New containment thread. Old thread saged >>10691181
>>10700298I'm fat and heavily into lolita but I haven't bought a single piece yet because the thought of seeing myself as a disgusting monster trying to emulate cuteness makes me want to slash my throat with a broadsword
>>10702182>heavily into lolita >haven't bought a single piece yetNo. You're just heavy.
>>10702182use it as your goal. if you wanna slim down, you can use getting into lolita as your goal
how well do angelic pretty OTKs that fit for girls with thicker calves? (muscular calves)
>>10702196This is what I'm doing. Without lolita I wouldn't have the motivation to try to lose weight as almost nothing else makes me happy. I can tell I lost a little bit already but I don't have access to a scale. Want to get down to around 125-130 (Was at 235). Not going to tell anyone about it and just let everyone figure out on my own as I don't want to upset my larger friends.

>>10702083Yes, lets just sit at home, do nothing, amd interact with no one.
>>10702083fucking hell.... why cant we all stop pretending this is anything more than a mild flu?
>>10702083> maybe in-person gatherings in generalDefinitely. I work for the US government and I can confirm that we’ll be implementing full martial law in February. Leaving your house will only be allowed with a proper permit for work and other approved individual activities. Delivery groceries will be subsidized by the government however.
>>10702169>Delivery groceries will be subsidized by the government however.that's how you know for sure he's lying
>>10702129Isn't that what we have been doing the last 2 years? I have no issues if they lock down again. I'm use to it and it's so comfy.

>>10701921lost to time.
>>10702032Not a shock when it's a rerelease (so most western lolitas who want it probably already got it. I mean this is the 5th release of this cut isn't it?). Plus AP's competing against Black Friday which might not be a big deal in Japan (or France) but tons of online stores participate.
>>10702032The socks sold out really fast on the jp onlineshop, but they're still available on Paris. Grabbed a pair just in case, originally I hoped to save some money but oh well
>>10701983>>10701997Thanks for the info!
Because MAGFest's data security is still a joke, and they rely on Google docs for just about everything, here's the result of the COVID-19 survey they had earlier in the year. "No Jab, No games for you" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/164VgU0P8yrwLn_go0Y1s9u_7FLfOSgxdeHIIa8UAmTw/edit# - Screenshots below for when they figure out their screw-up.Expect staffers constantly screaming at you to put your mask back on despite already having the vaccine.
>>10701864Oklahoma governor already overrode Pentagon orders regarding the vaccine mandate when it came to National Guard, and last I checked they were working on a bill where employees can sue companies due to Vaccine and Mask mandates. There's hope.

>>10700733damn this sounds like a bomb threat. In the MAGfest minecraft server no less.
>>10701864Theres the 4th event: A supply chain collaspe leading to a economic collaspe forcing the feds to resign en masse. Then they will have no real choice but to end all mandates or go out of business. I'm speculating that they will double down anyway.
>>10702128>I'm speculating that they will double down anyway.If that happens there's will be blood in the streets and civil chaos.
Discuss. With the closing of some brands, the diminishing quality and radio silence of others, and the drying up and price hike of the second hand market, has the rona officially started the end of lolita fashion? What is your opinion?
>>10702002Nah the opposite, wearing lolita outside makes going outside itself more fun.
>>10702028When did you join cgl?
>>10701660Yes, but it's been a really long time. It's also one of the events that kind of led to vendettas being banned. A woman who did adult work as her career was also a lolita. Back then, there wasn't really any porn of actual lolitas; just bad 'sissy' looking stuff.She did a video wearing lolita, and she got bullied out of the fashion. I seem to remember she ended up apologizing & selling her dresses which wasn't right (because she couldn't wear it anymore to meets or anything without getting harassed). Because no one had done it, it ended up all over the internet.I just remember it was really, really bad. She was all over /cgl/ and everywhere. It's kind of why you don't see any lolita porn during its height.
>>10701660I should add, anon, to what I said in >>10702192. To explain how long ago this was, it's when nobody was really doing webcam work because webcams were still EXTREMELY expensive so you didn't really have your major streaming websites or any of that yet. She assumed no one would recognize her, but the person who bought the video was assumed to have possibly been responsible for releasing it where she could get DOXXED. Pretty much, /cgl/ had stills from the beginning and even links being posted. Like I said, she ended up quitting the fashion from my understanding. People were upset she wore the actual fashion in a porn.That's the only instance I know of someone being bullied out of the fashion.
Well, cgl is dying because of "anons" like >>10702028, >>10702051 and other retarded outsider bitches, who come to cgl to whine about cgl and who killed the sense of community and 'being a seagull' we used to have.
I really like drawings of j-fashion that also serve to introduce or highlight some of the elements of the substyle. Please share some of this type of artAll j-fashion is welcome
>>10674073>>10674074This are so nostalgic. I was a teen from 2007-2010 so I liked both of these, even had decoden up to my early college days. I guess I followed the 2007 look more (to the best of my abilities, since I was not in Japan) but also looked a lot to 2003 looking older high schoolers when I was in junior high. There was this Korean girl (if I find a picture of her I'll attach it) that was the top beauty to me at the time lol I wanted a shaggy mullet like that so badly, but I knew I couldn't pull it off.
>>10699326 literally am so glad shaggy mullets r coming back it gives me hope for the future
>>10656230>>10656231>>10656233>>10656234Where can I find clothes like this? Please...
>>10702193Wa-lolita and/or classic lolita for the first two. The second is mostly traditional clothing with a few modern twists like the corset waist cincher. For the second, a mixture of traditional Japanese clothing shops, lots of second hand stuff, combined with Victorian goth (EGA). It looks to be based off what people started wearing when Western fashion first met Japanese fashion especially starting after WWII. (That mix of traditional Japanese and old-school European-style clothing which you'd find in a shop for Victorian goth.)I hope that helps.
>>10702193I'd be more of help, but I feel a lot of shops that'd sell that stuff won't exist in the U.S. or Europe regions. I feel like there's at least one secondhand shop in Tokyo that really caters to that type of feel though (if it's not closed down).There's not many U.S. or Europe-based shops that sell secondhand vintage Japanese clothing.
Older is fine too.
>>10688737>>10688792You don't even know how much better cons were back in the day. People actually had fun. Now it's all lines, clout chasing, and anime that's just really not as good.

