a humble two chevrons. My crest badge is legendary.
The cross belt... well because I want gold hardware that's probably going to be a fun thing to make happen.I don't want a No. 1 Highland jacket though, maybe something like... a done up wedding jacket?
I call this one "Antique Least"
>>10905390>i live my life according to rules made up by some literal whocringeblonde is fine in gothic lolita
I've never visited this board before and no absolutely nothing about cosplaying. What's so funny?
>>10909019Cheap aliexpress items that look like they're trying to invoke the style of certain beloved lolita brands, but they miss the mark (except one is just a cheap cosplay but it still kind of works for that brand) and deliberately spreading false info about lolita fashion because it's funny when people stumble into a shit post thread and think it's real
>>10909121These aren't aliexpress items, anon, many of them are legit brand items or brand stock photos.
>>10909143None of this is brand besides the Boz screenie, newfag. Unfunny thread for retards.
How do I make a historically accurate gambeson for a Renaissance faire?
Ask >>10873579
Remember when you would get an extra nice dress for Easter Sunday? It would then be worn to church or weddings or other events. Post coords that evoke nostalgia for that time.
I'm sorry, are we sure this wasn't mistaken for the ita thread? There were so many extremely photoshopped faces, peeking petticoats, and low effort coords. I thought that that was the lowest " 'ita' criteria " we've been using for the past couple of years?
>>10908521that's because our resident autist image dump-chan has no taste and is probably a literal robot..
I find that after wearing a costume to a con or other event I don't know what to do with it. When the next event rolls around, I want to make a new costume. This means I have a closet full of old costumes basically just sitting there...What to you do with your costumes when you are "done" with them?
t b h this is why I switched to lolita. I handmake a lot of my stuff so I still get the creativity aspect, and I can switch up the way I wear my dresses so each occasion still feels new to me
>>10905540I don’t wear a lot of costumes, but I would take that sort of thing to a swap meet. I usually don’t even trade stuff there, I give it away when someone wants it.
I try to choose cosplays where the majority of the separate pieces could be worn irl as actual clothes, and go into it treating anything which couldn't be worn irl as disposable. This may cause me to use some pieces which are not 100% accurate to the character or to historical accuracy, and my job is then to figure out how to hide those inaccuracies. If I know I would be able to use a part irl if it just didn't have a design or whatever on it, I purposefully make certain parts removable (such as attaching designs on fabric with temporary glue, magnets, temporary paint, etc instead of permanently gluing or sewing them on), or purposefully choose a version of the character (such as "prequel vs sequel", "manga vs anime") which contains less wasteful parts, or I pose the costume ("use the scarf from episode 4 to cover your neck so no one can see your neckline is actually just a normal t-shirt").I'm a public school teacher so I can't wear too "out there" stuff even in my private life, or I'll get found out and fired because random people take photos of you and send them to your boss and coworkers (schools are damn strict - can't be a ninja or even make a finger gesture of a gun like Vash in Trigun because that "advertises violence"). So I'm mostly doing tame costumes and stuff based off historical clothing.
>>10908447This! I recycle my pieces for casual cosplay like on weekends and nights out.
sell them on cos marketplace groups,, or let ur friends borrow them or wear them again

Does anyone have any scans from vol 1-4 of this zine? (Or other obscure lolita zines in general?)
>>10905174Before internet they were a big deal, alt subcultures got their info from zines. I get you, I wish we have more quality zines but we don't even blog anymore.
>>10905175Just take the L and go. No one has a scan of your mediocre zine. Ugly quilt, bad taste.
>>10905176NTA but no, they shouldn't be really low quality, they're supposed to be passion projects. Low budget is different than low effort and low effort tends to be ita. I feel like it's one of those things where the people who chose to attempt it are the exact people who shouldn't. They don't have to be amazing or anything, but many I've seen especially in the western comm are narcissistic circle jerks. They tend to act like very personal opinions or experiences are universal and treat them like fact which is weird. >>10905060>>10905072This isn't really a zine and the page looks cringe in the personal ways I was talking about. Whoever drew that is really freakish. Also it appears to be written by 2 people.
>>10905239sorry let me just make an entirely new thread next time to look for a specific book instead of posting it in the already existing book-adjacent thread. youre so right. theres more to the book. it was a collaborative effort. There are multiple different comics, testimonials, etc. I want to read it first to form an opinion on it.
bumping this thread before it dies. would posting cgl-adjacent zines like idol zines be okay?
Thread:>Post the cosplayer you have simped for the most>How much you have simped forMy example>Yukeshiro>400+ dollars, 100s of messages adoring herWhy? More simping = more good cosplay. We need cosplayers to know there is an army of simps ready to appreciate them.
>>10904386ok dan
>>10904097Even with photoshop her manjaw is so fucking offputting. Why cosplay a pedobait character if you’re over the age of 13? Kill all lolifags.
Name: Faira StarRussian cosplayer, she's very popular in China but not so much in the west. She's a chinaboo, and cosplays characters from games and old anime, plus her favorite vocaloid.Her skills as a model are top tier, but what sets her above the rest are her dance videos, and that she makes most of her costumes (pic related, self made). She also takes commission work though it may take time to finish the project. She joined an agency months ago and is currently swamped in official work for Genshin in China.

I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)
>>10906536What the hell is going on with her fingers
>>10906679I assume she’s double jointed
Has anyone ever done dress specific themed nails? I'd love to see if so. Thinking of trying my hand at replicating some of my favorite prints onto my nails.
>>10906769nah, it’s a hand deformity
