Making a 100% DIY spacesuit.I have everything planned out, i'll mostly be using white duct tape and alu-foil, it gets the white spacesuit texture right and makes it slightly rigid, i have everything else mostly sussed out.For the helmet i'll be using a 30cm plastic bowl, i will bulk it up with carboard and then cover it in the foil duct tape until it's seamless, only problem is the visor.I want 2 visors, one just transparent and the other gold/black, tho i really want gold.I can't find any decent sized transparent plastic bowls, 30cm and 32cm. Where would i get plexiglass/whatever material would be best for this domes? Do they sell stuff like that at hardware stores like Bauhaus? google couldn't help me on this one cause the site is a fucking nightmare so i really don't know.I just want my realistic spacesuit larp
>>10806515My friend made a highly reflective tv head helmet with plexiglass from amazon, using a heat gun to bend it slightly into shape.. but it would be really hard to get into the shape you need. heating it over a bowl might work but idk how malleable it gets, but it allows one-way viewing with a mirror finish on the outside i guess
>>10806515Use a motorcycle helmet as the armature, then cover in semireflective foil (get it in the net).
Making the helmet from scratch would stretch my budget and i've found cheaper shit to order online, only problem is the visor is fucking blue. I can work around everything but that, how do i deal with this, are there any better cheaper options i can order?
>>10809007i could just use mosquito net and spray black over it, visibility would be shit but it would hide the blue and make it slightly opaque.But using this i could easily make a fully transparent visor out of something very cheap under the other visor, so it could work.
>>10809007>says they want to make a realistic spacesuit>cant even afford to make the helmetfucking lol
make jfash with AI. craiyon, midjourney, stable diffusion, maybe even dall-e2. whatever you've got, let's go.old thread >>10781025
god is dead
You don't "make" anything with AI, dumbass.AI is an entirely destructive process. It destructs its inputs into an output. If you add two inputs together, AI spits out something with a weighted addition from each. AI did not "make" shit. AI does not create. It destroys, you fucking moron.You don't "make jfash with AI," you absolute goon. AI is not creating anything.AI is singularizing original creations. This shouldn't have to be explained to you, but I guess your smartphone rotted your brain or something. Unironically, go touch grass. Grass is a real, original creation. Maybe a spark of something will go off in your brain to ground you back to reality. Man, you're stupid.>inb4 some roastie incel seethingSave yourself the trouble if you disagree with me; I don't care about your opinion. I don't care.

I still think about her old cosplays.
>>10800194I'm starting to see the light. You're dead right about her having god tier proportions - that ass and curvature is ridiculous yet tasteful.
>>10801247>>10806745Can't believe I got got twice
i feel like this thread was created by her to stay relevant lol not like she was ever really relevant in the cosplay scene.nice try
>>10808982he says, bumping an almost dead thread. retard.
Would be nice if she got into cosplay crafting in the future once she's done with her main gig and has more time/money to work with
Which SW armor should I make? Which one is the coolest?
>>10807615Scouttrooper armorOtherwise what>>10807620 said
>>10807615>OTScout TrooperStormtrooper>PTRexAny ARC Trooper>STNever
>>10807615No-brainer. I have watched all three SW movies, and only #4 ffeatures in them.
>>10807615The 501st clone trooper for me Or a sandtrooper
I've always wanted to make a sith trooper because KOTOR was one of my favorite games when I first started running games on my potato PC.
What are you gulls up to now ?Previous thread >>10788696
>>10808943I toured Austin in a skirt and didn't get anything bad at all
>>10808943Austin, Dallas, and SA, you're fine. Plenty of virtue signaling white libs to protect you. Houston is a little dicier. As an immigration hub, it's full of foreigners who subscribe to more traditionalist beliefs. Remember, trannyism is a mostly a phenom in the English speaking world. It's the ultimate first world problem.
>>10808943Depends, do you put out?
>>10808775There's still rooms outside of the block listed on the website. I mean, one thing downtown fort worth does not lack is hotels near eachother and it's not like it'll be summer.
>>10808904NTAYRT but im also looking for a room. idk how people do this kinda thing anymore since forums and facebook groups are mostly dead these days
Finally summer is leaving! Now that the time of heatstrokes is up, post coordinations for fall/winter weather, discuss fall/winter releases, and share your plans for Halloween season in gothic Lolita!