Cosplay and Jfash feels go here. Previous thread >>10695247What was the last thing that made you happy?
I bought 15 pairs of otk/tights and 5 pairs of lolita shoes, super excited for them to arrive because i’ve just been making do with 1 pair of shoes this entire time lol
>>10702138>successfully distanced or closed themselves from all online and offline lolita communities before, including cgl?Yes. I was pretty active on cgl between 2012-2018 and then I left. I didn't start sporadically checking cgl again until this year. Even now, I only check here like 1-2 times/week.
>>10702038punpun didn’t die with aiko
Cried for like 5 hours straight yesterday because I'm severely depressed, and my situation is bad and I keep trying for the past 6 years to improve it and it literally just gets worse every single time and I'm afraid I'm going to die early and contrary to what I said, I don't really wanna die.
>>10702181lets run away together aiko. i wont do u what punpun did to aiko

>>10700517None, and both. Every person is different. The only one that can correctly answer that question is your friend.
Am having trouble finding clothes that are the right color, honestly doesn't make sense to me why they can't just print it in light pink or some shit. Is there some place that just has a ton of varied products in many colors that isn't just too costly?I had to come up with an aproximation from what i could find, does this color scheme make sense?Beige-ish pink, black, white.
>>10700938Would a silverish grey work better instead of white?
Sorry if i keep asking this, i know the answer is to just not care, but the more i get to know my friends the more i question if they should know.On one hand they are fairly tolerant people, and i feel they won't kill me over this, but on the other hand they keep on larping as some homophobic football hooligan types even when they are clearly not so into it. I still don't know them that well, but the more i know them the more they just feel like they're lost.Like the people i most care about i think they won't care, but i don't know if they'll give into peer pressure.Is carneval really enough to lower the barrier or should i just not tell them? Like my uncle was part of that hooliganism shit back in the 80's and he got off fine crossplaying for carneval, back then shit was less tolerant.
I'm an average height guy but I'm underweight, I hate the way my arms look which is why I always wear long sleeve shit, are there any workouts I could do to get some muscle on my arms so that I can be comfortable wearing some cosplay with short sleeves?
>>10702114lol
>>10702116I guess I'm missing something then. Idk what PhotoVogue is, is it like user submissions run by an intern?
>>10702126it's a shitty site for photogs to advertise on. user uploaded.
>>10702114You'd have to be a moron to think this was a paid shoot for Vogue magazine. Holy fuck. Autism.
>>10702131It looks like the typical normie artsy photography that you'd see in there
What is a good cosplay for a tall-ish, really skinny man? Most characters that I know of have some muscle at the very least.
>>10700672Genius
Man. I wish I know how to properly crossdressing.
>>10700660That is a lie and you know it. At 6'5" I can easily put on 2-3kg a month in bulking periods, and that's if i want to minimize the amount of fat. Yeah, you're gonna have to eat a lot, and probably also force a lot of food down, but it's far from impossible if you just eat enough.
>>10701557No you can't, sorry.

>>10702135Not surprised. Martha has always been one of those money hungry fake guru types. Everyone can see through her bullshit.
>>10702139This is exactly what I thought. Maybe if she had an ounce of success herself it would give her advice some actual value..
>>10702135She's joking right.... Her knowledge is valuable, but not $275 valuable....
>>10702135I know people who run high ticket “mentorship” programs. Most of them smile through their teeth and give empty info. I feel like this is the same thing. Martha barely has success so why would anyone want to learn from her? Even then, she has nothing to offer after this course. I feel like she could easily make this into a 1-2 hour Masterclass on how to improve being an idol and charge maybe $150 for it. I’d much rather learn from Julily or another big name than Martha.
>>10702179Sage for samefag but I take back what I said about the $150. My boss literally runs a free Masterclass that lasts 9 days that consists of 5 main & 4 bonus sessions. The point? To get people to buy into your program that has ACTUAL value.
What are your thoughts when you see this?
>>10701837aren't girls that go to cons weird though?
I cannot believe there are seagulls on this board who are not lifetime /fit/izens as well. do you even get strange in con bathrooms? this is pathetic truly pathetic.
>>10699585He's got the body but he looks kind of short. Not that that's a bad thing, but would be nicer if he was a bit taller.
>>10701869They're just attracted to muscular men and I don't see a problem, it's really no different then women who approach buff guys in bars and clubs. It's the same concept as men being attracted to a woman with large tits, ass, and a small waist.
>>10700948Women can't fully appreciate the male figure, not the way another man can.
