>>10369517Based lynch.
>>10359976Monochrome Heaven is home to some of the most annoying and perpetually spiteful and contrarian people ever, and if you're from MH you need to go back and stay there. Almost nobody there actually enjoys visual kei, they either repost news articles I can get on any Japanese music new site or talk shit on every band because they're the annoying hens who think being negative is "spilling the tea, sis".
>>10370466I must have not seen much then since I'm just trying to use the site to sell some of the old VK I bought. Can't get rid of this UNiTE or DIAURA even if it's autographed.
>>10370503You might be allowed to post it in the BST, I'm sure someone here would want it
>>10370518Not a bad idea. Thanks for the advice.
Remember, this thread is for stupid questions about J FASHION ONLY If you need cosplay help, go to the cosplay help thread
>>10370232Eternal dark, or KL, says the owner
>>10370293it would be krad, anon. the pronunciation of which is hopefully obvious
>>10370300>lan-reet?>lan-ret?>lan-reh-teh?>lon-ret?
>>10370301see>>10370299
>>10370066you just blew my mind
Still quarantined edition
>>10370527what >>10370529 said.some of the drinks will use real milk but the majority of the tea is done with non dairy powders because they're dirt cheap and last forever, unlike the (literal dozens) of gallons of milk they'd otherwise have to buy.
I owned a MM replica when I first "got" into lolita back in 2010 in high school. It feels so good to now buy an actual MM dress now. Just waiting on my SS to ship, hopefully it won't take too long.
>>10370534>>10370529It might be where you live, but all the places where I've been use actual milk for their boba. But that's because they just sell boba, and aren't those cheap donut store ones.
>>10370543Interesting. I live in a cali college town with boba places out the ass (because there's ~30k asians here) but only the "Fresh Milk" drinks have proper milk in them. Everything else at all 4 or 5 places I've been to has been NDC. Maybe that's just how cheap college town boba is.
>>10370513Seems really mentally sound.
>Keep it /cgl/ related.>All J-fash styles (lolita, mori, otome, gyaru, deco, etc.) are welcome!>Please provide your best photos.>Artists: it's not a bad idea to just sign your work.>Selfposters: When giving credit, it's a good idea to refer to the art as a freebie, NOT fanart.>Artists and Selfposters: Commissions for money are welcomed, but negotiate the terms in private.>Helpful critique is acceptable, insults and taunts are not.>Have fun & draw on!
>>10357599I love the full range of pastels and all the ice cream themed accessories! It was really fun to paint.
>>10370118Awe this is so cute. Thank you. Can I credit you? I want to use this as a pfp.
>>10370144So glad you like it. And of course! My Instagram is in the top right corner.
>>10370118nayrt but this is so cute! i totally want to commission you someday for a yumekawaii outfit
>>10369070Hey anon, someone else interested here - could you post again?
You don’t have anything else to do, so make and post a cute mask.
>>10364678How many layers and what size are your pieces before sewing? My pattern is way too big and I can't figure out how to scale it right. Pls no bully I suck at sewing and want a cute mask. I was doing 10 x 12 and folding it in half, 2 pieces this size so 4 layers. But it's too big even if I sew a big seam allowance
>>10365362Maker of this mask here! ^o^/ I actually made a ton of different masks but Lace Market is being a bitch to me about it and deleted my listing for being "not lolita" :/ (after selling 5 already... wut?) If they don't let me put them up again and you want one, message MirrorMannequin on LM to see what I have ready or to get a custom one made! For everyone being picky about the ribbon, this was an example with ribbon ties and they were/are available with elastic too. (It's really about personal fit. Elastic cuts into my ears, but I can tie mine once and bend my ear to take it off without undoing the knot.)
>>10370459that sucks. if >>10369937 is lolita, then yours is too. maybe if you make the main pic a coord example it will help? wishing you the best.
>>10370459P.S. maybe they'd at least allow it on keimarket
>>10370506That's like the saddest thing I've ever seen Moitie make. :x At least mine have fabric layered under the lace! Might as well make some coorded pics though, I'm dying for any excuse to get dressed these days. Kei market sounds good too, guess I'll try them next and hope people see. Might put them up on Etsy too, but they charge fees and I don't really want to have to overcharge cause of that.
never got to do one of these but i always enjoyed reading them.post yourself, cosplay you'd like to do/have done in the past, give some context, and help others with suggestions.as always, give suggestions in order to recieve them.
dropped pic
>>10370205You'd look 12 if you weren't 130 lbs. You'd do best as Okdaira and Kiki if you don't want to show a lot, which is fine.