Old thread is hitting the image limit >>10715389This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

>>10808486That post is so pathetic. Give me 15 k so sexy cosplayers will still go to bed with me uwuAlso zero chance of prices going down. I expect the prices to go up next year. If there is a new clasic that is. Highly doubt it.
>>10808488I wasn't really around during the student group days of the cons, so to me it feels new. It's nice that they focus on the con being more of a big event.I think what I would like to see is animecon to dial back the cosplay competitions and focus more on the more common visitors. It's nice to see some well made cosplay at a competitive level, but it's way to many competitions now I'm getting sick of it. At this point there are 6 different cosplay competitions spread over 3 days.Especially what >>10808486 pointed out, it's expensive as well.To someone who usually books a hotelroom at cons, viencon isn't that expensive since tickets are included when you book a cottage.But if someone uses cheaper alternative where to sleep during cons, or only visit one day then viencon is a lot more expensive. Especially since viencon doesn't really have that much of a program.I haven't seen any official announcements about the tomo beach party, or at least not from a quick google search. Looks like their last edition was in 2018, long before corona.If they really wanted to hold another beach party then they would have done that already at this point. I guess the last edition wasn't a success or something.
Alright their theme is fucking the shit! Wel done! Everyone is dressed fancy as hell! The jazz band was hella awesome. Have allot to complain about acon over the years. But they nailed it! Well done. And it's only day one..
>>10808968I heard a ticket was something close to 120 euro ? That's pretty expensive for a "convention", rather extremely expensive.Anyway, have fun, I'm at Tomo, lots of stalls selling things, more then I see at most conventions.
>>10808983Inform yourself homie. tickets.animecon.nl says 79 euro at the moment, with the top tier at 86.

7063 here with a very belated gift I got from 6762 on the grinch squad! Thank you so much for everything. I always feel like I need more socks and it’s especially great to have another pair for gothic. I also absolutely love the pens! I love colorful pens already but with the cats on them they’re just perfect. Thank you again!!

I wish I didn't have such ugly handwriting, no matter what I do, the written parts of my gift will leave a poor impressoin and hurt the overall experience. The only saving grace is that I think it's at least readable.
>>10806574Get a cute typewriter, anon!
My giftee has picked up their gift! I'm so excited!>>10806609I actually knew someone who sent me a letter written on a typewriter, it's a good way to show that you put in some effort without writing it by hand. But I write letters so rarely, so it'd not be worth buying for me. I'll stick with handwriting.

I love all of these victorian-esque rooms, but I can't stop thinking about the dust that would accumulate and how hard it is to clean. How would you keep a house like this clean without hiring someone?
>>10807530air purifier
>>10807530Good filters, air purifier like the other anon said and various dusting tools. A blow dryer on the cool setting works well to free dust from tight spaces.
>>10807686>>10807829very helpful tips, thanks anons
Does anyone have tips for sewing room decor that is practical but not completely white and sterile looking? It seems like every sewing room on the planet uses the same white IKEA Kallax units, white IKEA peg board, white desk etc. while the only pops of colour are from the fabric stash peeking out from (and probably collecting a lot of dust in) the Kallax units. When I do find something more #aesthetic it’s very obviously staged and not someone’s actual workspace. Or, in some cases, it turns out to be a dollhouse interior…

>>10808343got bitched at in BST for this too so i feel like i should clarify. i don’t care if you gulls want to ree all day in the ita thread abt fat trans itas. i participate too kek. it just personally isn’t a conversation i want to have in my one on one dms with lolita friends. i’m seeing now that i shouldn’t have said anything, i just originally wanted to make it clear that i’m looking for friends to talk with about the fashion, not the cows that participate in it.
>>10808888No one will want to talk to you. Maybe try reddit.
>>10808891reddit is an ita hellscape. no one knows what the fuck they’re talking about on the lolita sub. i want to make friends who actually know how to dress. fair enough though. i’ll just keep lurking.
