It's been 10 years Are cons safer now?Anyone encountered any con creeps?I (male) got my butt grabbed by another guy once, didn't bother me desu (not gay)
>>10914505Skimpy cosplayers know they are going to get attentionIts not that they hate attention they just want people to be respectfulLook but do not touch
What defines a "creepshot" in cosplay conventions?
>>10910436wow look its this bait thread for the 1000th time to fish for reactions from radfemlitas and coomers. Not sure which is worse, this or the chinese girl bait thread
>>10914505I've never actually seen this with a real person. Obviously there's a line, touching or really inappropriate comments are a different story, but I know a bunch of girls who wear slutty costumes and I've virtually never heard a single one complain about ugly guys just looking or whatever, and the few exceptions were told more as jokes about really extreme cases, dudes visibly standing there with boners or really ridiculous looking dudes or whatever. Pretty much every single person I've ever seen actually post or talk about "creepy" dudes staring at girls in skimpy costumes was a girl who doesn't actually wear skimpy costumes, some bulldyke who thinks it's her responsibility to protect all the other girls from the evil that is masculinity or fat/ugly girls who are just coping with jealousy or just straight up prudes who are uncomfortable with any kind of display of sexuality (my ex was one of those) or whatever.
>>10914560Jajaja funny as fuck
How come they’re never as cute as JP idols?
>>10914473but how could she think what she does is "better" than the idol label? makes no sense lol
>>10914471Its more strongly worded so i thought maybe smth happened lol
>>10914424>open relationshipwhat's the tea on this? Has she actually said this in public? Isn't it financial suicide to be open about relationships as an idol?
>>10914488Marmalade has openly talked about her relationship with jeremy, they did the world cosplay comp together and even had a podcast. As for the open relationship. at the melopara grad concert, marmalade’s ex, i guess? Had his arm around another girl and started introducing the girl as his partner pre-performance. So not necessarily marmalade saying this but jeremy himself. No receipts for proof but anyone who went can confirm.
>>10914503Marmalade said she is happy she chose Japan over him so I guess it was too much?Jeremy has been pretty open about his relationship status, especially at WCS last year, and recently at Dreamhack he was pretty flirty with my friend.

>>10913603I love this.Also, did people stop posting AP releases to the Lolita Updates FB group? I was surprised not to see discussion about this release.
>>10913762lolita updates is just really slow
What's the best way to keep up with news of AP's MTOs? Not just announcements but reminders on the dates they happen etc? I don't wanna sign up for the official newsletter because I don't care about regular releases, only MTOs.
>>10913611the swollen sphere cheeks I do not understand the obsession at all, it makes otherwise cute plushies/figures look like they tried to swallow bees.
We haven’t had one of these in a while so I’ll start one up. Leaving your contact if you’re wtb is fine >what’s your dream dress>how long have you been searching>what do you love about it
>what’s your dream dressbaby the stars shine bright corduroy JSK with sleeves (2003)>how long have you been searchingtoo long :(>what do you love about iti have such a soft spot for corduroy fabric, it's so soft and envokes a feeling of nostalgia in me. the florals & details are everything i love in a dress, & i love nearly every colorway it comes in (sans redxblack). i would sell a kidney for this dress.
>what’s your dream dressmary magdalene fleur OP>how long have you been searchingsince i started >what do you love about itit's old, full of cute pintucks, and looks super versatile. i'd love to document it better and have fun coordinating it with different blouses
The biggest one (Anime North) is hardly relevant and only has washed up VAs, random indie vtubers, or just straight up completely unknown people as their guests. The vendors are mostly just people reselling cheap stuff from taobao or stolen prints. It feels so shittily put together that I think I'll just not buy a ticket and instead stroll around outside taking pictures of cool cosplays. Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but the grass always seems greener on the other side.On a side note, if anybody's into Project Moon stuff, please hit me up, I... I wanna make friends.
>>10914968bro that was pre-truck so like 2017 or 16
>>10915094Sick dude, will you be cosplaying anything? Let's meet up.
>>10915090canadian cons are not competing against US cons at all. no one from the US comes to our shit cons we have nothing to offer. zero NA licenses for anime or games or anything, same pool of guests with more complications. japanese guests don't want to come US guests definitely hate coming and it's basically only locals attending. like everything else canada is only competing in with the US in it's own head.
I just want to have fun and take pics of buffs and cutes and nice cosplays.

Previous thread >>10803531 died from a lack of posts. Not all that surprising with how little there was to post about at the time. Personally I'm also somewhat done with /cgl/ and all the pointless con drama and have been focusing on other things. But now that we've got several conventions around the corner, have a new thread!Question of the thread: What convention are you looking forward to the most this year and why?Upcoming major events>22-23 Sep: Elfia Haarzuilens, a large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens.>6-7 May: MIA NL, a popular commercial anime convention in Gorinchem.>21-21 May: Comic Con Brussels, a large commercial geek convention in Brussels.>9-11 June: Animecon, the oldest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Rijswijk.>24-25 June: Heroes DCC, the largest commercial geek convention with a focus on dealers. >30 Jun-2 Jul: Dokomi DE, a large popular anime convention in Dusseldorf.>8-9 July: Atsusacon, Belgium's largest anime convention... I think?>3-6 August: Castlefest, a(nother) large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens with tons of great food.>11-13 August: Abunai!, the second oldest and probably now largest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Veldhoven.>12-13 August: Showmasters Comic Con Amsterdam, a geek convention in Amsterdam.Comment too long.

