>>10915255Forgot about fakestar. I hate how they keep using 1720 because that venue is in the middle of bumfuck with no way to get there besides driving or uber. They have a show on July 3rd with Jiluka (vkei) and some local bands at 1720. That venue must be really cheap.
>>10915643The seat availability is both hilarious and painful. Hoping the (lack of) turnout will teach them to stop wasting money on the best venues for this garbage. This wouldn't even fill up Petree.
>>10915685Can't blame AX for Anycolor's fuck ups. Their mini-concert last year at the JW filled up the entire room. It was considered the consolation prize for those who couldn't get Hololive tickets since it was hours before the concert that day. They likely signed a contract then and there to secure the Peacock Theater for this year and it would be financially costly for everyone if there was a breach. The show must go on, but unfortunately it will be a huge L for Anycolor and AX.

I fucked up the title of the last thread and put Anime Weekend Atlanta.Anyone going to Momocon? Dates are Friday, May 24th through Monday, May 27th at the Georgia World Congress Center. Have any cosplay plans? Doing any interesting panels? Selling anything?
>>10914284Lines for registration aren't really a problem at momocon, they really nail this part of the con
I’ll see you next week
Why isn't the panel schedule printable outside of Google drive
Are we having a meetup at the con too other than the bar we were saying earlier? If so, what days and where at the con? I might not be able to go to the bar meetup.
What panels you guys going to?

>>10915602Do you know what year the photo was taken? It could possibly be one of the releases without a photo. https://lolibrary.org/items/btssb-heart-apron-2000
>>10915602This image is from the 90s and there are only a select few Baby pieces archived from the time period, so you most likely won't find out which one it is, unless you spot it on the secondhand market and get the item number
>>10915622>almost all dark coloured cottons will discolour white lace trim over timenot sure what detergent you're using, but this is just not true.
>>10915562nayrt but I machine wash colorways and prints that are well known for bleeding color and my lace has never changed color because I followed advice from people in my local comm who already had experience with it. I even fixed yellowed lace on well known color bleed pieces. If you use color catchers, the right machine program and a sensible detergent you won't have any problems. The first few washes of "bleeders" are the most important and most of the issues with dye run happen in this stage when the piece isn't washed the right way. You may need to wash the piece 2 or 3 times consecutively to get rid of most of the unfixed dye.Hand wash if you want to, there's nothing wrong with it. But machine washing isn't bad in any way and won't lead to discoloration of the lace or other white details if you know what you're doing.
>>10915602It looks like to me that this is actually a skirt with a (detachable) apron attached, because the skirt portion goes all the way down. afaik all btssbs aprons are shorter than the main pieces.It could also be an altered piece. If you attach buttons to the inside of the skirt waistband you can add a detachable suspenders and add a heart shaped apron bib. Will only look good if your fabrics match though.
who's going? what are you going as?this'll be my first con since like 2007.

Just got back. Con was incredibly mid. I'll process my photos later, though I didn't take too many. Was ignored quite a few times when I was asking for pics.

What's the best community? If you could just magically wake up already living in the city with the comm of your choice, where would it be and why?Are there any comms that you feel are too far gone and better left given up on to dissolve by their own internal squabbling?
>>10915124>spergeAnon stop.
>>10914745I use it and no, it's a "stop beating yourself up because it's extremely unhealthy and won't help you lose weight or make you feel better about yourself, sometimes things just won't fit and you should look at options and clothes that make you happy now, instead of lamenting what you don't have." Even if I and many others were to lose weight, it doesn't mean we will be happier. It doesn't guarantee clothes will fit right. I could be 100 pounds and it still wouldn't change the fact that my shoulders are 40cm and I look horrible in any dress that requires having a flat chest. the "clothes should fit you not the other way around" is a good mentality for those who have always felt bad about their own sizing, shape, or awkward body proportions. It helps accept that brands don't HAVE to cater to us, and we don't HAVE to buy from them. Because they aren't MADE for us, and that's it. I'd love to be able to wear OPs, but blouse and skirt will always look the most flattering on me. Part of dressing well is knowing what will look good on you, and giving up or finding a solution to what won't.
>>10915406nayrt, I 100% agree. But that makes too much sense and is too positive for CGL.
>>10915406well this makes sense and is not how the other anon was using it, but i think ayrt is claiming that some butthurt lolitas use it as a cope in a sour grapes kind of way, and i've personally seen that sentiment myself. the anon talking about it in a historical context seems out of touch.
>>10915619I'm the anon who talked about first seeing that phrase in a historical fashion video. My definition is the same as what >>10915406 is using. Make clothes work for you now, buy things that fit you now. That I haven't seen it used any other way in the lolita community doesn't mean I'm out of touch. It suggests we don't participate in the same online spaces. I don't visit rufflechat or BSOLF. I'm a member of a few fb groups and 3 discord groups. I'm not in any space anymore where it's normal for people to complain about brand sizing or people who claim that brands are fatphobic.If not going to those places makes me out of touch, then that's not a bad thing.

Taking place April 27th-28th we're just over a month away, are any of you guys planning on going? Anyone returning from last year, or planning on going for their first time this go-around? Cosplay plans? C'mon let's hear 'ya out.
>>10914390Oh? More details? I know most Marisas were staff/volunteers, so I'm curious which one you mean?
>>10914660Nothing dramatic, really. Pic rel Marisa was there both days. She definitely got my attention and we talked a bit, had a drink. I wouldn't have given it too much thought, but some anon mentioned her and that was all anyone could talk about after. "She's so cool, she's so stuck up. She's hot, she's ugly. She's a tranny." Clearly someone who knows how to get attention at least. ...Though I just checked her Xitter and saw she *was* there after all
>>10914675Yes we get it you are a pornsick moid who orbits tranny secondaries because they have le guns. You are everything wrong with the western Touhou fanbase.
>>10914691Lose weight.
Just dropping in to say behind the scenes was such a mess>There was a volunteer that was being extremely rude the entire con. But most noteworthy, they threw things at Shiori/A-ONE during the concert. Pretty sure they were booted.>No direction for volunteers, so opening times of artist alley/vendors was unclear even to vendors themselves>Barely any Japanese speaking staff to deal with A-ONE>No one could hear announcements over music blasting on the main stage>No proper line management >Most events/performances were lateAnything I missed?

>>10912031No, I've seen girls walking around that look like anime girls without even trying. It just so happens none of them are caucasian.Saya is a beautiful australopithecus, sure. But she wouldn't get very much attention if she went to a cosplay convention in the country where anime comes from.

Guys, how old is too old?Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.
>>10911155Ah great , I have 11 years left
>>10906476Dude do what you want. I'm telling you because I'm insecure about my age, I'm about to turn 36 and I see the lines on my face growing and I'm full of regrets and a desire to go back and try again. But I still plan to go to cons, I realized now more than ever how short life is and how fast time goes by. Do what makes you happy so you have no regrets.
>>10906476It truly doesn't matter, as long as you're having fun and enjoying yourself that's all that really matters. Don't stress about it too much!
>>10913874Its kind of funny how our parents does their best to drill into our heads how short life is, and in a twist we will be doing the same to the younger generations now that we know how short life is indeed.