>>10370205The entire bottom row.
>>10370205If you are willing to lose weight I think you'd make a good Futaba. Not that you are fat but Futaba is really skinny & waif like. Those shorts are very unforgiving imo, but you could choose another one of her outfits, like the cargo pants one. The other choices are really nice too, especially Kiki and Akira.
>>10370205I think the bottom right character would suit you best! Also the pic of you with the braids reminds me of Beverly Marsh for some reason, I think you could pull her off well!
We're all stuck in quarantine anyways, might as well make our rooms look nicer. Post inspo, tips, etc. To anon a huge while ago who suggested I kon mari my blouses, thank you, it was a lifesaver. So much more room.
>>10369001>>10369120NAYRT but I will post this just for you2009 me was obsessed with her
>>10369099Keep posting, cgl is just bipolar. One second they whine about shit not being tacky or alternative enough and the next they whine about shit being too normie
>>10370442Yup. Plus remember that there are people who appreciate it, me being one of them.
>>10370442i have a theory that might account for this strange disparity in opinion- this is just a possibility, but it might be that there are more than just the two of us here. have more pink.
I have this old magazine from 2010 filled with Japanese room decor. No scanner though. If anyone would be down I can pull that out or at least give y'all a title
Place your bets everyone. Cancelled or postponed?Previous thread>>10361552
>>10370434booth babes and a live stream of the awesome looking convention floor to build hype with cool personalities it isn't fucking transwarp science
>>10370520It's pointless because AX can easily fall back on their refund policy which is clearn as day. You're better off waiting for the government to step in and force them to shut down.
>>10370532AX is a non-profit those tickets you bought are a donation they don't have to do shit except make sure they don't keep to much money and spend it on something.
>>10370537(You)
>>10370538they are a non-profit and have no obligation to return a donation
Nostalgia time! Cosplay and event photos from the 00's (2000-2009). Stories are welcome too. I miss the time where was cosplay.com very active and no social media and instagram cancer like today.
>>10370171>Women are quick to use cosplay is not consent shit even if you're just trying to talk to them>just trying to talk to themI used to be very open and friendly with guys at cons but dude I dont think you realize how many creepers, horny dudes trying to get a quickie or otherwise super off-putting guys there are at cons after women. Those retards ruined it for all of you. And honestly in my experience there's only what I would call one "normal" guy for every 5 creepers that bother you, so yeah ofc women are gonna be flighty at cons. We ain't their looking for dick anyway, we're there to hang out with friends, shop and wear cosplays with said friends.I feel like that's kind've a misunderstanding between male and female congoers, or at least younger ones.
>>10370171Men are never "just trying to talk" to attractive women.
>>10370322female too my dude. It's not even at just guys. I've seen girls freak out on other girls for simply complimenting their bead work on a dress where it was across the chest "my eyes are up here!". Tumblr children have ruined cosplay at cons basically.
>>10370322young girl congoers are annoying though. someone yelled at my bf for "violating her personal space" in an event where we were all told to link arms.
Tutorials, inspo and discussions :)
>>10344364Holy shit anon are you literally me.You just described my situation to a T. I've tried 10000 moisturizers but they all feel like an oily/greasy layer on top of my skin and when I rinse it off my skin is dry again and starts flaking immediately. Even if I don't have black/whiteheads the pores on my nose/cheeks are super visible, I hate it so much. And this is not some 'only stands out to you' type of thing because people actually ask about them from time to time. Sigh, sorry I don't have any advice anon. Hope it helps to know you're not alone.
Since you guys started discussing derma rolling I got kinda intrigued, watched some youtube vids and was really impressed with what it can do. Especially a video of a Asian woman with a saggy wrinkly belly made a huge impact, her results were really amazing, bcause of that I definitely want to try it now. But where to start, I want to try body first but still no sure how long the needle should be desu. Some sites say 1mm other says 3mm, that's confusing for a beginner. Also, can this be combined with rf cavitation treatments? Cause I also want to try that as well once this whole whole corona thing blows over many months from now.