>book hotel for anime con>think of it I booked right by the event center>check reservation from email>hotel is inside chinatownHow badly did I screw this up? Will train be okay? I do not want to taxi.
>>10910719Chinatown's street leads to Hollands Spoor on one side. If you take Tram 17 towards Wateringen from there and get out at the Volmerlaan stop, you're pretty much there already.Be careful not to miss the last tram back though, I think the last one is around midnight or so.
>>10911895And there is Uber
>>10910719it's so over for you.
>>10910719You mean to tell me that you aren't traveling by car or motorcycle?
share images of your favourite maid cosplays, whether it be the cutest girls or the most fashionable and intricate designs.
>>10910357Jesus this breast plate doesn't even match her skintone. Why does Rem always attract the worst kind of retards? Horrible cosplay right here.
>>10888653incredible. even the halo is well done

Old thread hit bump limit.My comm president is having her 40th birthday tomorrow. Wtf, I would have guessed she was like 25, but she has 2 kids who both cosplay Sonic th Headgod chracter
Got accepted to a PhD program on the other side of the country and invited to Los Alamos National Lab for a month to get up to speed with research. My lifts are up; my weight is back down. I'm also doing the cornball heritage trip to Ireland with family in at the end of the month.I still got it. I'm still a colonial cavalier yeehaw punk rock n roll Irish nuclear cowboy '80s tough guy.

Trying to think of a character to cosplay sends my mind on strange and depressing tangents.>why don't I finish shows anymore?>why can't my favorite franchises stay good?>have I really not played a single game made this year? or last year?>what am I even doing with my free time these days?
Received a 2006 Baby OP in the mail and I'm appalled by the quality. It wasn't one of their cheaper releases or a lucky pack dress. In fact, it's a relatively expensive OTT release, yet the construction, sewing job and some design choices are honestly on par with Taobao. I'm so disappointed, I never expected it from old/mid-school Baby. I was excited to put together a coord with it, but I know I'll never be able to wear a dress of this quality, so on LM it goes. What a bummer.
>>10914802Hell yeah brother!>>10914921>why can't my favorite franchises stay good?>have I really not played a single game made this year? or last year?"You have to force behaviours".
Old thread is nearing its limit >>10790295This 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.

Where is a good place to find more masculine patterns to sew? Found some very neat items but they seem complex to sew, so drafting my own pattern feels like it would be rough. Mainly looking to do some basic shirts first for the core of the closet.
and its the reddit zoomer
Anyone going to this?I might go to the one in Toronto on May 17.Sorry if this is the wrong board. I saw Anime Convention threads so I thought it might be okay.
damn bro fr missed the lip pillow in the upper deckie…
>>10915306The what....?!
Is it normal for miku to not even be on the screen btw? I was totally expecting her to be dancing on the screen... Big sad.
>>10915328it’s a dj event, these people don’t care she’s on screen for Miku expo
>>10915329miku EXPO, got it. i'll keep the difference in mind...
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY

Any gals here?
>>10915136Do you need to read that back to yourself, dingdong? Why would you ask and then say some shit as if they aren’t publishing again? Pls kys
>>10915176hmm i wonder if that has to do with why the OP asked if it was still being published or something. you're probably too young to even know they stopped. zoomers are always so angwy!
Here!
Anyone notice himegyaru gets so butchered by zoomers? It's worse with hime than the other styles. Just wear lolita if you don't actually understand hime.
>>10915322they don't understand lolita, that's why they're wearing hime. they think it's just hime lolita with less rules.
I figured I'd make one. I only ever come back for cons I'm going to. Any of you men going? Yeah I know it's expensive. And mostly drunk. But I enjoy the atmosphere and laying by the pool during the day. I've been serious on the diet and exercise train. Should be looking good enough for my Krauser cosplay in a month.
Hearing the people get scam is soo funny to me. Like of course I trust random person on internet with my money to save me a room.
I went last year and it was the best con I've ever been to. Definitely you need to be staying on-site though, I was seeing like 15 people in one room like sardines on the regular.The villa parties were great, having what is essentially a house party at an anime con is so much better than dealing with the limitations of even a larger hotel suite. People were friendly and had random badge flair to give out. Wish I could go again.Shoutouts to Anon since you're probably in here.
>>10914671NO VILLA SHILLS AND NO FAT CHICKS
>>10914671Thanks bud! Hope to see you at this year's CWF!
>>10914701POOR
How was Holmat? Anything interesting happen?Anyone keeping an eye on the cosplayblackbook IG for the latest drama?Any future plans?
There we have it, folks. It's a week later and further than ever, but at least we're not stuck waiting until summer only to find it's cancelled. And most importantly, no atrium
NYS, retard.
