>>10765147just to let you know, hime gyaru like jesus diamante or la pafait etc. and himekaji are nothing alike unless you are wearing himekaji stuff from 2009 or earlier maybe up to 2012. himekaji wasn't really gyaru related for long because it's not a gyaru style. it was only gyaru incidentally because kaji styles just follow trends and water them down. like, you can look up himekaji today and it is totally different because it's just following trends and hime is a huge umbrella term. it was just utilized by gyaru leaning brands and mags to attract a wider audience. that said lizlisa isn't even the same type of hime as hime gyaru, it used to be called romantic princess, which was just under the same princess umbrella.
>>10765162I've been wearing stuff from like 2012 I find on ebay and depop, I have no idea what kind of stuff Liz lisa makes nowadays. but I appreciate the tips and the information :) I will look into la pafait and jesus diamante!
>>10765172you're welcome. i hope i didn't come off as aggressive with that post. i just feel like hime stuff in general is very confusing. especially since there is so much overlap with lolita and other things. stuff that lizlisa puts out now is nothing like anything more "traditional" style brands or even old lizlisa used to make.
how do i find pieces for old school only? is there a certain japanese keyword i can look for in their 2ndhand market?
>>10765304You could try searching by year released maybe?

>>10764790yea they are using passes that scan at entry and exit points. makes sense considering wristbands are this easy to replicate. i lost my badge and they let me leave with no problem though.
>>10696852Which of these cons is considered the most established or gets the most attendees? Pensacon? I'm overdue to go visit Florida and would like to plan to visit a con there in 2023.
>>10764886Pensacon is pretty small. Megacon is the one you want
>>10764886Swampcon is easily the biggest>>10764788Wow. This might take me a little longer to crack...
>>10764886Megacon is just a consoomer con and really lacks a distinct culture. You probably want Supercon or OtakuFest
Last thread hit limit. >>10707654Post cosplayers who sport mammoth mammaries.
>>10765035I'm the first anon - I'm a 25yo woman who's got a partner and we fuck regularly but aight
>>10764935It's really not that unbelievable I legitimately don't know how it kept happening to me due to me being such a fucking sperg but it did, probably due to the type of chicks I hung out with. >>10765035I fucking wish
why do cosplay have so many pictures but so few videos?
>>10765040how can you be a woman and not know that breasts vary in firmness? some are very firm and don't move much, while others are very soft and bounce around a ton

>>10764733yeah I'd say soalso I had no idea Hange was supposed to be androgynousI just thought they were a girl
any girls that cosplay guys here? gonna cosplay a guy and tfw don't know how to get over the height anxiety
>>10764924Really only in the manga, honestly. Anime Hange is I think addressed specifically (and drawn as) female. I don't speak a lick of Japanese, but apparently they're never addressed with any specific gender in the manga. It's basically just left up to the reader, but given how they're drawn and the fact they're a high ranking officer in alt-history 1940s, it makes sense to me.>>10764927I'm not a girl, but I mean, stressing over it isn't gonna change your height. I don't think most people will care honestly. You could also just go for shorter characters if it really bothers you.
>>10764927There are tricks to it, like big heels and/or platforms.
>>10765082my character doesn't wear heels at all, but how would i go about platforms?tfw cosplaying a 6'1 char when yiou're 5'1 pain

Who's going this coming weekend to Phoenix Comicon (fuck name change litigation)I'll be presenting at a couple of the science panels and wearing a browncoat for firefly and a jedi outfit. I've been doing panels for a number of years but I'm always curious about recommendations to improve.
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.
>>10754937Do this.
>>10639155>>10659722>>10659733sounds like you trained for endurance and not bodybuilder, that's completely normal for competitive contact sports, especially mma and anything around it. there's a reason why professional fighters and sportsballers aren't uber-jacked unless your in the highest weight divisions. anon is literally just giving you beefing advice without realizing you trained within your weight division and tried to stay there, which is again completely normal; you didn't necessarily do anything majorly wrong, you just weren't training to get beefed
>>10609744who’s this thicc female
>>10733365These are hard, since they are designed to be very plain. Might as well just be a guy in a shirt and glasses.It's kind of like people cosplaying L
>>10761964Read the fucking thread.
Is this actually happening this year?Will it even be worth going or is it going to be a ghost town?
>>10761659Are shut-ins, hermits and hikikomori even going to cons in the first place?
>>10761823yesAZ is 30 minutes from me and it was one of the few things that ever got me out of the house every year
>one week away>no posts
>no karaoke>no rave>no tabletop games>no international guestsliterally what is the point of even going lmao
>>10765092>Already bought badge, hotel and took days off work>Schedule comes out a week before the con revealing those things are missingWhat a scam. I got nothing better to do though. And I'm debuting a new cosplay.

Naka-Kon, the convention that shut down on DAY 0 in 2020 during the opening of the rona, has just doubled down on their COVID mask/ vacc requirements and set a 6,000 attendance cap with no at-door badge salesDAYS after the convention was begging on Facebook / Instagram for money because they lost so much this year with their capped COVID-con. (Naka this Sept was capped at 2500 people)Thoughts, midwest bros? Nov 30: >Although we were able to host an in-person convention this year, we could not recoup any of the loss due to the capped attendance and additional operating costs caused by the postponement in date.>Now more than ever, we need everyone's help to keep Naka-Kon alive.>Getting Naka-Kon back on its feet will be a difficult road that will likely take several years to accomplish. As we move towards Naka-Kon 2022, we will be working hard to generate the funds to keep this convention running beyond next year. Our current goal is to raise $100,000 through grants and donations by Naka-Kon 2022.https://naka-kon.com/news/2021-11-30/call-donationsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10740971Paradiso modeling applications are up. Why did they move the fashion show to the evening? I feel like you’d want to see what you want before you do shopping.
What should I do during Naka?
>>10759024wear 50 masks
>>10759024according to the con runners, get vaxxed, boosted, tested, wear a mask, then wear another one, then you might get in the front doors
One thing about Naka’s guidelines that stands out to me is that I haven’t seen a specifically nonwoven mask requirement anywhere but a doctor’s office.