>>10368946Your moisture barrier is compromised. You can't shrink pores but dry or dehydrated skin will cause wide pores to look even larger. You need to add moisture and ideally a occlusive to seal in the products!I also recommend oil cleansing and/or a low pH second cleanser.
>>10351965>Anyone else out there faced with the impermanence of their youth and hating it as much as I am?24/7it's probably my biggest mental issue right now to accept that i have wasted my youth
>>10353039>8 dollar taxFucking yikes
Keep it actually unpopularDon’t use this thread as a reason to bring vendettas and ur personal grudges.Don’t use it to bring up stuff we all agree with either
>>10370514How does that change the fact there are huge rep comms and that none of them care about peer pressure because they are adults?
>>10370524there's a reason that people who support replicas stay in their own communities, they get shamed by the rest of the world. why do you think normies buy replicas they are trying to pass off as real? the stigma. there's not a single person i know IRL in any hobby, normie or weeb or whatever, that supports replicas or bootlegs of any kind. but keep believing that it's normal, anon. you're sounding more and more like a butthurt replica-chan wanting validation.
>>10370528Ok, anon. Ignore the fact that hundreds of thousands of people support reps/don't care about pressure, and keep thinking your circle of IRL friends is a better sample. Reps exist in every hobby and rarely does anyone care much about their existence. Lolitas such as yourself are just especially autistic. Congrats.
>>10370535even more would support reps if they were openly accepted by comms. banning them makes them frowned upon. people don't want to be frowned upon. it's not that complicated lmao.
>>10370535>Reps exist in every hobby and rarely does anyone care much about their existence.What? Authenticity matters a ton in every fashion community and lolita is no different. They literally sell certificates of authenticity for high end bags. Are you Chinese or something? That's the only reason I could imagine you think off-brand garbage is normal.
old thread is killed
>>10367860>>10367880Thank you!
As someone that lives in a country where students wear uniforns, is it more or less weird to wear nanchatte outside?
>>10370502probably less weird because it sounds like a place where the public in general would dress up a little more. I live in an area without uniforms, and it's very "people of Walmart", so nanchatte would stick out. I think if you choose less standard, more vibrant colors and personalize it with fun accessories then it will look more like a fashion choice and less like an impersonation. Or the complete opposite, go for a more serious adult teacher preppy look. Or do what makes you happy.
>>10370502I want to be an eternal schoolgirl even if i'm 26 so I don't really care what others think about it. Its a fun fashion and rarely do they think you're from some specific school, even less in the west.
>>10370525same. though you get hit on if you live in asia, but some girls are in it for that.
Previous thread: >>10122672Show us what you've got in the mail!
>>10366142Shipping to the UK isn't being suspended though, so you needn't have worriedI'm waiting on some airmail in the moment (continental Europe) which usually takes around 2 weeks, it's not looking great
>>10366157That sucks anon, I hope you manage to have a good birthday all the same. What had you ordered?
>>10366580SAL small & standard has been suspended completely. Just EMS & Airmail going to the UK for the time being (and surface mail, lol)
>>10299705Your taste in FGO husbands is impeccable, anon.
Japan Post stated on their website that deliveries to the US are at minimum delayed for shipment by 2 weeks
I really love seeing well done handmade lolita Please keep the thread decent and don’t fight or insult peopleTake that to the ita thread not thisMainly wanna just see amazing stuff people have madeIf you made it yourself and want advice ask for it!Also if you didn’t make it maybe tell who did? I love following hand makers so Show off handmade wonders!
>>10370351This was actually what everyone who gave concrit said too
>>10370328Don't be you mean circle skirts anon :^)
>>10370328is there any particular reference that a lot of people like to use as a guide or pattern for starting out?
>>10370473Okay I'm the original girl who asked the pleats question and then promptly didn't visit cgl for two days and I'm so sorry for inadvertently starting that shit stormAnyways I got my pleats right lol
>>10370498It's not your fault. I hate when know-it-alls cause stupid bullshit like that, especially when they start claiming to be ~professionals~ and demanding everyone else prove themselves to defend their position. (You didn't cave and try to make a circle skirt, right?)
